I am very impressed with this system. I am a carpenter, and home builder. I've been spending a lot of time in the past few years developing a sustainable style of construction in Brazil. I really like takelakt for bathroom finishing. Keep up the great work.

Thanks to precise TADELAKT is a millineray technique originating from Morocco.

Beautiful presentation. Looking forward to doing this in the bathrooms & kitchen. Thank you

[helenrasmussen]

If I were to do an entire shower surround this way, would I do the floor first? And separately? Feathering up the walls? And then doing the walls and feathering downward over them? I can't imagine doing it all as one. Please advise! This is an excellent tutorial, and makes me believe I could really do this technique. Thank you!

First step always lasts a week... Getting a base surface prior to the lime plaster. Do we perhaps apply a plaster bonding primer to a concrete board? Or lime plaster and lathe below?

[oakleyalmberg]

How long after the wax coat is applied is the shower ready to be exposed to water and ready for use?

[ranadharma]

Nice to see. Can you tell me how much time to keep distance between second or third cote

Great video with very useful tips. I only thought that music and noises (trowelling, mixing, etc) drowned out the voice, at time making it difficult to understand what was being said.

[jamesmiller]

Great Video. What's the best way to transition from Tadelakt to normal wall surface when a shower wall ends in the middle of a straight wall instead of a corner? A tile type transition boarder or can you just tape it off and smooth out the end?

I noticed the base coat application was left out in footage, what are the main differences between dry and wet use? I only noticed the soap mix ratio as different and 2 extra finish coats? Do you still need to prime the drywall with dimensional grit or is that just an alternative?

Why wax instead of stone polishing the soap?

[thewestbound]

wow very professional, looks incredible!

[wyattoutlaw]

I am so doing this.!
So can you put your 1st coat straight onto a besser block or concrete wall or is it better to seal a bathroom concrete wall with a sealer before doing tadelakt?

[jordanhershey]

Can you do an entire shower with this meaning the floor as well? If not do you recommend installing floor tile before or after the walls?

[watchlearnrepeat]

Can you do this over existing travertine tiles on the shower walls?

[geraldsam]

Im from Chennai, India.. could u refer any of your friends who r in India who can help me out this kind of plastering

[versus]

How often do you need to apply the wax ? Is this application suitable for bathroom / shower ?

[necrokittie]

this is more of a lightly compressed lime plaster, not true tadelakt. it has all the steps of tadelakt but the burnishing at the end is done with the wrong tool. it is not being compressed enough to be a traditional tadelakt. which is why people would need that wax coat at the end... because it's not compressed enough to be waterproof like traditional tadelakt.

[emunahstewart]

Hi there, can Tadelakt be applied to lime plastered walls that has been dried for sometime ?

[TimKollat]

1 key coat, 2 base coats, 4 wet on wet finish coats. That seems like a lot. Could you kill the suction on the base coat with a bonder then just do 2 wet on wet finish coats?
