In our two previous articles, Ryan Chivers and I considered the means, methods, and materials of traditional Tadelakt in Morocco, aspects of which extend back to Roman times. Having origins as a practical coating for waterproofing cisterns, the aesthetic qualities of Tadelakt were soon recognized and its use was extended for other wet areas, such as the famous Hammams (public bath houses), private sinks and tubs, as well as an exterior coating for walls to add a bit of luxury for prominent buildings.
