Tadellino
Our signature bathroom finish. Tadellino is Tadelakt inspired — a high-performance water resistant plaster for showers, baths, and wet areas. Seamless, no grout lines, water resistant. The ancient Moroccan technique reimagined for modern Australian homes.
Seamless. Water Resistant.
Alive.
No grout lines. One continuous surface, hand-polished with stone.
Ancient Craft.
Modern Bathroom.
Tadellino takes its inspiration from Tadelakt — a traditional Moroccan lime plaster used in hammams for centuries. The lime reacts during application to form a water resistant surface.
No grout lines. No sealer. No tiles cracking at the joints. Just one continuous surface, hand-applied and polished with a stone.
Every wall is unique. The natural variation in the finish is part of its beauty.

Common Questions
Does it need a sealer in the shower?
Tadellino is water resistant through its application process. The lime reacts to form a naturally water resistant surface.
Are there grout lines?
None. It's a completely seamless surface — one continuous finish from floor to ceiling if you choose.
What's the substrate?
Tadellino requires a render coat first — it doesn't go direct to plasterboard. A waterproofing membrane is recommended under the render in wet areas.
Can it be any colour?
Yes — wide standard range plus custom colours to match any Dulux, Resene, or Porter's code.
How long does it last?
10-Year Limited Warranty when applied by our trained applicators. Properly maintained, it lasts indefinitely — and can be re-polished if needed.
