The application process involves layering and compressing the plaster, followed by polishing to achieve its distinctive shine. Tadelakt is often used in wet areas such as bathrooms and hammams, prized for its durability, breathability, and elegant finish. Its unique aesthetic can add warmth and character to various spaces.
