Tadelakt and Microcement are both seamless finishes, but they differ greatly in their origin, composition, and aesthetic appeal.

Tadelakt is a traditional Moroccan lime plaster, crafted entirely from natural materials. It offers a warm, organic texture with a soft sheen that recalls polished stone or worn marble. Its naturally water-repellent surface, achieved through a special olive soap treatment, makes it ideal for showers, spas, curved walls, and interiors that embrace a wabi-sabi, Mediterranean, or earthy minimalism style. Because it’s applied by hand using ancient techniques, every Tadelakt surface is unique and artisanal. It’s especially valued by designers who prioritize sustainability and authenticity.

In contrast, Microcement is a modern, cement-based coating designed for versatility and performance. It creates a smooth, continuous surface with a more industrial or minimalist aesthetic, and it can be used on walls, floors, stairs, furniture, and even in wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens. When sealed properly, it becomes highly waterproof and durable, making it suitable for high-traffic areas in both residential and commercial settings. Microcement is thinner than Tadelakt and generally faster to apply, with a wider range of textures and finishes available.

• Tadelakt is best for artisanal, organic interiors with natural materials.
• Microcement is ideal for modern, durable, and design-flexible environments.
