Quote: tadelakt
E.g.: walk-in shower coated with waterproof tadelakt
Before choosing tadelakt for a bathroom, check where the proposed product can be used. Kreidezeit currently distinguishes water repellency from waterproofing and does not recommend its tadelakt for showers, washbasins or bathtubs. This limit concerns that reference; the name does not establish universal shower suitability.
Choose a product and location
Distinguish decorative wall, splash zone, shower interior, basin and floor on the plan. Request current instructions and confirmation of permitted use. If the intended use is excluded, choose another documented system; tradition or a photograph does not replace this check.
Check the base before appearance
Have the existing substrate assessed and preparation, junctions and moisture protection specified. Assign interfaces with plumbing, shower tray and adjoining covering. Do not expect soap treatment to remedy a leak or make an unsuitable assembly fit for water exposure.
Agree a crafted appearance
Request a representative sample and examples of the installer's work. Approve colour, sheen, variation and corner shapes in the intended light. Define accepted differences and inspection arrangements. Natural does not guarantee identical composition across brands or a completely uniform surface.
Plan application and reuse
State occupancy, protection and availability of other trades. Distinguish installer attendance, drying and first-use conditions. Confirm the schedule in writing after product selection rather than deriving a universal duration from the name.
Accept care before ordering
Obtain permitted products, use-specific frequency and steps for marks or damage. Keep reference, colour and instructions. Ask who can repair the finish and under what conditions, without assuming invisible repairs. Compare the care requirement with your habits.
