Eight Finishes, Eight Textures
Tadelakt
A waterproof lime plaster finished with soap and stone, traditionally used in Moroccan hammams. The only finish here built for direct water contact.
Learn More
Roman Clay
A soft, matte clay finish applied by hand in loose, layered strokes. Reads as movement and depth rather than pattern, ideal for living rooms and bedrooms.
Learn More
Limewash
A thin mineral wash brushed over plaster or masonry, leaving soft, cloud-like variation instead of a flat coat of color. Breathable and traditional.
Learn More
American Clay
A natural clay plaster with a smooth, low-sheen surface and warm, earthy tones. A gentler texture than Roman Clay, suited to bedrooms and quieter rooms.
Learn More
Diamond Plaster
A polished finish built for extra depth and reflected light. Suited to a single feature wall where the surface itself is the design statement.
Learn More
Savannah Plaster
A custom textured finish for walls that call for something outside the standard palette. Ask to see it in the showroom alongside the other seven.

Moroccan Clay
A raw, tactile clay finish rooted in the same North African tradition as tadelakt, but left unpolished for a more organic surface.

How to Narrow It Down
Sheen
Venetian Plaster and Diamond Plaster read as polished, with light moving across the surface as you walk by. Tadelakt sits in between, closer to satin. Roman Clay, American Clay, Limewash, Savannah Plaster and Moroccan Clay all read matte, with the material itself doing the work instead of a topcoat.
Texture
Some finishes are close to flat, built up in thin, tight coats. Others carry visible hand movement, the marks of the trowel left in on purpose. If you want a wall that looks touched by hand, look at Roman Clay, Savannah Plaster or Moroccan Clay. If you want a wall that disappears into the room, look at Venetian Plaster or American Clay.
Wet Areas
Tadelakt is the finish built for water. It is traditionally used in showers, tubs and hammams, and holds up to direct contact in a way the others are not designed for. The rest of the range belongs on dry interior walls.
Labor vs. Material
Finishes that build up in multiple thin coats and get burnished by hand, like Venetian Plaster and Diamond Plaster, lean on labor and skill more than raw material. Others put more of the character into the material itself before it ever touches the wall. Either way, the right answer depends on the room, which is why we walk through it in person.
Still Deciding?
See Them Before You Choose
Photos only tell you so much about a plaster finish. Sheen, depth and texture change with the light in a room, and they change again once you run a hand across the wall. The fastest way to choose is to see the finishes in person.
Visit the showroom at 2404 Lake Austin Blvd to see all eight side by side, or start a project and we will bring samples into the conversation from the first call.
FAQ
Common Questions
Which finish should I use in a bathroom or shower?
Tadelakt is the finish built for wet areas. It is traditionally used in Moroccan hammams and holds up to direct water contact. The rest of the range is meant for dry interior walls.
Can I use more than one finish in the same home?
Yes. Most projects mix finishes room to room, matched to how each space is used and lit.
What is the difference between Roman Clay and American Clay?
Both are matte clay finishes with visible hand texture. Roman Clay tends to read looser and more layered, while American Clay sits smoother and quieter. Seeing both in the showroom side by side is the fastest way to tell them apart.
What is the difference between Tadelakt and Moroccan Clay?
Both come out of the same North African tradition. Tadelakt is burnished and sealed to be waterproof. Moroccan Clay is left unpolished, so it reads more raw and tactile, and it is not built for wet areas.
Do you have samples of each finish?
Yes. All eight finishes are on display at the showroom at 2404 Lake Austin Blvd, Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm, and weekends by appointment.
How do I start narrowing down a finish for my project?
Bring photos of the room, note where the light comes from, and think about how the wall will be touched or used day to day. From there, a visit to the showroom or a project inquiry is the fastest way to compare finishes against the actual space.
