Trabadillo
Traditional lime and gypsum mortars. Continuous floors and walls, hygroscopic and with a natural rustic aesthetic.
Trabadillo is a historical hybrid mortar that combines the warmth and rapid setting of gypsum with the strength and hardness of lime. This material synergy creates continuous floors and vertical coatings that regulate humidity exceptionally well, offering vibrant textures and a natural patina that improves with use.
Living floors and walls
We apply it both in continuous pavements and in vertical coatings (walls). On floors, it offers a hard surface but silky, ideal for walking barefoot. On walls, it creates rich and vibrant textures.
It is an honest material that does not hide its nature: it presents variations (waters), small imperfections, and a patina that improves with use and time.
Applications
- Residential floors
- Interior wall coating
- Historical rehabilitation
Unique characteristics
Quick setting
Technique that leverages the speed of gypsum and the hardness of lime to create walkable pavements in a short time.
