As big fans of terrazzo, there’s nothing we like better than seeing it used on floors and walls anywhere! Diespeker terrazzo is most commonly available at our standard 20mm in thickness, with 30mm for certain applications. We have now introduced 12mm terrazzo tiles. These are more suitable for cladding walls due to their lighter weight, and also for floors where a low profile is needed. For flooring we would advise […]

Another unusual project for the Diespeker team led to a unique way for one client to play vinyl. Andrew Okocha is really into his turntables and was delighted to get hold of an EMT Series turntable, the type once used by the BBC. It had been refurbished in Germany and when it arrived, Andrew realised it was just a skeleton frame, which needed to be suspended in some sort of

When client Christina Eriksson wanted a table top for her new coffee table, she visited the Diespeker showroom to find inspiration – and fell in love with one of our newest resin terrazzo options, the striking green and white TE112. Christina had a very clear idea about the shape of the table, which she wanted to be rather like an egg. Not an oval – an egg! Our very own
As with many during lockdown, we’ve been reminiscing and looking back on previous work we’ve completed. In this retrospective, we take a look at a floor we created in 2018 for interior designer Tamzin Greenhill. Tamzin will be forever remembered at Diespeker for her dedication to getting it right! She wanted a bespoke, seamless floor for her basement room and knew exactly where to find it. Tamzin was already aware

With roots firmly fixed in terrazzo used in ancient Rome, it is named after

Diespeker was recently involved in the refurbishment of two toilet floors, at Bexleyheath and Falconwood stations. Maybe not the most glamorous job we’ve undertaken, but a fascinating reminder of our history with mosaic flooring. One of the earliest examples of our work is the Roman Cube mosaic created for the National Portrait Gallery in 1896, still at the entrance to the building to this very day! The mosaic floors in
