Keeping your terrazzo countertop pristine – new anti-stain protection from Diespeker

We’ve worked with terrazzo for many years, providing beautiful surfaces for residential and commercial projects around the world. The aesthetic qualities of terrazzo cannot be underestimated. Of course, we know that it’s a material that needs be cared for, especially when used for a countertop in a working kitchen. In this respect, terrazzo is no different from other materials including marble, granite and wood. The only truly ‘bombproof’ surface is […]

How should I prepare for installing my Diespeker floor tiles?

This will depend on what type of floor you have and what state it is in. There are different considerations for tiling on different surfaces such as wood or concrete as well as for different types of tile (marble, granite, terrazzo and porcelain). It is worth spending time researching these prior to tiling. However, here are some general steps to follow: 1. Check that the surface you are tiling on

Mastering the Malta Marathon

Diespeker recently sent a team to Malta to take part in the Malta Marathon, as part of ongoing fundraising efforts for teenage mental health charity, stem4. MD John Krause was the only one in the team to take part in the full marathon, in a time of just under 3:54 coming in 15th in his age group.

Choosing the right terrazzo for you!

We like to make life easy for customers, so we continually check our processes to make sure they are user-friendly. One thing that was flagged up was the somewhat clunky way the product pages on our website worked when choosing between cement terrazzo and resin terrazzo samples. This was a legacy from the days when we mostly stocked cement. We’ve now addressed this, so you’ll find that when you’re browsing

Additional storage facility ups the ante

A potential concern for projects requiring natural and manufactured stone is always going to be stock availability. Marble, granite and terrazzo are all luxury materials and few UK businesses have the capacity or space to keep vast quantities on site. Over the past decade, Diespeker has cultivated a reputation as a comprehensive stockist, with the choice of stone kept stored on the premises ever expanding. We even took on a

We’re huge fans of marble, so it was great to be part of this spectacular project from Alexander Owen Architecture that showcased this natural stone so perfectly. We were also delighted when ‘Hansler Road’ was awarded Highly Commended for New Build Modern Style Stone Cladding at the Natural Stone Awards. The project called for two new marble-clad single-storey spaces to be added to a Victorian mid-terrace home in East Dulwich

Return to the rockface

Several years ago we were asked to create a piece with an unusual edge, so we invested in a special machine that could achieve the look required. We undertook several projects but only recently has the edge, called rockface, resurfaced. Rockface edging has a unique look, unfinished and rough. It works to the strengths of the stone, showing patterns and veins usually hidden under the surface. This is a feature

Angela Scanlon’s marvellous marble experience!

Diespeker met Angela when an episode of Your Home Made Perfect featured terrazzo, and she visited our factory with architect Will Foster to see how terrazzo was made. Angela and Will even made their own bespoke terrazzo, a process they seemed to greatly enjoy. Fast forward to 2022 and Angela was looking for a new coffee table. So she decided to come to the experts – Diespeker! We asked Angela
