Fabulous counter for wonderful new children’s clothing store

Diespeker loves to work with fresh young brands, so when Roarsome approached us to discuss a countertop for their flagship store, we were only too happy to help. Roarsome has a mission to encourage children to get away from screens and phones and enjoy mini adventures and exploration. So Roarsome clothing spans summer fun, autumn layers and winter activities and includes a brilliant range of characters designed by the illustrator

Cleaning your terrazzo worktop with confidence! Diespeker’s new neutral cleaner

We recently launched our first ‘own brand’ maintenance product, Diespeker anti-stain protection. It’s gone down so well that we decided to expand the range with a neutral detergent for daily cleaning. Although durable, terrazzo also needs a good dose of TLC to keep it looking at its best. When cleaning the surface, it’s important to avoid using any harsh chemicals as these can cause discoloration – in much the same

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

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

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

Phenomenal fluted features are trending!

The clean, polished surface of terrazzo is something that we are very familiar with at Diespeker. Many of our projects require a beautiful, simplistic finish. However, there are other ways to play with terrazzo, from bending it (one of our areas of expertise) to creating a fluted design. Diespeker has been creating fluted terrazzo surfaces for some years and we have worked on some superb projects. Recently there’s been a

Terrazzo splashback for Victorian townhouse

Bury St Edmunds kitchen designers K2B turned to Diespeker for terrazzo for a recent redesign that called for something contemporary. The project was for a client in Ipswich, Suffolk, who wanted the kitchen in their Victorian town house completely revamped. The brief was for something contemporary that would still sit well with the design of the house. Initially the idea was for a smart Shaker style kitchen, but as the

Opening up for Open House

Although Diespeker frequently welcomes people to our South London premises to view products and discuss their projects, we haven’t been in the habit of offering tours – until now. It all came about when Diespeker was contacted by Mark at Kaymet, another business local to the Old Kent Road area, regarding the launch of a book we’ve been involved with (Made in London, more on that soon). Mark also mentioned
