No-one does terrazzo like Diespeker

Diespeker both makes and imports terrazzo. Our experience from almost 150 years of working with terrazzo has given us unparalleled expertise in all aspects of manufacture and installation. Here we’re delighted to provide background information about the material that we love to introduce clients to.

What is terrazzo?

Said to date back to Roman times, or, some believe, Ancient Egypt, terrazzo has been used in some form or another for many centuries. It became popular in the UK in the mass of post-war building projects as a cost-effective alternative to popular stones marble and granite. More recently, terrazzo has enjoyed a revival, due to its resilience and easy maintenance, able to deliver aesthetic versatility, technical performance, and, increasingly, sustainability. Whether poured in situ or cast into tiles, panels or bespoke elements, terrazzo also offers a wide range of design possibilities and a proven track record for use in high-traffic commercial environments as well as in the home.

London-made terrazzo

Diespeker terrazzo can be bespoke made to virtually any specification, using traditional hand casting skills. The process is labour intensive, requiring close attention throughout the process. Intense polishing at the end of the process allows the material to come into its own. The real attraction of this hand cast material is the way it can be used to create truly unique designs. Any number of colour combinations is possible, and special additions to the mix will create an exclusive product.
