Where is Diespeker based?

In London. Diespeker's factory and storage facility are at Ormside Street in Bermondsey, SE15, and the company has worked in England since 1881.

Is Diespeker terrazzo made in the UK?

Diespeker both makes and imports terrazzo. Bespoke terrazzo is hand-cast by its own team, other terrazzo is imported from specialist suppliers, and details such as grooves and insets are cut in London.

Can I get CAD or BIM files for Diespeker?

Diespeker does not publish CAD or BIM downloads on its website. It provides site surveys, technical support and drawings for each project, and Faura coordinates these for the trade client.

Rubblazzo is a terrazzo developed by Diespeker with garden designer Tom Massey, made from the rubble of demolished London buildings set in a polymer-cement base. It can be used for floors, cladding, worktops, outdoor furniture and planters.

What is the difference between resin and cement terrazzo?

Cement terrazzo sets marble chippings or other aggregate in Portland cement, the traditional binder. Resin terrazzo uses epoxy resin, or now a bio-polymer base, and Diespeker notes it resists cracking and crazing and is lighter.

Can terrazzo be used with underfloor heating?

Yes. Diespeker notes that terrazzo's high conductivity makes it work well with underfloor heating.

Which finishes are available, and is terrazzo slip resistant?

Diespeker offers polished, honed, brushed and sandblasted finishes; honed suits wet rooms and bathrooms, and sandblasted adds slip resistance. It also carries out pendulum slip testing in-house.

How much does Diespeker terrazzo cost?

It depends on the design, from standard to bespoke, the thickness, the format, the finish, the edging and cut-outs, and installation. Faura prepares trade quotations for each project.

What are Diespeker lead times?

Lead times depend on whether the material is held in stock, imported or made to order, and on fabrication and installation. Faura confirms timing for each order.

Materials · Terrazzo · Samples

Terrazzo: cement, resin and bespoke

Cement is the traditional binder, with marble chippings or other aggregate set in grey or white Portland cement, left natural or dyed with pigments. Resin terrazzo uses epoxy resin, aggregate and pigments, and Diespeker now also offers it with a bio-polymer base; it notes that resin resists cracking and crazing and is lighter.

Bespoke terrazzo is hand-cast to specification, and the aggregate can include coloured glass, shells or semi-precious stones. Diespeker makes a sample of every bespoke design before production, and cuts details such as grooves and insets at its London factory.

Rubblazzo and Palladiana

Rubblazzo: developed with garden designer Tom Massey, using rubble from demolished London buildings set in a polymer-cement base. Every batch is unique, and Diespeker says it will not discolour with UV exposure, so it can be used inside and out, from poured floors and tiles to cladding, worktops, outdoor furniture and planters.
Palladiana: terrazzo made with marble pieces from 25 × 25 mm up to 300 × 300 mm, each placed by hand, for floors and worktops.

History

According to the company, Italian entrepreneur Luigi Odorico sent his sales representative Sigmund Diespeker and craftsman Giovanni Mariutto to England in 1881 to research the market; instead, they founded Diespeker & Co, one of the first companies to offer terrazzo and mosaic in the country. Diespeker lists the Royal Academy, Oxford University, the London Coliseum, Selfridges and Harrods among the sites it has supplied, and its marble work from the 1890s can still be seen at the National Portrait Gallery.

Finishes and performance

Finishes: polished, honed (a matt finish suited to wet rooms and bathrooms), brushed and sandblasted for extra slip resistance.
Slip testing: pendulum testing carried out in-house by Diespeker, with a written report and a Diespeker certificate.
Underfloor heating: Diespeker notes that terrazzo's high conductivity makes it work well with underfloor heating.
Thickness: standard tiles at 20 or 30 mm, with a thinner 12 mm terrazzo option for walls.
