Specifying Diore Terrazzo: sustainable worktops
In a built environment increasingly shaped by sustainability and lifecycle thinking, material selection matters more than ever. Architects, designers, and contractors are under growing pressure to specify products that combine technical performance, aesthetic versatility, and verified environmental value.
At Bluestone, we’ve developed Diore Terrazzo as a terrazzo solution engineered to meet the evolving needs of today’s construction and design sectors—whether for a flagship commercial project or a high-specification residential kitchen.
From Commercial Interiors to Residential Kitchens
Diore Terrazzo is a modern take on a classic material—engineered for a wide range of interior applications:
- Commercial fit-outs and public realm
- Retail, hospitality, and cultural venues
- Education, healthcare, and transport infrastructure
- High-end residential kitchens and bathrooms
- Multi-unit housing developments and build-to-rent schemes
- Whether specified for a boutique hotel lobby or a private client’s marble-alternative worktop, Diore Terrazzo delivers consistent technical performance, timeless design, and exceptional sustainability credentials.
Sustainability at the Core: 70–90% Recycled Content
Depending on the colour, Diore Terrazzo contains 70–90% recycled aggregates and post-industrial stone fragments. This significantly reduces reliance on virgin materials and supports a wide range of sustainability goals:
- Circular economy alignment
- Resource efficiency and waste diversion
- Reduced embodied carbon and raw material footprint
- Contribution toward BREEAM, LEED, and WELL standards
- All aggregates and additives are selected not just for performance and visual appeal, but for their ethical sourcing, non-toxic profile, and long-term safety.
Recycle Programme: Return, Reclaim, Reuse
Bluestone’s Recycle Programme is designed to close the loop on Diore Terrazzo’s lifecycle:
Return, Reclaim, Reuse: At the end of its useful life, Diore Terrazzo can be returned to Bluestone, where it is reclaimed, reprocessed, and reintegrated into new material.
This initiative supports:
- Construction waste reduction
- Refurbishment and fit-out sustainability
- Measurable environmental impact for ESG reporting
- Circular specifications in both commercial and residential sectors
Designed for Specification and Performance
Diore Terrazzo is manufactured with the demands of specifiers and installers in mind. It is:
- Highly durable, impact- and abrasion-resistant
- Non-porous, hygienic, and easy to clean
- Low VOC, suitable for sensitive indoor environments
- Slip-rated and compliant with commercial safety standards
Whether you’re specifying for a large-scale roll-out or a bespoke residential project, Diore Terrazzo offers material consistency, aesthetic flexibility, and peace of mind.
Let’s Build Sustainably, Beautifully
By choosing Diore Terrazzo, you’re specifying more than a worktop – you’re investing in a long-lasting, low-impact, and visually stunning material that meets the needs of modern architecture and responsible construction.
