H&E Smith Ltd Launches in America as H&E Smith Inc.

Bringing Timeless Victorian Tiles and Eco-Glazed Brick Slips to U.S. Architects and Designers

H&E Smith Ltd is synonymous with quality and craftsmanship in the United Kingdom. Now, we are proud to announce our expansion into the American market as H&E Smith Inc. This strategic move marks a significant milestone in our mission. We aim to bring our exquisite range of Period Embossed Victorian tiles and Eco-Glazed Brick Slips to architects and interior designers across the United States.
For over a century, H&E Smith Ltd has led in tile manufacturing. Our products combine historical authenticity with modern-day sustainability. Our Victorian tiles, known for their intricate patterns and vibrant colours, have adorned prestigious UK properties, adding elegance and timelessness. Now, with the launch of H&E Smith Inc., we are excited to introduce these iconic tiles to the U.S. market. This is especially timely, as demand for high-quality, historically-inspired materials continues to rise.

Why Choose H&E Smith Inc.?

At H&E Smith Inc., we are committed to maintaining the high standards that have made us a trusted name in the UK. Our Period Embossed Victorian tiles are crafted using traditional techniques. This ensures each tile faithfully reproduces the originals used in Victorian-era architecture. These tiles are perfect for restoration projects. They also add a unique, historical touch to contemporary designs.

Furthermore, we are offering our Eco-Glazed Brick Slips, a product that marries sustainability with aesthetic appeal. These brick slips are made from recycled materials. They are finished with a glaze that enhances durability and provides a distinctive look. This makes them an excellent choice for both modern and traditional interiors.
