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, a name synonymous with quality and craftsmanship in the United Kingdom, is proud to announce its expansion into the American market under the banner of H&E Smith Inc. This strategic move marks a significant milestone in our mission 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 been at the forefront of tile manufacturing, offering products that combine historical authenticity with modern-day sustainability. Our Victorian tiles, known for their intricate patterns and vibrant colours, have adorned some of the most prestigious properties across the UK, adding a touch of 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, where the demand for high-quality, historically-inspired materials is on the rise.
Why Choose H&E Smith Inc.?
H&E Smith Inc. is committed to maintaining the same high standards that have made us a trusted name in the UK. Our Period Embossed Victorian tiles are crafted using traditional techniques, ensuring that each tile is a faithful reproduction of the originals used in Victorian-era architecture. These tiles are perfect for restoration projects, as well as for adding a unique, historical touch to contemporary designs.
In addition to our Victorian tiles, we are also offering our Eco-Glazed Brick Slips—a product that marries sustainability with aesthetic appeal. These brick slips are made from recycled materials and finished with a glaze that not only enhances their durability but also gives them a distinctive look that can complement both modern and traditional interiors.
