About H&E Smith
H&E Smith has been a specialist tile manufacturer and distributor in the UK since 1926. Initially focusing on the production of refractory glazed fireplace tiles, we later expanded into crafting fine quality, traditionally made English ceramic wall tiles.
Our extensive experience in bespoke ceramic manufacturing has allowed us to collaborate closely with interior designers and specifiers, ensuring we meet the unique needs of each project.
We’ve built a strong reputation supplying specialist ceramics to the London Underground, where reliability, quality, and precision have been crucial in supporting the service’s efficiency and expanding our presence within the transport sector.
Around five years ago, we introduced our highly popular Eco-Glazed Brick Slip range, which has become a go-to choice for both internal and external designs, especially within the hospitality industry. Read more….
