H&E Smith

At H & E Smith we are frequently asked to supply free tile samples for the purpose of helping architects and specifiers choose the tiles they require for specific projects. We have significantly expanded our range of porcelain tiles to help meet individual project needs. By getting a feel for the style, colour and texture of particular tiles it can often help inform a design decision. We now have a purpose built tile sample showroom to help with all your design requirements.

Our Eco Glazed Brick Slip range is produced from recycled Welsh slate dust which is fired to form a 215x65x15mm brickslip, these ceramic tiles are then glazed and re fired to produce a durable and highly decorative product for external and internal applications. H&E Smith have been manufacturing our premium quality fireplace ceramic tiles for generations. In 2005, in response to the demand we continued to receive for these products, we decided to set up a dedicated e-commerce website to facilitate quick and easy ordering of fireplace tiles and related products and the FireTile website was launched.

Period Embossed Victorian Tiles - Our range of modern ceramic wall tiles offers a new choice of colours incorporating a series of elegant cornices and mouldings. This range, evoking classic 19th Century designs is complemented by a functional and smart selection of solid glazed ceramic corner fittings to match the field tiles. PLEASE NOTE: We don't recommend Victorian type glazes in areas where prolonged water contact occurs (please see our technical specification details) but if our tiles are fixed in this type of situation then we recommend they are treated with a silicon sealant solution prior to dispatch (available at additional cost).
