Reproduction tiles & restorations

H&E Smith have a great deal of experience in producing tiles for restoration projects, most notably for the vast and ongoing refurbishment of the London Underground.

Using a combination of cutting-edge technology and more traditional methods, we have the capability to match and recreate tiles, replicating designs, colours and finishes perfectly. We have been involved with several projects overseen by the English Heritage, where exceptional accuracy and quality have been paramount.

Below are some "before and after" examples of reproduction tiles we have created:

Hot off the press: designer tiles for Christian Louboutin Harrods store

Bespoke tiles produced by H&E Smith Ltd for designer Lee Broom are now in-situ at the newly opened Christian Louboutin store in Harrods, London.

The individual tiles, shown below, feature the luxury shoe designer's initials and a pair of his signature stilettos. A die was produced from Broom's design and used to create the tiles at H&E Smith's Stoke-on-Trent factory. The rich Bluebell and Burgundy glazes chosen for the scheme brought the tiles to life.  
 
 

Images of the fully completed installation, plus further information about the project, can be found at the below links:
