Tile
Source Inc. was founded in 1997 by descendants of 18th century
potters from Staffordshire England. Our family manufactured
pottery and tile in the United Kingdom for more than 100 years.
We have over 30 years experience in the United States tile industry.
2nd revival of encaustic tile production in UK
From an enquiry received in 1974 for the retiling of the floor
of the Arts & Industries Building at the Smithsonian Institution
in Washington DC, a small plant was started to produce Encaustic
& Geometric tiles almost for the first time in the 20th
century.
Commissions received in the 1980's and 90's included the retiling
of large parts of the US Capitol, the Palace of Westminster
, the Pennsylvania Academy for the Fine Arts, the Parliament
Building in Quebec City and many others including the Central
Synagogue in NYC.
Since 1997, Tile Source has supplied Encaustic and Geometric
tiles for the Tweed Court House in New York City, many Court
Houses in Texas and other parts of the USA, the State Capitol
in Albany New York, the Saratoga Memorial, New York and many
private homes. We have also supplied Victorian floor and wall
tiles to many fine commercial and residential projects across
North America.
