Our Story - Discover Inglenook Tiles

We created Inglenook Brick Tile out of a passion for the timeless elegance and warmth that brick can bring to a home. Discover why our customers believe that they have bought the very best for their home or business.
This is about small business entrepreneurship, and is our story about Inglenook Tile Design, and how we began. It might sound familiar to you.

​We knew that we wanted brick in our own home. We wanted it for its warmth, for its timelessness, for its place in history. Our renovated home, an historic woolen mill, however, neither had support under its sub-floor to hold up the weight of full-sized brick, nor the space to lower the floor and accommodate brick's height. Instead, we searched for a brick veneer, one with the durability of full-sized brick and with an authentic, historic look. After years of fruitless searching, we finally decided to design the veneer we wanted ourselves. And, so we began making brick tiles in our foyer, hand-pounding stoneware clay into plaster molds that we made of antique bricks. The resulting brick tile was at once beautiful, convincingly authentic and ruggedly strong. Our commitment to handmade and historic, yet timeless, building materials continues today with each tile we create. 
Each brick tile is unique and handcrafted. With the help of workers at a sheltered workshop run by an agency for the blind and vision-impaired, we make every tile by hand using molds of antique bricks and pressing natural materials, like wood ash, onto the tiles. The tiles then dry on racks and fire in one of our kilns to create a vitrified, durable product. 

Inglenook Brick Tile, simply put, is the best, most authentic, durable and customizable thin brick tile on the market today.  We will work with you to make sure you achieve the look you've been imagining for your home or business.

Discover what sets us apart:


  • Simple Installation: The resulting brick tiles are thin (either about 3/8" or 1/2" thick) and much lighter than full-sized brick, allowing you to avoid costly changes to the load-bearing strength or level of the sub-floor for flooring or the addition of footers or other structural adjustments to support the weight of brick for your walls, chimneys or ceilings. 

  • Durability: Inglenook brick tiles are designed from a high-fired clay body, making the tiles strong and their color steadfast. Successfully tested by the Tile Council of America for strength and resistance to freeze-thaw cycles, Inglenook brick tiles will stand the test of time in your home or outside, leaving your touch for decades to come. Thin brick products made from sliced brick, by comparison, are brittle and porous - ill-suited to stand up to the wear and tear of a busy family or business.
  • Authenticity: Most importantly, our hand-formed brick tiles are indistinguishable from antique brick. As one customer describes, Inglenook brick tile,"at 20 feet and at 2 feet...is the real stuff by sight and touch." Our molds made from old, weathered bricks, our use of natural clays and powders, and the fact that we make these tile by hand means that every tile is unique. Your floor or wall will look like it has aged in place for many years.  

We needed a thin brick floor that would both endure the test of time and convince that it was full-sized brick ---the same as your home deserves. We pledge to bring our handmade, durable tiles to you with the same attention to quality and authenticity that we demanded for our own home.
