Colombo builds apartment towers and mixed-use projects along Galle Road and in the Port City, villas spread through the suburbs, and the south and east coasts keep adding hotels and boutique villas for a tourism trade that is back on its feet. Kandy, Galle and Negombo build homes and guesthouses, and temples and kovils across the island use devotional and pattern tiles.
Sri Lanka is one of the countries Axoli Tiles already ships to. Importers in Colombo stock our designs, contractors and hotel projects order direct, and the sailing from Mundra is four to seven days.
Designs that suit Sri Lanka
Glazed ceramic for a climate that is humid all year; terracotta and brick looks that suit the island's clay-tile roofs and Geoffrey Bawa tradition for verandas and courtyards; Moroccan and encaustic patterns for hotels, cafes and bathrooms; devotional designs for temples and home shrines; pool tiles for villas; and glossy whites for kitchens.
