Dubai and Abu Dhabi build villas by the thousand, towers by the hundred, and hotels, restaurants and cafes that redecorate every few years. The United Arab Emirates buys more Indian tiles than almost any country, and its interior designers, many of them from India, Europe and Lebanon, specify by look: a stone cladding for a villa in Jumeirah, a Moroccan pattern for a cafe in Alserkal, a marble look for a lobby.
The UAE is one of the countries Axoli Tiles already ships to. Importers and building-material traders in Dubai and Sharjah stock our designs; contractors and design studios order for projects; and the route is short, three to five days from Mundra to Jebel Ali.
Designs that suit the UAE
The Gulf wants marble looks that read as luxury, stone cladding for villa facades and garden walls that take 45-degree summers, Moroccan and geometric patterns for the cafe and restaurant trade, glossy whites for kitchens, and pool tiles for villas and hotels. All of it in a glazed ceramic that handles the humid coast of Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
