Idea Group commissions new factory to manufacture i-Panels
View(s):Idea Group of Companies, that offers revolutionary roofing solutions and interior decorating solutions to Sri Lankans, recently commissioned its newest i-Panel ceiling sheets manufacturing factory at Katana.
The factory will cater to constantly increasing demand for i-Panel and expand services to manufacture i-Panels in more designs and colours. Now consumers will be able to obtain this 100 per cent Sri Lankan product in size 2×2 and in an assortment of over 100 designs to suit their requirements.
i-Panel has many advantages and specialties over usual ceiling sheets and can be installed with ease. Its core competency is the ability to be fixed from both sides. The technical plans of over 100 designs of i-Panels have Patent license. Hence similar designs cannot be obtained from other brands in the marketplace, the company said in a media release.
Under the SLIVILIMA brand, i-Panel and i-Roof and an array of other related products are manufactured. These include green-oriented roofing products and interior decorating solutions that contribute towards preserving rain forests and greenery in the country.
“i-Panels are not made of wood. Yet the product is made to offer Teak, Mahogany and Burutha wooden look. The product does not contain attributes that stimulate cancer. i-Panel is not inflammable and it doesn’t need painting from time to time. Water and insects cannot harm the product. Since it is light in weight, fixing doesn’t require much labour. Thus it saves costs of fixing,” it said.
Idea Group is a fully owned Sri Lankan company and has over 400 SIVILIMA showrooms throughout the island.
