First concept-store for eco-friendly clay tiles in Sri Lanka

Rajarata Tiles has launched a concept store for clay tile products in Sri Lanka. Specializing in the production of 100% eco-friendly, natural terracotta/clay roofing/flooring/wall tiles to the local and international market, they offer their clientele a variety of shapes, sizes, colours and textures. The opening of the store was attended by key personnel of Samson Rajata Tile (Pvt) Ltd and DSI Samson Group, the company said in a media release.

The idea behind the concept store was to allow customers to understand the experience offered via the use of Rajarata Tiles. The unique design showcases an array of colours and overall serenity upon entering the store. “One’s home is meant to be carefree and by showcasing a version of this peaceful environment to the customers, the team at Rajarata Tiles hopes that it will add that extra persuasion for customers to invest in their own slice of tranquility,” it said.

Known locally as ‘Sinhala Ulu’, Sri Lanka's rich heritage of clay tile production dates back to ancient times and has evolved over several generations. Today, through the Rajarata Tiles Brand, these clay tiles have embraced modernity and include internationally-recognized tiling styles such as Spanish Clay Tiles, Roman Clay Tiles and many others.

Backed by the DSI Sampson Group, one of Sri Lanka’s largest family-owned conglomerates, Rajarata Tiles sources clay only from the Nachchaduwa Tank, a large reservoir of water located in the ancient city of Anuradhapura that dates back over 2,500 years to the times of great kingdoms. Owing to the desilting process of the Nachchaduwa Tank that helps it to retain water and prevent overflow, Rajarata Tiles is able to efficiently serve the surrounding communities as well as the country while representing its legacy across the world.
