The tradition of the clay roofing tile dates back almost 10,000 years, making this the oldest form of roofing in history. Traditionally made from clay or terracotta in this part of the world, roof tiles combine the classic four elements of Nature: Earth, Water, Air and Fire along with human artistry. The clay roof tile manufacturing industry offers a durable, UV and fire resistant product with a life expectancy of nearly 100 years and sometimes longer.
Visiting a clay roof tile factory in a little town in the north-east of Sri Lanka will be a unique experience for your clients, as the industry in Sri Lanka is still labour-oriented with the minimal use of automated machinery. Spending a day with people working in a clay roof tile factory will be a great way of experiencing the lifestyles of the locals.
