îlot Colombo handcrafts cement tiles in Sri Lanka using a traditional manufacturing process. The technique for decorative encaustic tiles was developed in the 1870s in southern France and quickly spread across Europe and around the world. In the 1950s, cheaper industrial porcelain tiles were on the rise and many of the traditional workshops closed down. Now, with the growing interest in authentic and sustainable products, handcrafted cement tiles are experiencing a revival. The production process requires minimal energy and water and because the colors are made from natural pigments and minerals and inlaid into the tile, the finished product is highly durable and resistant to wear and tear. îlot Colombo is committed to environmentally responsible and ethical practices, fair trade working conditions, and living wages. They aim to create quality employment opportunities for local women.
