Located at No. 280 A, Galle Road, the new showroom is positioned as a contemporary design destination for homeowners, architects, interior designers, developers and other industry professionals seeking inspiration and quality solutions for residential and commercial spaces.
The opening marks another milestone in the brand’s nationwide expansion and reflects its continued focus on making innovative, design-focused products more accessible to customers.

The opening ceremony was attended by Chief Guest Architect Jayanath Silva, Priyantha Talwatte, Managing Director of LANKATILES, senior management representatives and invited guests from Sri Lanka’s architecture, construction, design and business sectors.
Commenting on the opening, Priyantha Talwatte said Mount Lavinia’s unique identity had influenced the concept and positioning of the new showroom.
“Mount Lavinia has a unique identity where heritage, coastal living and contemporary urban lifestyles come together. Our 61st showroom has been created to respond to that character by giving homeowners, architects and designers greater access to collections that can transform both indoor and outdoor spaces,” he said.
Talwatte added that as the company continues to grow, its focus remains on bringing design, innovation and trusted quality closer to customers while enabling them to create spaces that reflect their individual lifestyles and preferences.
Positioned along Galle Road, the Mount Lavinia showroom is expected to serve customers looking to combine the convenience of urban living with the warmth, openness and visual appeal associated with coastal environments. Its location also provides access to a diverse customer base across residential, hospitality, commercial and property development segments.
The showroom features an extensive selection of LANKATILES wall and floor tiles, offering a variety of styles, formats, finishes and applications. The product range includes contemporary collections designed to support modern interior concepts, as well as premium Double Fired wall tiles that provide additional options for customers seeking distinctive wall treatments.
Among the featured collections are Majestica large-format tiles, which offer a contemporary approach to spacious and visually seamless surfaces, and Mosaics by LANKATILES, providing design flexibility for feature areas, decorative applications and customised interior concepts.
The showroom also presents Cool Rooftop Tile®, the brand’s latest innovation, further highlighting its emphasis on product development and solutions that respond to evolving customer needs. The inclusion of products for both indoor and outdoor applications allows visitors to explore coordinated design possibilities across different areas of a property.
Architect Jayanath Silva, speaking at the opening, noted the relationship between Mount Lavinia’s architectural identity, lifestyle and coastal setting.
“Mount Lavinia has always had a distinctive relationship with architecture, lifestyle and the sea. The arrival of a showroom offering such a broad range of contemporary surfaces creates exciting possibilities for homeowners and design professionals to draw inspiration from this setting and interpret coastal living in new ways,” he said.
He added that LANKATILES’ combination of design, product innovation and versatility made the showroom a valuable addition to the area.
For customers, the new location offers an opportunity to examine products in person, compare surface options and explore ideas for a range of projects before making purchasing decisions. For architects, designers and developers, the showroom provides a dedicated setting to review materials and identify solutions suited to specific aesthetic and functional requirements.
The opening of the Mount Lavinia showroom further strengthens LANKATILES’ nationwide retail network and reinforces the company’s long-standing emphasis on quality, innovation and design excellence. It also adds to the brand’s five-decade journey of helping customers create spaces that combine practical performance with distinctive visual character.
