Affa Tile Company

If you have ever been stuck in traffic on Poonamallee High Road in Koyambedu, you might have looked over and seen us. Affa Tile Company is located at number 8/1116, right across the road from the Shan Royal Hotel. It is a massive, busy road, so there is always a lot of noise and dust from the vehicles going past. Our shop is full of samples—ceramic, marble, granite, all sorts of things for floors and walls. We have stacks of heavy tile boxes piled up in the back. People usually drop in because they are renovating a house or working on a new building nearby. It is a practical kind of place. We don't have a lot of decorations; the tiles themselves are the only things to look at. Sometimes the showroom gets a bit crowded when a few families come in at once, but we manage. We spend our time helping people count how many boxes they need or lugging heavy samples out to the light so they can see the colors better. Being opposite the Shan Royal Hotel is a good landmark because everyone knows where that is. The days are long and the work is physically demanding, especially when we have to load up a truck in the heat. We just keep at it, keeping the floor swept and the displays updated. It is a straightforward business, and we like the bustle of being on such a major road in Koyambedu.
