Our Story

Rooted in Tradition, Built for Today

Founded by Donn Kerr, Athangudi Golden Tiles brings the legendary tile-making traditions of Chettinad, India, to the heart of Philadelphia. Every tile we produce is a labor of love — mixed by hand, poured into brass molds, and sun-dried to perfection.

We believe that flooring is more than function; it's art beneath your feet. Our commitment to sustainability means we use only natural minerals, oxide pigments, and locally sourced materials wherever possible.

Artisan Craftsmanship

Every tile is individually handmade — no two are exactly alike.

Sustainable Materials

Natural pigments and eco-friendly processes protect what matters.

Client-First Approach

Your vision drives our design process from start to finish.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our tiles, process, and services.

Athangudi tiles are made using a traditional process involving limestone, sand, natural oxide pigments, and water. The mixture is poured into brass molds and sun-dried for several days, creating tiles with a distinctive matte finish and rich, organic coloring that cannot be replicated by machine-made alternatives.
Our handcrafted tiles are extremely durable and can last for decades with proper care. They are resistant to fading and maintain their color over time. In fact, many original Athangudi tiles in Chettinad mansions are over 100 years old and still look beautiful. We recommend sealing them upon installation for additional protection.
