Discovery international which started as a small company in 1996 has managed to hedge its way into a unique market for awnings, canopies and tent, by continuously maintaining high standards.

The company which initially began promoting awnings and canopies snagged the exclusive dealership rights to Brella Australia and later furthered its range with the introduction of marquees to the Sri Lankan market for the first time in the country.

The proceeding years saw Discovery International grow to new heights by gaining distribution and dealer rights for companies such as Sunbrella (USA), Tucci (USA). Roche (France), Somfy (France), Roche (France) and Ferrari (France) among others, as well as increase its range of products to include custom made outdoor cushions with its supplies to high end resorts as well as exports.

Interest in the company has boomed thanks to the recommendation of architects, individuals and corporate customers. With time, the company has acquired a variety of discerning clientele including Hilton Colombo, Waters Edge, Blue Waters, Barista, Dialog GSM, Singhalese Sports Club and the British High Commission among others. The company not only caters to hotels and cafés but also to offices and households.

Awnings have a number of benefits for those looking to protect their homes and offices from harsh, direct sunlight which causes both the interior and exterior of a building to fade. It also protects the buildings from exposure to harmful UV rays. A problem that affects tropical countries like Sri Lanka is the durability of canopies and awnings. Rain and dust can cause significant damage over time with fungus and rot developing during the rainy season and fading during the sunny months.

Discovery International uses materials that are of highest standard with quality of the products maintained every step of the way.  The awnings, canopies and roller blinds are manufactured using the world’s best marine fabrics from Sunbrella (USA) and architectural materials from Ferrari (France) which are water proof, light weight, rot proof, UV resistant and most importantly, easy to maintain. The company also creates custom made products that are made according to the client’s specifications.
