    In this journey called Anutone, we may come a long way but have

    only just started.

    In the 1990s, we pioneered the resurrection of the woodwool board

    industry that was being buried by its very practitioners. We did this

    by manufacturing world-class boards with a host of variants to

    meet customer needs. Its continued use in modern multiplexes in

    metro cities by top operators is testimony.

    In this decade, we have been pioneering an acoustics revolution

    benefiting the entire ecosystem. We are doing this by injecting

    scientific temper to the practice of architectural acoustics right

    from design, supply, install to site testing. Growing awareness of

    the subject and acousticians on board project teams is testimony.

    For the coming decade, 2010s, we are pioneering the walls and

    ceiling industry. It already exists. So how does one pioneer? Products,

    systems and services related to walls and ceilings are still in their

    nascent stage with current international trends at least a decade away.

    This is what needs to be bridged, albeit the Asian way, the glocal

    approach that Anutone is pioneering.

    Since 2007, Anutone has been introducing a slew of products with

    view to realising our aim to transform the wall and ceiling industry

    in the coming decade. There is something exciting happening at

    Anutone on a daily basis and it became necessary to share new

    knowledge with the ecosystem on the many changes, innovations and

    trend-setting concepts that bring a constantly evolving portfolio ofproducts, systems and services to the market and the industry.

    Dear Patron,

    The e-design newsletter

    and a journey called Anutone

  • 8/13/2019 Anutone (6)

    3/643edesign52

    Hence the idea of e-design - a weekly newsletter from Anutone, every

    Tuesday since April 2009, that provides one interesting fact, facet or

    feature about Anutone walls and ceilings. Anutones e-design has evoked

    an overwhelming response such that we are encouraged to publish a

    collection of one year of 52 editions for the benefit of architects,

    consultants, contractors and customers.

    While we are very bullish on our recent walls and ceilings foray we

    have not forgotten our roots. e-board is our fortnightly newsletter

    every alternate Friday that highlights our original business -

    woodwool boards. And for acoustics and noise we will commence e-

    coustic and e-noise every fortnight on alternate Fridays that

    highlights our products for this purpose.

    Thank you for your attention and patronage. We look forward to

    enjoying the same for the coming decade. We say, Challenge

    Yourself, since exciting times are ahead that will surely makeyou feel good!

    Yours truly,

    Team Anutone

    Anutone presents yet another fabulous choice in fabric

    walls with modular panels for better, quieter interiors.

    Synthfab panels boast a core of SynthHD, Anutones

    popular brand of polyester-based infill, and a smartwrap of SpunFR, an inherently flame-retardant fabric.

    The panel core is the most important feature. SynthHD

    is thermally-bonded (no resins), chemically-free

    polyester fibres fused under pressure to form a high-

    density wadding that is rigid with sharp lines. More, it is

    EHS-compliant as it is VOC-free and does not itch,

    irritate or lower the IAQ.

    Anutone Synthfab is available in standard sizes of 600

    /1200 x 600 / 1200 and a thickness of 25mm for

    adhesive install or 30mm for Z-clip install.

    AnutoneSynth is thermally-bonded, chemically-free

    polyfibre blankets used for thermacoustic linings in

    ceilings, panellings, partitions and floor cavities. The

    product is white in colour and pleasant to look, touch

    and feel. It does not itch or irritate, making it very safe

    and healthy to use.

    AnutoneSynth is dimensionally stable ensuring

    consistent thermacoustic values for the lifecyle of the

    building. It is made from recycled polyfibres and is

    recyclable again. That it also conserves energy in

    buildings lowering airconditioning and heating costs,

    it is very, very green!

    AnutoneSynth replaces traditional insulation that tends

    to itch and irritate. Traditional insulation is resin-

    bonded and emits odour. It lumps down over time

    losing its insulation value. Thus, the initial higher

    investment in AnutoneSynth fetches matching returns

    over time!

    Rolls of 600mm width - easy handling

    Non-toxic, non-allergic, non-irritant, odourless

    No protective measures required for installation

    HIGHLIGHTS

    Polyfibre as infill in quilts, outdoor clothing etc. is proven in the toughest of conditions like polar ice caps for

    decades keeping cold out and warmth in. Anutone Interiors brings the same goodness of polyfibre to

    buildings with not just thermal but also acoustic comfort.

    Use of eco-friendly materials is the mantra for sustainable development. AnutoneSynth does for insulation what

    CFC-free gasses have done for refrigeration. No impact on environment, healthy and sustainable.

    A Green Revolution, of a different kind, beckons you, from Anutone. It is exciting as also easy

    - given the 3Rs approach Anutone takes to your interior finish solutions.

    Optimise the use of interior surfacing materials by opting for Anutone, and bolster the green building movement.Yes, a Green Revolution beckons you.

    Anutone is selflessly committed to the green

    building movement even if it means reduced

    business from projects! In a bid to reducethe use of products and yet improve the

    ambience, Anutone has developed concepts

    like Carnival Floats and Celebration Clouds

    for ceilings. For walls, there are AnutoneSoft

    and AnutoneSynthfab that can be hung at

    strategic locations. All these obviate the need

    for continuous ceilings and wall coverings.

    In product design, Anutone has innovated

    with AutoAir in AnutoneSoak panels that

    reduce use of raw material per panel, yet

    achieve better performance.

    Anutone wall and ceiling solutions are

    from dry construction products and very

    modular - meaning they can be easily

    assembled, dismantled and reused.

    Again this could be termed as a self-

    goal since Anutone could very well lose

    repeat business! But it does not matter

    in the larger interest of a greener world!

    Many of Anutone products are made

    from reused products. AnutoneSeptum

    is made from pre-used wood-cement

    particles (see flowchart on right);

    AnutoneSoft is made from pre-used

    glass bottles; AnutoneSynthfab from pre-

    used polyester-based products etc.

    Most of Anutone products can be

    recycled. Products like AnutoneSmooth

    are recycled at Anutones Bangalore

    plant to be made into AnutoneSeptum

    (see flowchart below). Similarly

    AnutoneSnazz can be recycled as a filler

    material in plasterboards; AnutoneSynth

    can go back to the polyfibre industry etc.

    Subtex, introduced by Anutone a year ago, has been a huge success story. A smooth-surfaced,

    lightweight tile, with none of the usual pinhole or worm-like patterns, ensures soothing aesthetics and

    high light reflectance. Added advantages like sound absorption and humidity resistance enhance product

    appeal. Here is how AnutoneSubtex, for modular white ceilings, benefits the ecosystem.

    Consultants / Architects

    AnutoneSubtex offers the designer a plethora of options

    surface renders, large-format 1200x1200mm, concealed

    edge etc. Morever, Anutone offers complete system

    solutions with AnutoneSkelet framework Infinity or

    Screenline perimeter trims for Carnival Floats, transitions

    and bulkheads, HVAC pockets at glazing mullions etc.

    Contractors / Project Managers

    All components of the system are pre-finished and lab-

    certified which means failsafe install, near-zero snag list

    and quick project turnaround. Once the framework is

    installed, AnutoneSubtex can be placed in grid even after

    carpeting and furniture is in place, allowing flexible

    sequencing, a boon to sites on tight timelines.

    Clients / End-users

    The serenity of unbroken white surfaces, the crispness of

    neat joint lines, the sublimity of diffused lighting, the cocooning

    comfort of quietitude - all this and more ensures less strain

    and stress, a feel-good factor that translates to higher output,thus providing the business with a competitive edge!

    Real Metric

    Architects have been wistful of all things being metric in

    buildings so as to keep things simple, very simple. They

    conceptualize buildings on 1x1m gridlines and are

    successful in getting it built that way including external

    glazing and cladding, internal partitions etc. But when it

    comes to ceilings they come a cropper.

    Ceilings earlier came in 2x2 size which when the worldturned metric was 610x610mm. Manufacturers fine-

    tuned this to 600x600mm or in multiples like

    1200x1200mm but this never matched the

    1000x1000mm gridlines of everything else in the

    building.

    Architects can now rejoice! Anutone introduces true

    metric ceilings from the Serge series:

    Widths (mm) - 500, 1000

    Lengths (mm) - 1000, 2000, 3000

    Ceiling gridlines can match building gridlines for perfect

    harmony. What you conceptualise is what you get!

    Whats more, here is the icing on the cake! Anutone

    can supply wall panels too in true metric from its Soft

    or Stretch series:

    Widths (mm) - 1000, 1500

    Lengths (mm) - 1000, 2000, 3000

    true friend with true metric walls and ceilings that match

    Anutone @ GBC

    The 7th edition of the Green Building Congress 2009

    gave a call for transforming India into a nation where

    'Green' becomes a way of life.

    The IGBC Vision (India after 75 years of Independence)

    is to have 100,000 green buildings with a footprint of 5

    billion ft2 by 2023. Dr Prem C. Jain, Chairman said, "13

    years from now when independent India turns 75, we want

    it to become a trendsetter to the rest of the world in green

    buildings. And I am sure we can achieve this goal.

    The larger vision of IGBC is to deliver green buildings at

    a cost lower than that of conventional buildings. Anutone

    is right there in the middle with its Gold Support to the

    show. Anutone is not only a member of IGBC but also

    ISO 14001 2004 certified.

    The tradeshow had over 100 stalls exhibiting green

    products and services. The Anutone stall showcased white

    ceiling solutions that are green - Subtex Nubby (texture),

    Serge Lay-in (metal) and Belgravia Pixel (plaster) in differentgrid and perimeter. As a contrast, Anutone also showcased

    Slats Haya (wood) for walls. The Anutone stall received

    Acoustic Gypsum CeilingsPlaza for grid & Designpanel 900 for span

    Acoustic gypsum has virtually invisible microperf and

    is introduced to the India market by Anutone with

    Danogips of Denmark. It can no longer be perceived

    as an expensive ceiling solution - grid or span - as

    Anutone has introduced two value products that ensure

    considerable cost savings with no reduction in

    functional performance!

    Plaza Pixel is an economical alternative to

    Belgravia Pixel for 2x2 grid ceilings

    Plaza Pixel ceiling is best highlighted by using a narrow

    grid system like Skelet O15 or T15. Plaza Pixel is fast

    and easy to mount as all edges remain concealed above

    the grid. Plaza Pixel is also used as a margin panel for

    Belgravia Pixel. Plaza Pixel being 40% less expensive

    than Belgravia Pixel is a boon for value projects.

    Designpanel 900 is an economical alternative

    to Designpanel 1200 for full-span ceilings

    Designpanel Pixel results in full-span, seamless ceilings.

    Since the 1200 model is bulky to handle and perceived

    as expensive, Anutone introduces the 900 model in a

    very easy 900x2700mm size that is popular across the

    world and is 20% less expensive.

    Readily available!

    Both Plaza Pixel and Designpanel 900 Pixel are readilyavailable with Anutone for offices, hotels, hospitals, malls.

    This mammoth project, of personal pride to the King,achieved LEED Platinum status. The architects are HOK

    USA and the main ceilings contractor Olayan Group.

    Anutone in association with Owens Corning USA worked

    closely with the project ecosystem in ensuring Stretch SLS

    was completed in record time overcoming numerous

    challenges common to projects of such size and prestige.

    Stretch SLS is a complete ceiling system, clean and green,

    Architectural spaces are there to be designed. The ideas belong to the designer. Anutone can enable

    designers capture ideas and turn them from concept to reality. Think islands in the sky and Carnival

    Floats is the reality. Yes! Whether it is for initial design or an afterthought, Carnival Floats with Skelet

    Infinity is for all seasons. Now all the more with a special feature to assemble on floor and hoist up!

    Creating light coves, ceiling clouds, floating islands,

    projected transitions and design accents with modular

    tiles suspended on grid or a seamless finish with

    gypsum is easy and simple thanks to the innovation of

    Carnival Floats. Functionally it can be superior too as

    Carnival Floats provide greater sound absorption

    than a continuous ceiling of the same surface area

    because the soundwaves are absorbed from both

    surfaces of the float the exposed bottom surfaceand the non-exposed top surface.

    Very high aesthetic value and visual appeal

    Superior acoustical performance both absorbsound surfaces

    Flexibility in layout and sizing of ceiling floats

    Multi level imparts the illusion of overheadmovement

    Integration of multi products & large format panels

    FEATURES

    And now here comes the icing on the cake!Because of the Primary Carrier as a special feature, Carnival Floats can be assembled on the floor and thenhoisted up thus making it very easy and very quick for the contractor to install ceiling islands at project sites!

    The unique random twirls of fibre construction

    and texturised surface finish sets woodwool

    boards apart in choice of ceilings forarchitectural spaces. A natural breathing

    panel with the timeless appeal of fine fibres

    sharply contrasts the current fad of smooth

    surfaces of glazing, drywalls and stone floors.

    Know the history of woodwool boards on

    page 2 of Strand TDS.

    Yes, at Anutone, we still make woodwool

    boards! After all, it started our journey in 1966!

    In the last three years Anutone has unleashed

    a vast array of wall and ceiling products; so

    you could be excused in forgetting woodwool

    boards! We not only remember but have

    continuously improved the woodwool board

    to meet the challenges of changing building

    interiors and functional requirements! Know

    the Fabulous Features of Anutones Strand on

    page 3 of Strand TDS.

    The 2010 collection is reorganized into four

    distinct product lines based on new fibre

    dimensions and matrix technologies. Refer

    the table.

    Ceiling solutions that are timelessNatural finish with woodwool boards now improved!

    Strand SS Medium Magnesite Budget BIS 600x1200

    Strandec Wide Grey Structural Euro 600x1200/2400

    Strand was formerly known as Natural SoundSmooth or NSS, SoundSmooth, Smooth.

    Due to legacy the Strand brand will transit through 2010/2011 and co-exist with the previous

    names.

    Further, due to the wide array of other wall and ceiling products now

    available from Anutone, the previous brand, Smooth, for plain

    woodwool board is a misnomer to a newbie as Anutone expands intonew markets around the world. Smooth would be more appropriate

    to Serge Aquila or Belgravia Regula or even Sonator Pearl (all unperf

    panels from Anutone)! So Smooth is now Strand.

    similar fashion as the invention of the printing press ushered in the advent of books and reading for the first time to

    humanity- revolutionising the way we stored and accessed knowledge. We firmly believe in keeping pace with technology!

    So, all current Anutone brochures are now available online to be accessed by anybody and everybody, anywhere and everywhere,

    subject to the Internet being available. What is more, the e-brochures are very reader friendly. Turn the pages as you would of a

    Its Anutone Walls & Ceilings now

    The new year 2010 and the new decade 2010-2019 has

    started with many promises, building on the fulfilling

    experiences of 2009 and the last decade. Its been an

    enduring journey at Anutone which has been iconising

    interior experiences for discerning space users with a new

    genre of walls and ceilings - products, systems and services.

    The widespread excitement brought in with this new genreof feel-good experiences has reckoned Anutones Interiors

    division as primarily a walls and ceilings enterprise.

    Keeping in line with this excitement, Anutone Interiors is,

    henceforth, called Anutone Walls & Ceilings (a division of

    Anutone Acoustics Limited). A trusted commitment to

    serve its patrons with its new forte: walls and ceilings!

    Get ready for the new year and the new decade for a

    whole set of new experiences from Anutone!

    Anutones

    Its e-design now

    The weekly edutaining e-news from Anutone has

    generated overwhelming response across the business

    value chain. It is time for us to brand the Anutone e-

    newsletters and what better name than e-design! Our

    Tuesday e-news has become an online encyclopaedia

    of space design nuances for the built environment

    especially walls and ceilings for commercial interiors.

    Valuing the experience and the excitement it has

    generated, Anutones e-newsletters will, henceforth, be

    called e-design.

    Anutone thus lives up to the expectations of its patron

    community for designing world-class architectural

    experiences. Hence e-design. Every Tuesday, as before,

    but with greater focus on design and build of walls and

    ceilings for commercial interiors.

    Sastau, Tikau, Bikau the Marwari maximLow-cost, long-life, saleable the Anutone maxim

    The popular Marwari maxim and that of successful business communities across the world has been the

    same. It is time tested and proven. Anutone believes in this, and endows its products with similar attributes.

    Consider Subtex Ceilings. For the best performance in white grid

    ceilings these soft-fibre products are low-cost with a long life cycle,

    and can be easily re-used.

    Or consider Serge Ceilings. Being metal based, they offer considerable

    resale value, and are durable for rugged environments with costs linked

    to the London Metal Exchange!

    Or even Belgravia Ceilings. Made from very high-quality gypsum, this

    European product brings enduring values of low lifecycle cost and long

    installed life. More, it is relocatable or recyclable.

    And what about Strand Ceilings? 25 years and counting at many installs!

    This natural, low-cost product lasts generations, and can be easily

    relocated. Anutone has a robust recycling plan.

    Microperfs & megapanels yeh kya hai?When MP3 is not music and 1 is more than 12!

    MicroperfsMicroperfs is the new art of minutely perforating solids

    like metals, woods and plasters. And at 3mm, it is as

    closest as you get to perforating 12mm thick fibreboards

    and plasterboards.

    MP3 is the newacronym for Micro Perforated 3mm on

    Salon Spotswood ceilings. With a rich wood grain finish

    and microperfs that render them almost invisible from

    a distance, such ceilings arouse visual excitement with

    no ugly holes marring the show. Welcome to the new

    aesthetic!

    Check out our other microperfs. Pixel3x3mm square

    perfs in Designpanel, Belgravia and Plazafor gypsum-

    based ceilings and Auriga0.7mm perfs for Sergemetal

    ceilngs rendering them almost solid. Add to the new

    aesthetic!

    MegapanelsMegapanels from Anutone are giant-size panels, and

    at 1.2x3.6m (4x12) they are as large as it gets.

    So, instead of 12 tiles of standard size 600x600mm

    (2x2) you install 1 megapanel 4.32m2in one go! Less

    seamlines, less work, faster install, lower overall costs.

    Available in ACT GLD, ACT KLHand Subtle Texture

    series with Skelet Z-bar mounting. Size does matter

    1 is more than 12 - the new arithmetic!!

    Save life, prevent fire, use AnutoneAll products are fire-rated to perform in an emergency

    People killed while trying to escape

    from fire in a multilevel building.

    People hospitalised due to smoke

    ingestion while escaping from a

    multiplex on fire. These have been

    recent headlines, unfortunate and

    unnecessary.

    Unnecessary because if walls and

    ceilings systems carried the proper

    fire-rating it would have retarded flame

    spread and provided enough time for

    people to escape or arrive to help. Of

    course, there are other factors too like

    furnishings and flooring. But walls and

    ceilings play a major roll as electrical

    wiring is concealed behind these, and

    short circuiting is almost always the

    cause for fire in buildings.

    Most project teams look at fire rating of

    the product only while what is needed

    REACTION TO FIRE

    Flaming - ISO 1182

    Ignitability - BS 476 Part 5

    Fire propagation - BS 476 Part 6

    Surface spread - BS 476 Part 7

    Smoke density - ASTM E662

    is a holistic approach and a check on

    the fire rating of the system. Often the

    product is fire-rated but to cut costs, the

    supporting suspension is local or not

    fire-rated ,and as a result the ceiling

    installed does not perform in case of

    fire. It is another matter that the product

    though specified as FR is substitutedin the last moment in favour of non-FR

    due to various considerations.

    A case in point is one of our

    most popular products, Slats.

    The FR grade can be more

    expensive by 25% and so it

    may be specified but in the last

    minute at the project execution

    stage non-FR is favoured. The

    risk is not to the project team

    but the space users! Hence it

    is necessary to sensitise the

    ecosystem to adopt safe fire

    and life safety practices in the

    selection and installation of

    wall and ceiling systems. Not

    just the product but the system!
