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
-

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.
To know more ask for the SynthFab Brochure 1.0or

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
Dimensionally stable ensuring thermacoustic
values for lifecycle of building
Readily available - large quantities in short time
AnutoneSynth insulation The iealthy, durable alternative
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
Anutone the walls and ceilings solutions company. Your
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.

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

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.

They say the e-reader and the e-book are revolutionising the way we access and read hardcopy documents. Much in a
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
real book, glance at a doublespread, zoom in on info of interest, go to the back of the brochure or the front in a jiffy.

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!
