The Future of Walls and Ceilings

01 Nov 2010 Editorial Team

The innovative products and systems offered by Anutone are easy and quick to install, made from sustainable materials and are relevant and suited to the region, the project, the ecosystem.

The building industry faces a multitude of challenges and concerns on sustainable design, misinformation about certified products and systems, complication of compliances, lack of a nationally applicable policy regime and adherence to codes, inadequate exposure to international practices for ecosystem - that have all been its bane. This, despite the industry's strengths of innovation and futuristic approach. It is thus necessary to develop a proper perspective of the global scenario, applicable to India, to build a better, safer, comfortable tomorrow. It is walls and ceilings that make up any built space, apart from flooring. How walls and ceilings of any architectural space are conceived determines the function and purpose of the space.

Pioneering products

Since 2005, Anutone has been successfully interfacing the design community in India and West Asia with innovative products and systems for walls and ceilings that result in spaces synchronised with current international trends. These innovative products and systems aid dry, lightweight construction, are easy and quick to install, made from sustainable materials whose use results in green buildings, and are relevant and suited to the region, the project, the ecosystem.

Our six major product categories deal with all fibre-based and solid-based materials, in 12 surface finishes that can conceivably be used for walls and ceilings. These products include:

1. Soft softfibre-based subtex ceilings and ACT GLD or ACT KLH walls
2. Snazz gypsum-based Belgravia or Plaza ceilings and design panel walls
3. Salon wood-based spots ceilings and slats or sonator walls
4. Serge metal-based astral or lance ceilings and linear walls
5. Synth polyfibre-based stretch ceilings and slim or quietspace walls
6. Ekcel magnesia-based tufbloc drywalls with strand ceilings and soak cord panelling

Complete solutions

These futuristic products boast of all the conventional features of walls and ceilings, conform to current international standards, are safe to use, meet all technical parameters and perform with aplomb the functions for which the product is installed.

These products are available in all possible surface finishes, core materials and design options with the mission critical skill sets of integrating the different product systems in a single space as a design solution. For example, stretched ceiling membrane mating with gypsum ceilings as a non-grid expanse and this combination then syncing with a grid ceiling of wooden tiles. This is turn transits to the wall of fabric-wrapped softfibre panels. The company also offers turnkey solutions from concept and design to installion and validation, to enable the ecosystem realise truly world-class projects. These products will be displayed at the ACETECH show in November 2010 in Mumbai.
