The corridors around the atrium have Designpanel Pixelmicroperf in combination with Tufbloc ceilings in spanformat for a true seamless finish. Areas that need plenumaccess, for service equipment located around thecolumns, sport the matching Belgravia Pixel microperfplaster ceiling in grid format with Skelet U15.
Atrium
The atrium roof features Wave KLH baffles suspendedvertically. This allows the skylight to come right throughand yet provide a colourful ambience to the atrium void.The baffles can be draped with corporate branding foradditional revenue generation.
Walking around the mall space in clockwise fashion fromthe left of the entrance we first encounter some shops.
Shops
Though the interiors of shops are usually done by thetenants where the developer is expected to provide warmshell, Subtex texture ceilings in grid format are a greatdraw. In standard, large, plank and float formats Subtexceilings offer a smooth, white surface finish which providesserene, sublime looks and act as a light diffuser whenup-luminaires are focussed on it.
Food Court
Serge metal ceilings are the right choice for the F&Bareas due to the hygiene factor. Serge ceilings fulfilcleanroom conditions for food serving; are easy toclean and maintain; are rugged and durable forlonglasting use in such an environment. Serge Aquilaare unperf metal and Serge Auriga are microperfmetal ceilings. Kitchens are better served with thecleaner Matvin Stella vinyl ceilings in grid format.For the sit-out area for F&B, Spots MP3 wood ceilingsare a good contrast.

Lounge Bar
The lounge bar and nightclub features a primary ceiling ofSeptum or MAT BSB which keeps the noise and vibrationwithin the space and a secondary ceiling of Stretch SLSEbony the black surface of which provides the darkbackground for discoheque lights as well as absorptionfor the high-decibel noise.
Utilities
The washrooms and mechanical rooms that include theairconditioning plant feature the every popular Serge Lay-in metal ceilings for easy access and durability.
Multiplex Cinema
The interiors of cinema are usually done by the operator butwhere the builder is expected to provide a warm shell on wetlease, Subtex Ebony black texture ceilings on Skelet T15Ebony in grid format with a perimeter of Slate Ebony are agreat draw. Towards the screen side to prevent any reflectionof screenlight on the t-grid and to offer a uniform black surface,Stretch SLS Ebony works just great! It is most matte surfaceever for near-100% light absorption.
The boxoffice needs a low-cost functional ceiling and SisoliSafari mineral fibre tiles on Skelet T15 are best suited.

Applications Guide 25
Entrance
The entrance is the first impression for the student, theparent and the teacher. It sets the tone for the experienceto come and is a combination of Serge Platz ACP andSerge Platz AHP in large-format span-type metal ceiling.
Admin
To the left and right of the entrance are the admin roomswhich sport Belgravia Pixel on Skelet Omni in gridformat. The principal’s room exudes warmth andimmediately puts nervous visitors at ease with SalonSpots MP3 microperf wood ceilings. On the opposite sidethe Record room is well served with Strand natural ceilings.
Atrium/Assembly
Atrium cum assembly area has hard reflective surfacesthat are so easy to maintain but results in a cacophonywhen energetic students get noisy. Soft Wave KLH hangingbaffles is the answer. In bright colours the Wave bafflesbrighten up the space, allow skylighting through for daylightviews to all spaces including classrooms and absorb noise.
Atrium Corridors
The atrium corridors need a smooth, seamless, unclutteredlook. A combination of Designpanel Pixel microperfgypsum and Tufbloc does the trick. If plenum access isdesired then Belgravia Pixel and Belgravia Regulamatches the seamless gypsum. We now walk around theschool premises in clockwise fashion.
Classrooms
The classroom need high-hygiene, naturally-breathingceilings and nothing fits the bill better than MatSolo naturalceilings in Skelet Uno.
Staffroom
Teachers need a serene, sublime ceiling that keepsthem relaxed. Also of help would be high light reflectanceand here it is Subtex Nubby in Skelet Trelis that fulfilsthe needs.
Special Rooms
Art and craft activities have special needs. The MusicRoom needs sounds emanating from instruments to bepreserved and not absorbed. Enriching the sound are ScatPyramidal diffusers in a 3D format that evokes theemotion. The Dance Room needs dynamism and thefeeling of more space. While mirrors do the trick on thewalls, for the ceiling an open plenum with Carnival Floatshelps. Subtex Pebble texture ceiling with Skelet Trelisin the Carnival Floats works best.
The Art Room is a creative space and needs a matchingcreative ceiling. What better than Shapes ST, a discretetype ceiling in a cloud format.
Washrooms on either side for girls and boys have thevery functional, very rugged Serge Astral Aquila. Narrowpassageways have the Serge Planx. A widespan singlepanel with access, exactly what corridors need! Then wecome to the central core of the building.

Library & Labs
The library is where scholars retire for solitude andquietitude! For serious reading that requires adequatediffused lighting and reveberation-free environment,deliverance comes from Stretch SLS fabric ceilings whichis span type and provides a seamless, plaster look.
On the contrary the labs require a functional ceiling thatis rugged, cleanroom compliant and not affected by steamor chemical fumes. Such a rare combination of featuresis endowed in Matvin Shingle vinyl ceilings.
Returning to our clockwise tour we encounter a numberof multidiscipline activity spaces.
Mechanical Rooms
All rooms that house mechanical equipment like AHUs,gensets, pumps etc need a durable surface that can takeabuse yet reflect light and absorb high-decibel noise. Itcannot get better than Serge Astral Nebula in grid formatwith access to the plenum for servicing etc.
Dispensary & Canteen
The dispensary features the utility of Serge Astral Aquilawhereas the attached dormitory has the Strand natural ceilings.
Canteens can get very noisy yet need to impart a feelingof voluminous space. Options that work well are StrandEbony natural ceilings against the roof slab as a primaryceiling and a secondary ceiling of Serge Cubix open-cell metal ceiling. Downlights are installed between theStrand Ebony and the Serge Cubix.
Auditorium
The auditorium usually is the pride of any school. It is aspace of focal activity where the entire school comestogether on special occasions. Though many options are
possible from Anutone, the current international trend isto go for Slats wood ceilings in a span format. Theadvantage of Slats is that it offers many variants inmelamine and veneer apart from slat widths from 16mmto 64mm. What is more it offers variable acoustics withSlats Diffuse diffusing and partially reflecting whereasas Slats and Slats Serate absorbing sound with the latteracting as a diffuser as well. The stage ceiling sports theevergreen Mat Ebony on Skelet Trelis.
Sports Hall
Enthusiatic and energetic students like to play a lot.inball sports the ball gets thrown around and impacts thesurfaces. The ceiling needs volume too so an open plenumlook with Wave GLD+ Clouds works very well.
Install
Anutone provides project support and assigns its engineersto site at regular intervals to handhold the main contractorand ceiling contractor in execution of the ceiling solutionand ensure high fidelity between design intent and reality.

Entrance
The entrance lobby provides the first impression for the guestand needs to be visually striking to set the tone for therest of the journey. A two-level ceiling works very well withthe primary ceiling consisting of Subtex Ebony on SkeletEbony in grid format to create a neutral but contrastingbackground to what is to follow. The secondary ceilingconsists of Shapes ST Clouds in dazzling white,suspended discretely. Each Cloud also acts as an energy-saving, giant lighting reflector.
The reception area features Stretch SLS fabric ceilings,with a smooth, seamless surface for diffused uplighting, toadd to the welcoming mood. Behind the reception is thecloakroom which features the very functional Strandnatural ceilings in grid format on Skelet T24 suspension.

Atrium Corridors
The corridors around the atrium have Designpanel Pixelmicroperf in combination with Tufbloc ceilings in spanformat for a true smooth and seamless finish. Areas thatneed plenum access, for service support, sport thematching Belgravia Pixel microperf gypsum ceiling ingrid format with Skelet U15.

Fine Dining
A unique combination of wood and metal ceiling in colour-combined Carnival Floats below a black plenum doesthe trick! Slit wood ceilings and Serge Auriga metalceilings in Skelet Infinity suspension with concealedgrids is the right choice. The assembly and itscomponents are easy to clean and maintain; are ruggedand durable for longlasting use.
Lounge Bar
The lounge bar and nightclub features a primary ceiling ofTufbloc which keeps the noise and vibration within thespace and ensures none of it leaks to the guestrooms.The secondary ceiling is of Stretch SLS Ebony the blacksurface of which provides the dark background necessaryfor bright discotheque lights as well as sound absorptionfor the high-decibel noise.
Banquet Hall
The banquet hall is the moneyspinner for a hotel andusually works 24x7. Guestrooms depend on hoteloccupancy rates but the banquet hall is forever occupiedwith wedding receptions, product launches, fashionshows, tradeshows, seminars and other corporate orentertainment events.
A primary ceiling of Tufbloc which keeps the noise andvibration within the space and ensures none of it leaks tothe guestrooms is a must. Below that the secondary ceiling
Utilities
The mechanical rooms that include the airconditioningplant feature the every popular Serge Nebula Lay-inmetal ceilings for easy access and durability. Plus thenoise spaces get much-needed sound absorption
Washrooms
For quiet spaces like washrooms, Serge Aquila Clip-inmetal ceilings are most appropriate.
Kitchens
Kitchens are better served with the cleaner MatvinStella vinyl ceilings in grid format.
Install
Anutone provides project support and assigns its engineers tosite at regular intervals to handhold the main contractor and theceiling contractor in the execution of the ceiling solution andensure high fidelity between design intent and project reality.
CONCLUSION
Anutone works as a true friend of the architect for ceilings inhotel projects. This frees up valuable bandwidth and time ofthe architect and allows the designer to focus on other areasof concern.

Applications Guide 41
Entrance
The entrance makes the first impression on the patient,the doctor, and the visitor. It sets a welcoming tone forthe experience to come and is a combination of PlatzACP and Platz AHP in large-format span-type metalceiling. With a very low density of neat, straight joint linesdue to the large-format, and a dust/water-repellant polishedsurface finish, Platz is the way to go for entrances!
Reception
The reception is the first point of interaction and made sublimewith the use of Stretch SLS that puts anxious patients andtheir minders immediately at ease. It helps that such a ceilingfunctions as a diffuse light reflector spreading an even andwarm glow all around! Between the entrance and the receptionis the lobby the ceiling of which is cladded with Slats Beechwood ceiling. This unique ceiling exudes warmth and is againdesigned to bring relief to the nerves of the space user!
Cash / Dispensary
Next to the reception is the cash counter and the chemistfor small medicine dispensation. These functional spacesfeature Subtex Nubby texture ceilings. The tinkling ofmoney is quickly absorbed by this high performance ceiling!
Waiting Lobby
To the right of the reception is the waiting area. Thedesigners of Anutone’s Sleuth programme know thatwaiting can be a very boring pastime that visitors wouldrather avoid. What better than have an open plenum ceilingwith Wave GLD hanging baffles. These can be in bright,vibrant colours to make an otherwise dull atmosphere verycheerful. What is more, the colours can be matched orcontrasted to the colours of the sofa and chairs.
OPD
Adjoining the Waiting Lobby is the Out Patient Department whichis a constant activity space with daycare or firstaid patients comingand going quickly. What better ceiling than Matvin Shinglevinyl tiles that are antiseptic, wet-wipable, light reflecting andsound absorbing. Matvin Shingle offers a neutral background tothe hive of activity below and hence perfectly suits such spaces!
Emergency
To the left of the reception is the emergency ward, a dreadedarea! However, the languidity of Astral Aquila metal ceilings
helps to remove any such dread! The ceilings are cleanroom-standard, hence completely healthy, light reflective as thedoctors on duty need all possible light to deal with theemergencies and provide easy accessibility to the plenumabove for servicing the utilities.
Atrium
Then comes the grand showpiece of any planned hospitalbuilding - the atrium. Atrium usually has hard reflective surfacesthat look good on the eyes and are so easy to maintain butcan result in a cacophony when things get noisy. Wave KLHhanging baffles is the answer. In bright colours the Wave bafflesbrighten up the space, allow skylighting through for energy-saving daylight views to all spaces including wards and absorbnoise. All in all such a bright, colourful atrium would spreadpositive energy and evoke a feeling of wellness, just what ahospital is supposed to do.
Atrium Corridors
The atrium corridors need a smooth, seamless, unclutteredlook. A combination of Belgravia Pixel microperf gypsumin Trelis or Uno grids and Slate plain gypsum does thetrick. Plenum access is via the Belgravia Pixel andmatches the seamless gypsum very well. We now walkaround the hospital premises in clockwise fashion.
Intensive Care Unit
The ICU is a mission critical space and hence similar tothe Emergency Ward in its ceiling application. Here tooAstral Aquila metal ceilings perform in terms of aestheticsensibilities and functional capabilities.
Medical Labs
A number of functional spaces like ECG & echogram,X-ray, MRI scans and reports centre need a uniformtreatment of the ceiling and here again Matvin Shingleof OPD fame comes into play! By providing similar ceilingsfor same-function rooms results in simplicity of install andeconomies of scale.
Operation Theatre
No prizes for guessing this one. It is obviously as criticala space as the Emergency (also known as Casualty orTrauma Centre) Ward and the ICU. Astral Aquila doesduty with aplomb! There could be a difference though!Surgeons may prefer an aluminium high-gloss mirror finishor pure stainless-steel for imparting a sense of volumeand spaciousness apart from high light reflectivity.

Sleuth - Solutions for Hospital Ceilings
42 Applications Guide
Wards
The wards for men and women are areas of post-traumarecuperation and rest. The patient is most times staringat the ceiling and hence they must not be boring. Helpingthe patient recover are Subtex Pebble texture ceilings.With a subtle play of white and black, the ceilings arethree-dimensional in their texture and also offer thefunctionalities of light reflectance and sound absorption.A variant can be the all-new Subtex Pebble Plus wherethe black is replaced with light tones of pink.
Maternity Section
The maternity section features a combination of Matvin Shingleand Astral Aquila. The highlighting feature of the newborn room- neonatology - is that the ceiling can be delivered in in a uniquepattern of skyblue colour and white clouds to give the feeling ofsunny outdoors. For those that have just come into the worldAnutone has a welcome gift - bluesky ceilings!
Staff Room
The staff room is very utilitarian yet it needs to have a calmingeffect on the occupants that face the stress of being theintermediaries between demanding patients, inquisitivevisitors and sometimes eccentric doctors! At the same timethe management would not spend a fortune on such a spacehence Sisoli Safari does duty in the staff room. Simple,functional, economical - a win-win for everybody!
Adjoining the staff room the meeting room that handle simpleto complex AV-conferencing - where doctors from across theworld can come together and discuss a medical procedure.Hence this room needs a high performance ceiling and gets itin the form of Subtex Nubby. To take advantages of dual side
sound absorption and also to project a floating look, the tilescan be ensconced in Skelet Infinity perimeter trims.
Utility Rooms
All rooms that house mechanical equipment like AHUs,gensets, pumps etc need a durable surface that can takeabuse yet reflect light and absorb high-decibel noise. Itcannot get better than Astral Nebula metal ceiling ingrid format with access to the plenum for servicing etc.
On the other hand, the washrooms do feature the samemetal ceilings but in the unperf variant - Astral Aquila.
Cafetaria
The cafetaria space can get very noisy yet it needs toimpart a feeling of voluminous space. Options that workwell are Strand Ebony natural ceilings against the roofslab as a primary ceiling and a secondary ceiling ofSerge Cubix open-cell metal ceiling. Downlights areinstalled between the Strand Ebony and the Cubix resultingin a very interesting building element. Since Strand Ebonyis naturally black, Cubix can be either white or in anybright colour like bright red, golden yellow, lime greenetc. Thus making the space very dynamic yet relaxing!
Special Rooms
Rooms like the VIP suites and blood bank are again specialand similar to the spaces that use Astral Aquila metal ceilings.
Pathology
The path labs are accorded one of the highest status interms of cleanroom ratings and hence the best option isto stick to the tried, tested, proven - Astral Aquila!

OTHER SPACES
Other spaces not shown in our centrespread drawing butwhich are gradually becoming an integral part of anymodern hospital are:
Auditorium
The auditorium usually is the pride of any hospital. It isa space of focal activity where the entire hospital staffcomes together on special occasions. Though manyoptions are possible from Anutone, the currentinternational trend is to go for Slats wood ceilings in aspan format. The advantage of Slats is that it offersmany variants in melamine and veneer apart from slatwidths from 16mm to 128mm. What is more, it offersvariable acoustics with Slats Diffuse diffusing andpartially reflecting whereas Slats and Slats Serateabsorb sound with the latter acting as a diffuser aswell. The stage ceiling sports the evergreen Mat Ebonyon Trelis Ebony.
Gym
Both for cardio-analysis and patients on the mend, thegym has now become another important space in amodern hospital. The ceiling needs volume so an openplenum look with Wave GLD+ Clouds works very well.
Install
Anutone provides project support and assigns its engineersto site at regular intervals to handhold the main contractorand ceiling contractor in execution of the ceiling solutionand ensure high fidelity between design intent and reality.
CONCLUSION
Anutone works as a true friend of the architect for ceilingsin hospital projects. This frees up valuable bandwidth andtime of the architect and allows her to focus on otherareas of concern. Anutone thus adds value to thearchitect’s practice and ensures the ecosystem feelsgood about hospital ceilings!

Carnival Floats
Applications Guide 53
Game-change
Not only are Carnival Floats with modular tiles or seamlesspanels possible but also the quick and easy answer tosite-installed gypsum assemblies that are traditionally usedto create similar effect. The traditional method which is time-consuming, expensive, imperfect and non-acoustics isnow rendered primitive and avoidable.
Benefits
• Open plenums – wall-to-wall ceilings are passé andCarnival Floats enables bucking the trend by allowingthe designer to open up the plenum
• Designer ceilings – the options are unlimited anddesigners can unleash their creativity in any which waythey want – Carnival provides engineered solutions toyour imagination. See Design Options on later pages.
• Economical – as the entire ceiling area is not coveredwith the grid and panels, there are obvious savings incosts
• Faster project turnaround – Carnival Floats eliminatesthe need for time-consuming and laborious site work
Applications
Carnival Floats is ideally suited for all new-age commercialbuildings
• offices
• auditoriums
• malls
• hotels
• hospitals
• education
And all other interior spaces that have adopted the futuristicconcepts of open plenum with floats as the norm.
Features – Carnival
• Very high aesthetic value and visual appeal
• Superior acoustical performance – both surfaces absorbsound
• Flexibility in layout and sizing of floats
• Multi level – imparts the illusion of overhead movement
• Integration of multi products & large format panels ispossible
• Standard or custom sizes to suit project needs
Carnival Floats
Architectural spaces are there to be designed. The ideas belong to the designer. Anutone can enable the designer
capture their 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.
Creating light coves, ceiling clouds, floating islands, projected transitions and design accents with modular
tiles suspended on Skelet O15 / U15 / T15 or a seamless finish with gypsum-based Snazz is now so
easy and simple thanks to the innovation of Carnival Floats with Skelet Infinity.
What is more, with the special Primary Carrier, Carnival Floats can now be assembled on the floor and
hoisted up - quick and easy!
54 Applications Guide
Features – Skelet Infinity
• Smooth, distortion-free, labour-saving perimeter track
• Corrosion-free extruded aluminium
• In edge heights from 100mm to 200mm
• 3 edge profiles – Square, Steppe, Knife
• Integrates easily with Skelet T15 / O15 / U15
• Available in matching colours to Anutone’s range ofceiling tiles
Please refer Skelet brochure for more details.
Acoustical Performance
Carnival Floats provide greater sound absorption than acontinuous ceiling of the same surface area because thesoundwaves are absorbed from both surfaces of the float –the exposed bottom surface and the non-exposed topsurface.
Factors to be considered for acoustical performance include
• Size of the float
• Number of floats for a given enclosed space
• Plenum depth of the float from the soffit
• Ceiling tile or panel selection
• Acoustical overlay (if any) on the ceiling tile or panel

• Circle 1800
• Circle 2400
• Ovals - any combinations of 1800 / 2400 / 3000 / 3600m
Carnival Floats Options - modular ceiling
Design Considerations
Only Skelet Infinity Square Edge can sport rounded corners. Steppe & Knife Edge cannot feature rounded corners.
The colour matching of Skelet Infinity and Skelet T15 / O15 / U15 to a coloured ceiling tile will achieve75-95% results as it represents two very different materials.
Floats can only be installed in a horizontal plane. It cannot be sloped or curved along its horizontal axis.
Floats like any other architectural elements located in the plenum may interfere with fire detection and suppression systems.Life safety system must be installed in the open plenum areas or penetrated through the ceiling floats.
In seismic zones additional lateral supports may become necessary. These are not included in original kits.
Floats is not for outdoor use.
