Performing The Act Right Performing The Right Act
ACT GLD Today, any area of human interaction is a performance space. For a simple reason that each such space is characterised by a human action which, technically speaking, is a ‘performance!’ The action performed in a space, therefore, determines the nature of the space - work spaces such as convention centres ... sporting arenas ... entertainment places such as cinemas ... audiotoria ... discotheques etc ... academia and learning centres ... highend business environments such as video-conferencing and telepresence ... all conduct their own performances. In order to perform the designated task in the desired manner, any space has to have two components right: design and material. Combining these two is, indeed, a great ‘act.’ More so, for spaces that factor high abuse resistence. Enacting this incredible combination, however, is the truly named ACT GLD. Brought to the industry through a joint initiative of Anutone India and Owens Corning USA, under the brand AnutoneSoft Respond, the ACT GLD panels respond to the requirement of any space, and perform their act right: Visually stunning aesthetics, by virtue of a n incredibly wide range of design choices, and aurally comfortable ambience by virtue of technology. Any interior space will now look special. For, it has its performing act just right, with ACT GLD.
Key Attributes
Form n Function: Aesthetics
ACT GLD wall and ceiling panels are designed for general multipurpose use where high abuse resistance is not a factor. It can be the preferred choice for any designer since it brings many things to the space it is chosen for: Visual appeal, aural comforts, ease of install, eco-logics, and safety.
ACT GLD Panels come with a richness of colours and vividity of forms that make it stunningly luxurious and visually beautiful. They meet both the aesthetic and functional requirements of all types of architectural spaces. A wide variety of fabric shades are available from Interface.
Applications ACT GLD panels meet the requirements of diverse architectural spaces such as • • • • • • • •
Offices, A / V conference rooms, boardrooms Auditoria, performing spaces Cinema - multiplexes and single-screens Hotels - banquet halls, guest rooms Public spaces, convention centres Studios, preview theatres Learning centres Home theatres, listening rooms
System Features
Acoustics Besides visual appeal, ACT GLD panels bring a superlative acoustic performance. They come with UL classification label in that they have been tested at Underwriters Laboratories for their acoustical performance. Each of the variants have an NRC of Thickness (mm) 19 25 38 50
ACT GLD comes wth a dimensionally stable, high-density core with resin-hardened edge protection. Finishes are completely adhered to the face of the panel and returned to the back for a full finished edge. All corners are thus fully tailored, giving a beautiful look, besides enabling good performance.

The ACT GLD panels are testify international standards such as the ASTM C 423 on a Type D5 mounting, and ASTM E84* and has a Class I/A rating.
ACT GLD panels utilise a core that is eligible to bear the Green Cross label for recycled content. The board is certified on an average to contain at least 35 per cent recycled glass with 9 per cent post-consumer and 26 per cent pre-consumer content. For any LEED project, ACT GLD panels help qualify for recycled content points under the Materials and Resources section. Other LEED categories may also apply depending upon the project requirement.
Edge & Corner Profiles Regardless of durability or design requirements, ACT GLD has the edge profiles you need.
Edge Treatment – Chemically Hardened Panel perimeters are treated with a special resin hardener for clean, crisp edges that resist crushing. Available in all edge profiles.

For walls
Z-Clips
Z-Bar
Impaling Clip/Adhesive
Special panel clips are mounted to the panel back at time of shipment. Corresponding wall clips or wall bars are installed on the wall at the appropriate location to allow attachment of the panel.
Special panel bars are mounted to the panel back at time of shipment. Corresponding wall bars are installed on the wall at the appropriate location to allow attachment of the panel.
Impaling clips are attached directly to the wall with the points extending outward. Adhesive is applied to the fibreglass panel, which is positioned and pressed into place onto the clips.
For ceilings ACT GLD is installed as Modular Ceiling - regular ceiling panels lay-in wall-to-wall in AnutoneSkelet T15 / O15 / U15 Carnival Floats - multiple panels lay-in AnutoneSkelet T15 / O15 / U15 with perimeter as AnutoneSkelet Infinity, suspended as islands

Visual Variants - Fabric Colours ACT GLD fabrics bring a riot of bright colours for all types of architectural spaces and interior decors. Fabric is sourced from Interface Style 2100; 100 per cent recycled polyester; passes flammability tests as per ASTM E84 and NFPA-701. Acoustically, net change in NRC when an acoustic substrate is covered with this fabric, ranges from 0.00 to 0.05, in other words the fabric is transparent to soundwaves across all frequencies.

Design Options With an unbelievably broad range of modular ceilings, built spaces can practically sport a designer look, with a mix n match of different options for ceiling surfaces using ACT GLD. In essence, a given built space can sport different looks with - exposed plenum, large format, combinations (multi-product), layers (multi-levels), shapes n sizes (hexagon, octagon etc), curves, perforated and unperforated, and accented AnutoneSkelet. The possibilities are limited only by one’s imagination. Here are some design options ...
Colour AnutoneSkelet Breaking away from the limitation of white framework. Now, even the framework can match the vividity of the coloured panels to weave in a different aesthetic impact, complementing the overall ambience.
Celebration Clouds Imagine differently shaped clouds in the ceiling either installed individually or in a group to create dramatic effects to architectural spaces. Your designer creativity is the only limitation for Celebration Cloud series to transform architectural spaces into exquisite exhibits of interior splendour and maginficence.
ACT Wave ACT Wave GLD panels are suspended from the roof or ceiling above or from the structure near the noise source. Added advantage is that ACT Wave GLD being vertically installed, allow skylighting and visibility to beautiful roof structures. By being available in a range of bright colours they can brighten up dreary interiors and dramatically alter the looks of a place.
AnutoneShapes ACT AnutoneShapes GLD gives life to your imaginationby offering various shapes coming away from the regular squares or rectangles, circle and oval shapes can also be customised into the ceilings generating a strong aesthete statement for the designer and the client. ACT AnutoneShapes GLD can be used as single or grouped panels, each shaped, suspended as islands.
Carnival Floats Think islands in the sky and Carnival Ceiling Floats is the reality. Yes! Whether it is for initial design or an afterthought, Carnival Ceiling Floats with AnutoneSkelet Infinity is for all seasons. Creating light coves, ceiling clouds, floating islands, projected transitions and design accents with ACT GLD suspended on AnutoneSkelet T15 / O15 / U15 or a seamless finish with AnutoneSnazz is now so easy and simple thanks to the innovation of Carnival Ceiling Floats with AnutoneSkelet Infinity.
