Design Considerations

• The corded ribbings are oriented to the longeredges of the panels and the latter can be installedhorizontally or vertically to make a space look visuallylonger or taller.

• Dado or chair rails and other transition reveals mustbe introduced early in the design.

• Indicated panel thickness is for base panel only - 4mm of fabric thickness and 2 mm of AnutoneSplineH-System should be added to overall AnutoneSoakCord thickness. Hence, 20 mm panel means 26 mmsystem thickness.

• Panels should not touch the floor but rest on a woodenskirting which may be repeated at the wall-ceilingjunction.

Key Attributes

AnutoneSoak Cord performs the twin function of visualaesthetics and acoustic performance!AnutoneSoak Cord features ribbed non-wovens that offerscontemporary wall designs for classy interiors. AnutoneSoakCord adds to the winning portfolio of elegance, economyand ease of installation that brings –• productivity and privacy to modern workplaces• demanding performance to special venues like multiplexes

and studios.

Added feature is high impact resistance, making AnutoneSoakCord rugged and durable for any use.

Typical Applications

AnutoneSoak Cord is used for acoustical wall panellings andcombo partitions in offices, auditoria, multiplexes, banquet halls,studios, libraries, home theatres etc.

Aesthetics

Fabric walls with neat panel joint lines, vertically andhorizontally, for a true panel effect. AnutoneSoak Cord featuresribbings that can be installed horizontally or vertically. Theedge profile is pencil radius due to fabric wrap.

Visual Variants

The visual variants of AnutoneSoak Cord are realised fromorientation of the corded ribbings and/or the fabric colours.The fabric colours can be installed in singles or doublecombos.

Accessibility

Installation of AnutoneSoak Cord with AnutoneSplinesH-System ensure easy dismantling and reinstallation ofpanels for accessiblity to the surface or void behind.

Product considerations

Ribbings depth and true form are subjectto fabric quality. Fabric shade may varyfrom batch to batch due to limitations indye technology.

Environmental Impact

The base panel is an eco-friendly productand wins GBC’s 15 LEED points for greenbuildings, a SoundSustain™ effort fromAnutone®.

Site Considerations

• Cartons of AnutoneSoak Cord must be stored on a flat,dry surface.

• They must not come in contact with water.• Wall surfaces must be devoid of moisture prior to

installation.• The final act of panel installation must be performed

only when all other works are completed and site hasattained occupancy conditions.

• Trained and skilled technicians must installAnutoneSoak Cord. ‘Soft’ and ‘clean’ handling is a must.

• For wall edges and corners where cut panels arerequired, the fabric can be peeled back and cut to size,the base panel cut to size and fabric bonded again withrubber-based adhesives.

• Panels can be vacuumed post-installation.

Note - Carton size 1216 x 616 mm. Carton weight is forAnutoneSoak NSS™ Cord only. AnutoneSoak Burl™ Cord willbe heavier. SoundSoak™Cord is always packed in pairs.Minimum order quantity - 1 carton.

Technical Variants

AnutoneSoak Cord - 25mm thick

Tech Performance

The Cord fabric and F-Spline are FR grade. For base panel -• Non-combustibility - Mass loss 53% @ 750oC - ISO 1182• Ignitibility – ‘P’ - BS 476 Part 5• Fire Propagation Index – 5.17 - BS 476 Part 6• Surface Spread – Class I - BS 476 Part 7• Specific Optical Density of Smoke - Flaming Exposure

26.28 Dm (Corr) - ASTM E662• Thermal Conductivity – 0.08 Wm/k - IS 3346

Anutone's VDH™ technology - Variable Density Hybrid - isavailable in AnutoneSoak Cord. This allows for space-saving A-mounting of panels but with AutoAir - anautomatic airgap for an acoustic infill of AnutoneSynth AWfor additional sound absorption. Panel size is restrictedto 600x1200x25mm only. Applications include offices,home theatres where more sound absorption than thatprovided by regular A-mounted AnutoneSoak NSS Cord isneeded.

Anutone's AcoustCombi™ technology - variable soundabsorption - is realised from technical variants –• AnutoneSoak NSS™ Cord – natural surface for mid and

high frequency sound absorption• AnutoneSoak Burl™ Cord – blinded surface suitable for

low-frequency sound absorptionFor noise isolation, technical variantsare realised from the core material -the Septum™ Series –• AnutoneSoak Septum Cord• AnutoneSoak Septum Cord• AnutoneSoak MultiSeptum Cord• AnutoneSoak MultiSeptum Cord

Installation DrawingsInstallation Drawings

STEP 1 & STEP 2Mark location of each panel on wall forA-mounting (or on AnutoneStrut for C orD-mounting), to determine panel usage,position and inside/outside corner details.Install wooden skirting at base of wall forpanel support. Make sure it is level. Height ofskirting depends on architecturalrequirements, usually 150 mm.

STEP 3 & STEP 4Position first panel, using level to assureplumb. Insert first H-spline section intogroove on panel and against wall. Start attop of panel. Spline should be suitablyattached to the wall so that it is firmly inplace. Add splines down to rest of thepanel till the wooden skirting, making sureplumb is maintained.

STEP 5Position next panel onwall and slide itagainst first H-splineuntil they fully engagein the groove. Fix H-spline to oppositeedge groove and to

wall as done with first panel. Continueprocedure along wall length, checking plumbof each panel.NOTE : If a cut AnutoneSoak Cord panel isneeded to fill inside corner, do not fasten thelast row of H-splines to wall.

STEP 6Measure spacefrom last panel tocorner at top,middle andbottom of area.

Transfer these measurements to the faceof the panel. Place panel, fabric side up, onsmooth and clean surface and using handor power saw, cut through fabric and panelso that cut edge is the edge that will fit in thecorner.

STEP 7Apply adhesive to back of last full panel alongopen H-spline that will be used in that edge,(See B), and to back of cut panel, (See C).Insert the last attached H-spline. InsertH-spline with adhesive into other groove oflast full panel. Insert groove of cut panel intothe H-spline and insert cut edge into corner.Then apply pressure at joint between panel(See D), until contact is made with the wall.Hold until adhesive sets. Secure cut cornerpanel to wall with four finishing nails alongoutside edge of panel at corner. Space themevenly and drive at 450 angle. A new, fullpanel should be used as the first panel afterthe corner (See E). But it against front of cutcorner panel after putting adhesive alongthe length of the panel’s thickedge. Continue down this wall (Steps #1through #5).

STEP 8Measure spacefrom last full panelto corner at top,middle and bottom.

Add 50mm, to these measurements.Transcribe these measurements to face ofpanel to be cut. Place panel, fabric side up,on smooth and clean surface, using hand orpower saw, cut through the fabric and panelalong the marked line.

STEP 9Gently peel fabricback 75mm from cutedges of both panelpieces. Draw a line

on the AnutoneSoak Cord panels of bothpieces 50mm back from the cut edge, andparallel to the cut edge along the length ofthe panel.

STEP 10Making sure thefabric is foldedback out of theway, cut off this

50mm wide strip of the base panel on bothpieces. Remove any loose fibres that mayremain.

STEP 11On one piece, apply hot melt glue to the panelalong the 25mm wide exposed top where

the material waspeeled back, alongthe cut edge, andalong a 25mm widestrip on the back

next to the cut edge. Wrap fabric back overface, around edge, and over back so itadheres, Stretch tight, eliminating any foldsor creases. Repeat procedure with otherpanel piece.

STEP 12On panel cut to fitcorner width,apply adhesive toAnutone Soak

Cord panel along the length of the panel, justbeyond fabric along the cut edge. Place panelon wall and slip it into the last installed H-spline. Hold until adhesive sets.

STEP 13Apply adhesive insame manner toother panel piece.Position it on wall

around corner so it completely overlaps endof other corner panel. Slip H-spline into thegroove in the opposite edge and continuedownward in the same manner aspreviously.
