Participating in the discussion with eminent Architects from Noida, Mr. Manish Sanghi, Managing Director, Everest Industries Ltd. said, "We are in a way to introduce new Everest, which is not limited only to offering products, but solutions. Basically, we are in the business of providing quick light green solutions. With the increasing pace of urbanization and industrialization, there has been a fast growing need for finding alternative products and solutions which bring in strength, speed and safety to a residential, commercial or industrial construction."
According to him, achieving environmental sustainability by adopting zero water construction methods and natural resource replacement products as building materials has been driving innovations globally. "At Everest, we believe in providing such value added products and solutions to its customers. We are glad to present and discuss these ideas and innovative solutions today with the esteemed members of AANZ, who share the same ambition of providing value added innovative building solutions to people."
Everest Fiber Cement Wood Planks have a brilliant wood like appearance and come with the strength of Cement. Made with state-of-the-art technology using mix of cement and high-grade fibers, they are available in different sizes and finishes without the usual flaws and knots of wood, giving home owners the experience of wood without its expense.
On the other hand, Everest Stone Cladding has the stunning finish of stone and the enduring strength of cement. Being lighter than stone, these reduce load on the building and help generate considerable savings. These products are pre-finished and ready to install with superior attributes and lend style and elegance to residential, commercial and hospitality projects while delivering value for money by being less expensive than wood and stone.
"With the spurt in construction of residential apartments and commercial infrastructure in Delhi-NCR, there has been a growing demand for products that give aesthetically stunning looks to the interiors and exteriors of walls of buildings. So far, due to lack of options, customers have been using wood and stone based products to give that aesthetic touch to the walls of their houses, which has been having adverse effect on environment. Everest Fiber Cement Wood Planks and Everest Stone Cladding comes with the same promise of delivering stunning aesthetics without compromising with environment. Apart from being cost effective, these products are highly durable with fire and moisture resistance, termite proof, and weather resistance properties, making it ideal for high population density new age residential townships like Noida."- said Mr. Rakesh Verma, General Manager – Boards and Panel Business, Everest Industries Ltd.
As these are light weight, high durability and eco-friendly products, apart from giving stunning look to the buildings, they complement the all weather proof, earthquake resistant, moisture, termite and fire resistant properties of modern eco-friendly buildings making them ideal for seismic and extreme weather prone areas.
Speaking on the occasion, Ar. Atul Gupta, President of AANZ, said, "A recent survey by GRIHA shows that Noida has the highest number of green buildings NCR. Nearly 60% of ongoing projects in Noida are green. Members of AANZ believe in using and promoting such eco-friendly and innovative products and solutions in construction. Many of us have already specified such GRIHA- rated products and solutions by Everest, and that gave us the confidence to organize this highly informative and interactive discussion session. We hope our member architects would be able to enhance their understanding of such new age construction practices through this discussion and would be able to bring them into application while executing projects in coming days."
