Sumit Bidani, CEO, Knauf India, stated, “The Architectural Conclave exemplifies our dedication to fostering innovation and sustainability within the architectural community. We believe in pushing the boundaries of traditional practices to create spaces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also safe, efficient, and environmentally conscious.”
The Conclave showcased Knauf India’s latest innovations like the curved wall utilizing Knauf’s Aquapanel technology, which offers superior structural stability and flexibility for creative architectural designs. The company’s advanced drywall solutions and ceiling systems showcased its focus on safety, durability, and aesthetics. Knauf’s fire-rated and wet area drywalls integrated with Securock boards highlighted their safety and durability in moisture-prone environments. These solutions are especially effective for supporting marble cladding and lacquered glass cladding, adding to their versatility and appeal in high-end finishes. Knauf also showcased a two-hour fire-rated ceiling system, versatile grid ceilings, and Danoline acoustic ceilings that provide exceptional sound absorption and fire protection.
During the event, KK Sirpal, Director of Sectoral Solutions and Skill Building at Knauf India (who has been instrumental in launching innovative products such as Durock Next Gen e+, Fiberock ATAR, and Sheetrock Plasterboards), shared insights into the practical and technical benefits of Knauf’s drywall systems. These systems are designed for both interior and exterior applications, catering to a wide range of construction needs, from fire resistance and acoustics to aesthetic finishes.
The Knauf Architectural Conclave served as a valuable platform not only to showcase cutting-edge building solutions but also to foster a vibrant exchange of ideas and encourage future collaborations within the architectural community. The event pushed the boundaries of architectural possibilities and positioned Knauf India as a frontrunner in shaping the future of sustainable and innovative building practices.
