Smart-tech and Fermacell
have a similar vision of
providing the strongest
DryWalls with best Pre-Paint
finish in India.

The strength in any
Gypsum board is not
in the core but the
Paper, hence making
the Board very weak.
Fermacell is made
with the proprietary
Paperless fiber
technology, hence its
core strength is in the
whole substrate and
not just paper, unlike
other boards in the
Market. Along with
Smart Wall® framing
systems Fermacell
becomes the
strongest Wall Board
2
on Planet Earth.
Wet Areas is another
issue that has led to
badmouth publicity of
the Standard Gypsum
Board and Drywalls as
a whole.
With Fermacell Wet
Areas is never a
problem as a matter
of fact using Fermacell
eliminates the hassles
of using multiple
boards for one
project, leading to
better material
planning and
accurate forecasting.
Smart-tech is an ISO
9001,14001 and OHSAS 18001
certified company one of a
kind to have audited on all the
parameters of quality
conscious products and
services in Dry Construction
Industry in India
Fermacell products are
produced to the highest
international quality standards.

accreditation of our factories

Smart-tech has a
habit of creating
impact, as it did last
year at Royal
Academy of
Engineering, London.
By being awarded a
leader in Innovation
by the Royal
College.
Whereas, when it
comes to Fermacell,
in the most turbulent
times of 2009-10 its
parent Xella Corp
managed to
turnaround a record
1.5 Billion Euros,
proving that quality
always wins.

Fermacell boards are heavy duty rated (severe
duty rating under BS 5234-2:1992). Hence it
can take any type of domestic impact this is
because of its High Density core, which adds
strength to the overall system.
Moreover, Fermacell’s holding strength is
almost at par with a traditional brick wall a
single screw can take upto 30 Kg loads and
using a toggle screw will allow us to hang upto
50 kg loads. Adding to the hangs Fermacell
Smart-walls can be nailed! Yes, they can be
nailed to hang lightweight daily use objects
and photo frames.
Therefore, No other Board, Metal or Company
can beat the impact in the similar space.
Guaranteed!

Fermacell gypsum fiber
boards are excellent in
passive fire protection a
single 12.5 mm fermacell
board on either side of a
Smart wall frame can give
us 60 minutes of fire rating
and 52 Db Sound
transmission class,
whereas for any other
gypsum board 2 layer of
same thickness would be
necessary to get
equivalent ratings.
Fermacell/Smartwall
systems can be designed
to perform in the worst fire
prone regions thru its
systems, we can manage
fire protection from 60
minutes to 240 minutes
and sound ratings of upto
64 db can be achieved
with minimal wall
thickness making it the
best performing Fire and
3
sound rated system in
India.
Fermacell/Smartwall
systems can achieve best
in class finish in the fastest
possible way, thru it’s
proprietary jointing system
Fermacell square edge
boards can be joined
using “fermacell jointstick”
which removes the use of
multicoat jointing
compound and paper or
fiber tape at joints making
it the fastest jointing
system in drywall offerings
around the globe. As the
jointstick method requires
skilled workmanship
Fermacell also comes in a
standard two way or four
way tapered edge for use
with unskilled workers.
Both the methods are
effective in achieving a
crack free finish.
AND THEN…
There Were Three
FIRE | SOUND |FINISH
It is almost
Impossible to find
a Drywall which
can provide
highest fire Rating
with minimum
Width, with
excellent sound
resistance and an
impeccable
crack free finish.
But is it really….

“With
SmartWall/Fermacell
the end User
Acceptance is
triggered”.Which lies
to be the biggest
threat towards
acceptance of
Drywalls on a Macro
Level in India”.
1
Conclusion to This is
the new Beginning,
Smarttech has had
the opportunity to
work with many
multinational
corporations as a
drywall contractor
and supplier, and
on the whole any
kind of drywall is
any-day better
then a brick or a
block wall.
However,
regardless of the
benefits of the
Drywalls that are
known to all, the
acceptability
amongst the End-
User is a setback
that lies between
2
the use of Green
Walling
Technologies and
the acceptance of
such technologies
on a macro level.
However, “With
Smart-Wall® and
Fermacell the end
user acceptance is
triggered by
providing a rigid,
Crack Free,
unplanned Loading
friendly Wall which
can be used in the
same way as a
brick wall but at the
same time it is
more sustainable
and efficient unlike
any other Drywall in
India”.
