Oscar Elite Acoustic Plaster Installations

Choose Oscar Elite installations for a synthetic acoustic plaster finish with the appearance of conventional painted plaster. Unlike plaster, this synthetic acoustic plaster absorbs sound energy instead of reflecting it, thereby reducing reverberation times and overall noise levels, giving clarity to speech and music.

A beautiful room with simple surfaces such as feature wood floors and plain flat walls may be visually appealing but may not be the most pleasurable place to spend time due to poor acoustics.

The same visual impact combined with a sympathetic and relaxing acoustic ambience is possible with Oscar Elite synthetic acoustic plaster.

Interior designers who incorporate Oscar Elite acoustic plaster into their designs can achieve spatial design with hard smooth surfaces without compromising the acoustic ambience.

This was the case with Benbow House, luxury Thames-side apartment, Southwark, London. During refurbishment, Oscar Elite acoustic plaster was applied to walls, resulting in superb acoustics without compromising flat surfaces.

Oscar Elite acoustic plaster can be directly applied to most substrates - wood, gypsum board, concrete.

Oscar Elite installations are applied at 25mm thick; the area is dependent on the acoustical requirements of the project. An air gap is introduced to achieve high absorption at low frequencies.

Oscar Elite acoustic plaster is fire rated BS476: Class 1 to Part 7 and Class 0 to part 6.

Technical Information

Oscar Elite Installation Structure

The construction consists of a mineral board of 20 mm thickness and a top layer of approx. 5 mm Oscar Elite synthetic acoustic plaster, which is sprayed, trowelled and worked to optical requirements.

Oscar Elite S	- Stucco
Oscar Elite	- Trowelled to a smooth plaster finish and planished if necessary.

The finish is visually hard, and firm to the touch, but with excellent sound absorption. As with all acoustic plaster, installations should be suitably protected or in areas where damage is unlikey.

Oscar Elite acoustic plaster is installed by our own trained staff in order to guarantee optimal workmanship.

Maintainance & Cleaning
Dust is removed by lightly brushing or vacuuming with a soft brush head. A wall or a ceiling can be entirely over sprayed in acoustic plaster in the same or a change of colour.

Repairing & Servicing

A major benefit of Oscar Elite is local repairs of small areas are easily carried out without the need to remove the top layer and re-spray saving time and money. It is possible to install a new thin layer of Oscar Elite acoustic plaster when the time comes for major redecoration if necessary.
