Oscar Evo-Blade

create elegant infinity-edge ceilings with Oscar Evo-Blade

Discover the secret to elegant plaster ceilings with dramatic shifts in height, sharp recessed lighting channels, perfect corners and a seamless, slimline finish. Designed and manufactured in Great Britain, the patented Oscar Evo-Blade was developed by Oscar Acoustics to overcome many of the problems commonly associated with other knife-edge trims, such as cracking and air filtration.

The Oscar Evo-Blade plasterboard trim was created following a meeting where an architect and contractor had specified a razor edge trim for use in a standard plaster and acoustic plaster ceiling. The dry lining company said it would crack their plaster, and we knew the cracking and air filtration issues it would cause to any acoustic plaster.

The Evo-Blade infinity knife-edge trim is designed to prevent these problems by uniquely enabling the installer to position the plasterboard in different places to accommodate different depth finishes. Unlike typical razor edge trims where cracks can develop in the skim layer of plaster or bands of discolouration caused by sudden depth changes between trim and acoustic plaster, the Evo-Blade allows plasterboard to run right up to the ceiling edge. This avoids both of these problems and ensures a smooth and flawless finish every time.

All acoustic finishes are inherently air porous due to the fact they need to absorb sound. This means that when a room’s air pressure increases due to a door or window opening/closing, a gust of wind through an open aperture or a ventilation system starting up, air will be forced into an acoustic product, which over time will filter out any dust in the air.

This is not normally a problem, but when most of the acoustic ceiling is, for example – 27mm thick and the part over the razor trim is only 2mm thick, the air movement rates will be different, meaning one will change colour compared to the other over time. It’s worth noting that this can take years, but in extreme cases it can take weeks.

An incredibly versatile solution, the Evo-Blade plasterboard trim works with a variety of configurations, from regular to acoustic plaster like Oscar Elite and acoustic sprays like SonaSpray.
