5 key benefits of acoustic spray for building interiors
Good acoustics are no longer considered a luxury; they are a non-negotiable part of healthy building design.The way a room sounds has a huge impact on how it’s used, experienced and remembered. However, so does the way it looks. This is where acoustic spray can make all the difference.
At Oscar Acoustics, we specialise in helping architects and designers solve acoustic challenges with seamless, high-performance spray-applied finishes. Our solutions help to control reverberations but also enable you to design beautiful spaces. They also meet the highest standards for fire safety and sustainability.
Here are five key benefits that make acoustic sprays an essential tool in modern building design.
1. controls reverberation without compromising design
One of the biggest strengths of acoustic spray is its ability to absorb sound energy and reduce unwanted reverberation. This is especially the case in large spaces or those with hard surfaces.
Unlike bulky ceiling tiles or panels, acoustic spray applies directly to structural surfaces (usually ceilings) so blends in with the architecture. This means you get all the benefits without interfering with the interior design.
From sophisticated, curved ceilings in hotels to exposed soffits in open-plan offices, acoustic spray adapts to your space, not the other way around.
At Oscar Acoustics, our acoustic sprays offer high Noise Reduction Coefficients (NRCs), making them ideal for:
- Offices and meeting rooms
- Restaurants and bars
- Educational spaces
- Auditoriums and performance venues
- Open-plan spaces for the public
2. fire-rated solutions that meet UK regulations
We appreciate safety is never an option. In commercial buildings, fire-rated materials are often a legal requirement, especially on ceilings, where the risk of fire spreading is highest.
All Oscar Acoustics’ acoustic spray systems can be supplied with Class 0 or Class 1 fire ratings, tested in accordance with British Standards (BS EN 13501-1 and BS476). This gives architects and other clients complete peace of mind, knowing they exceed the latest regulatory requirements.
Crucially, these safety standards are achieved without sacrificing on performance or appearance. Our acoustic sprays offer exceptional sound absorption while meeting or exceeding the most stringent safety criteria.
3. supports sustainable building goals
Sustainability is a key part of construction and design, and our acoustic sprays deliver on this front too. Our acoustic sprays are made with recycled paper and other renewable materials, helping projects meet BREEAM, LEED and WELL targets.
The range can effectively lower the environmental impact of a building project by sequestering rich stores of carbon for the life of the structure or application.
Better yet, because acoustic spray is applied directly to surfaces, there’s less need for secondary structures or fixings. This can slash the amount of materials wasted and speed up installation.
The result? A high-performance finish that supports low-carbon, low-waste construction without compromise.
4. seamless finish and creative freedom
Architects choose acoustic spray not just for what it does, but for how it looks. Or, in other words how little it interferes with the appearance of a space.
Traditional acoustic panels and tiles impose geometric limitations on design. In contrast, spray-applied systems are completely seamless, following curves, contours and complex forms with no joints or breaks. This means you can enjoy:
Clean, minimalist aesthetics
Integration with lighting and other ceiling services
Consistent finishes across mixed surfaces
At Oscar Acoustics, we offer a variety of sprays with different colours and textures, allowing designers to find the right one for their project. For spaces that require acoustic performance and visual enhancement, acoustic spray is often the only solution that can achieve both.
5. efficient installations with minimal disruption
On a busy site or building, every hour is critical. Acoustic spray offers a major advantage: it can be rapidly and efficiently applied with minimal disruption.
It’s sprayed on site, so there’s no need for prefabrication or cutting to size. Our specialist in-house installers can coat large areas quickly, including complex areas and around fixtures. In retrofit projects, spray systems are ideal for upgrading reverberant spaces without invasive procedures.
Oscar Acoustics offers a complete supply and install service, carried out by our own skilled teams. We work to your schedule and provide quality detailing from first coat to final finish.
You will enjoy fast results and a flawless acoustic finish that’s ready to perform from day one.
