Oscar Acoustics is a manufacturer of seamless acoustic sprays and acoustic plasters for the control of noise reverberation in buildings. The business has operated for over 45 years, specialising in spray applied architectural acoustic finishes for the last 25 years. This wealth of experience and expertise enables Oscar to provide a long lasting, quality acoustic installation for any design situation.
