Wall Types |
Wire Covers |
Cutting Wall |
the evo system |
|
Dry Wall |
Conceals without the costs and time of cutting holes in the wall |
Super clean and not overly difficult to achieve |
Sets right on top and flexibly mounts on your studs |
|
Concrete |
When cutting isn't an option, you can run the wires cleanly over the surface of the wall |
There's really no way to run your wiring inside of the wall in this application |
Because the evo system is entirely surface mounted, concrete walls are a non-issue |
|
Brick |
Wire covers can hide your messy wires, but be careful about the wall's inconsistencies |
Running wiring up through Brick and Masonry isn't really an option |
The system mounts over the surface and hides any inconsistencies of the wall |
|
Cinder Block |
Wire covers can hide your messy wires, but be careful about the wall's inconsistencies |
There's no easy or reliable way to run your wiring through Cinder/Hollow Block |
The system mounts over the surface and hides any inconsistencies of the wall |

COST |
Cheap |
Moderate |
More Expensive |
|
INSTALLATION |
Easy |
Specialty work and services required |
A few hours, but no specialty work involved |
|
FLEXIBILITY |
Simple and easy to remove and reconfigure |
Static location and height means you must choose your location wisely |
Simple and easy to remove and reconfigure |
|
ADDING WIRING |
Adding wires is easy, but you're limited by the total amount of wires and their girth |
Restrictive and difficult to re-run wiring |
Simple and painless with no limitations |
|
CLEANLINESS |
You can match the look and color of your room, but the wire cover remains close-to, but not flush to the wall |
When you're done, there will be no visible trace at all |
Since the evo is a self-contained system, there's never a sign of wiring |
|
RUNNING POWER |
Run power just like any other wiring |
An electrician will be required to correctly (and legally) run power |
Not only is running power wiring easy, evo mounts over electrical outlets to hide them as well |
|
MULTIPLE OUTLETS |
There's no handling for multiple plugs or power strips, they'll all be outside of the covering |
When installing, you can create multiple outlets if you need—but after that, it's a pain to add more |
Hide surge protectors and power strips behind your evo paneling and there's no trace |
|
RUNNING SPEAKERS |
Wire covers are not perfect for speaker wiring, due to long runs and being larger than the need |
It's clean, but separate runs are required and going across studs can be a BIG pain |
Speakers are no problem at all when attached to the evo system, and wiring can be dropped from the system to running boards cleanly and easily |
