Freestanding acoustic pod providing a private space in an open office

Sealed on all sides, so it isolates sound rather than only absorbing it

No permanent room and no building work

Ventilation is built in, so a long call doesn't mean stale air

A pod can block sprinkler and smoke detector coverage, so we check the fire strategy

Acoustic Pods

Acoustic pods are fully enclosed, freestanding booths that create sound-isolated space for calls or focus work inside an open-plan office. Acoustic pods are self-contained, fully enclosed booths that create an isolated space for calls, focus work or small meetings inside an open-plan floor — without the cost, lead time or planning implications of building a permanent room. Each pod is acoustically sealed on all sides, with integrated ventilation, lighting and power, so it performs as a genuine sound-isolated room rather than simply as a screened-off corner of the office. Because pods are freestanding, they can be relocated as a floor is reconfigured, making them a practical way to add private space to an existing layout without any construction work at all. We help you choose the right pod size and specification for how the space will actually be used, then supply and install across the UK — get in touch for a free survey.

Fully sealed on all sides, each pod performs as a genuine sound-isolated room.

Design flexibility

Freestanding and modular, pods can be resized or relocated as your office layout changes.

From first survey to final finish

One team handles all seven stages, the same way on every project, so you always know what happens next.

Acoustic Survey

A surveyor visits the site, or works from your drawings and photos when a visit isn't practical. Either way, the room, its surfaces and how it is used are recorded before any advice is given.

Acoustic Assessment

Reverberation, ambient noise and noise transfer are read against what the space is used for. The findings arrive as a written report with recommendations, yours to keep with no obligation to proceed.

Acoustic Design

Treatment is modelled against a reverberation target, then drawn up with panel positions, fixings and finishes. Nothing moves forward until you have approved the design.

Specification & Quotation

Every quotation comes with the specification behind it, listing products by type, quantity and finish with costs set out line by line. What is quoted is what the design calls for.

Acoustic Product Supply

Panels, baffles, ceilings and screens come from our Acoustic Solutions range and are supplied to the approved specification. What arrives on site matches what was designed.

Acoustic Installation

Our own engineers fit to the approved drawings, checking positions and fixings as they go. One team supplies and installs, so nothing is handed between contractors.

Acoustic Testing & Compliance

Optional: after fit-out the space can be measured again and compared with the original survey, so the improvement is measured rather than assumed. Results are reported against the relevant standards and the written record goes into your building file.

Process

One contractor from first measurement to final sign-off

We work in a strict sequence. Each stage is verified before the next one begins.

Site Survey & Assessment

We listen to the problem and understand the space. You tell us what you hear and when it matters most.

Design & Quotation

An engineer visits the site and assesses the reverberation, noise transfer and how the space is used. You receive clear recommendations.

Acoustic product FAQs: specification, performance and installation

Answers to the questions buyers ask most about this type of acoustic product.

How much noise does an acoustic pod block?

A lot, but it varies by model. Pods are sealed on all sides, so they reduce sound passing in and out, unlike screens or panels. Ask for the tested sound reduction rating (often quoted as Rw) of the exact model and compare it with your need, for example confidential calls.

Do acoustic pods need their own power and ventilation installation?

No separate ventilation installation is normally required. Pods include ventilation, lighting and power and typically need one mains connection. Ask about fan noise and airflow, because a noisy fan defeats the purpose of a quiet space.

How many people fit in an acoustic pod?

Sizes range from single-person focus pods to small meeting pods for several people. Choose by how the space will really be used, meaning the number of calls and meetings and how many people join, rather than by the number of desks on the floor.

Can an acoustic pod be moved if we change our office layout?

Yes. Pods are freestanding and designed to be dismantled and reassembled elsewhere, which is a main advantage over a built room. Check doors, lifts and floor loading at the new location before you move one.

Do I need planning permission or building control for an acoustic pod?

Generally not, because pods are freestanding furniture rather than construction. You should still check the fire strategy, since a pod can block sprinkler and detector coverage or affect escape routes. We flag anything project-specific at the survey, and you should confirm with your fire safety adviser and insurer.
