Make Confidential Calls in Our Soundproof Phone Pods

With our acoustic office telephone and video conferencing booths, you will never have to leave the workspace to take a private call again — without altering your existing layout. Most of our custom-engineered phone booths match the latest ISO 23351-1:2020 international metrics for total voice isolation and speech privacy.

Office phone booths and video conferencing pods offer teams a quiet retreat for individual calls, video meetings, and fast bursts of focus work without disrupting surrounding desk clusters.

Featuring highly comfortable, ergonomic acoustic interiors alongside seamless integrated technology, these small single-user pods drop straight into open-plan floorplates seamlessly.

Why Choose Our Office Phone Booths?

Acoustic Performance

Our phone pods are evaluated using standard speech level testing to ensure true confidential call conditions inside the workspace.

No Planning Permission

Classified entirely as moveable office furniture, these call booths bypass construction delays or complex building alterations.

Relocation & Flexibility

Equipped with heavy-duty castors, glides or modular components, our pods and booths can be easily relocated across different floors or offices.

Quick Installation

Designed for speed, certain options assemble in as fast as 30-40 minutes, keeping structural downtime and workspace mess to a minimum.

Understanding Acoustic Testing Standards

Acoustic phone booths tested to the ISO 23351-1:2020 international standard offer clear and verifiable speech level drop readings, letting commercial buyers accurately plan privacy protection across open floor plans.

Current Furniture Standard

ISO 23351-1:2020

Introduced in 2020, this represents the definitive international benchmark specifically tracking speech level reduction (D_S,A) on modern enclosed office furniture (pods and booths). Rather than running calculations based on structural elements like walls, it quantifies how effectively a pod acts to isolate vocal paths so conversations cannot be overheard by colleagues working nearby.

Acoustic Class Definitions:

  • Class A: 30–33dB drop — provides outstanding speech privacy levels, suited for sensitive, private conversations and can be positioned close to busy, noisy areas.
  • Class B: 25–30dB drop — ensures excellent privacy, commonly applied in dynamic, collaborative office environments.
  • Class C & D: Under 25dB drop — yields a practical sound buffer, best positioned slightly further away from busy spaces.

Traditional Structural Methods

ISO 10140-2 & ISO 16283-1

Prior to 2020, modular phone booths were commonly tested via architectural methods like ISO 10140-2 or ISO 16283-1. While highly precise, these parameters were engineered for structural building materials, fixed interior partitions, and permanent drywall installations, rather than autonomous furniture pods. They still provide valid acoustic metrics, though they bypass the clear, direct comparative classification mapping of newer standalone systems.

Key Differences:

  • Measures transmission losses across solid, structural partitions rather than self-contained furniture pods.
  • Expressed as standard dB metrics (Rw, R', or DnT,w) rather than targeted vocal frequencies.
  • Lacks an immediate alphabetical ranking structure, requiring manually cross-referencing technical sheets.

Office Phone Booth FAQs

Generally, no. Acoustic office phone booths are completely free-standing modular furniture items. They can be moved, repositioned, or reconfigured without altering the physical fabric of the building, meaning they fall entirely outside the scope of planning control. However, companies should always check that placement respects local fire safety escape routes, airflow circulation guidelines, and standard Building Regulations before final installation.
Office phone booths and single-user call pods vary in price depending on materials, technical configurations, and country of manufacture. Budget-friendly models start from around £3,600 + VAT, while high-performance acoustic booths with integrated smart technology systems and additional furniture can reach up to £10,000 + VAT and more. Because phone booths are classified as moveable furniture rather than structural capital changes, businesses can typically claim full tax relief through capital allowances, creating an exceptionally flexible investment.
Lead times vary based on stock status and custom finishes. We carry specific popular configurations in stock, ready for immediate delivery within 7–14 working days. For built-to-order models featuring custom external finishes or alternative natural upholstery selections, lead times generally average between 5–8 weeks. Accurate delivery timelines are fully detailed at the quotation stage to keep project planning precise.
Yes. We maintain active commercial furniture showrooms across the UK—including locations in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff, and Glasgow. Because specific model displays change periodically, we suggest getting in touch with our team in advance to find out display setups and arrange a dedicated walkthrough appointment to experience the build and sound dampening capability first-hand.
Yes, we provide completely free, comprehensive space planning advice alongside no-obligation 3D renders. By sharing a raw floor plan or room layout with our in-house design team, we will generate an accurate virtual layout mapping out exactly how the phone booths fit into your floor area while maintaining efficient workspace pathways and comfortable clear distances.
