Office Pods & Meeting Booths

Acoustic Pods for Focused Work, Boardrooms, & Meetings

Acoustic office pods provide private, sound-absorbing, and freestanding spaces for phone calls, video conferences, and collective meetings without altering your existing office layout. This means no messy building works or extended operational downtime. Many of our architectural pod designs are rigorously tested to the latest ISO 23351-1:2020 standard, representing the highest global benchmark for acoustic speech privacy in enclosed commercial furniture.

Our enclosed pod ranges include small single-person telephone and video conferencing booths, through to mini focus pods with built-in desking. Our medium-sized team meeting and huddle pods can be fitted with comfortable seating and tables. The larger modular meeting and boardroom pods fit 6 to 8 people and can be configured with meeting tables, loose chairs or sofas, alongside accessories such as Smart TVs and presentation boards to make your working day easier.

Why Choose Our Office Pods?

Acoustic Performance

Many of our pods meet ISO 23351-1:2020, the industry benchmark for speech privacy, so performance is independently tested, not just claimed.

No Planning Permission

Classed as furniture rather than fixed construction, our pods can be installed without planning permission or building work.

Relocation & Flexibility

Built-in castors and modular sections make it easy to move pods or reconfigure your space as your team grows.

Integrated Furniture & Technology

From TV brackets and whiteboards to charging points and built-in desks, pods can be fitted to suit how your team works.

Accessibility Options

Our accessibility pods feature extra-wide doors, flush thresholds, and folding tables and seating for inclusive workspaces.

Quick Installation

As freestanding furniture, office pods and booths are usually fitted within hours, not days, with no construction delays, mess or extended downtime.

Showroom Availability

Many pods can be viewed and tested in UK showrooms, so you can experience the build and acoustic quality first-hand.

Understanding Acoustic Testing Standards

Office pods tested to ISO 23351-1:2020 give buyers a clearer way to compare acoustic performance. Rather than relying on vague claims, this standard measures how effectively a pod reduces speech levels, helping create quieter spaces for calls, focused work, and private conversations.

Current Standard

ISO 23351-1:2020

ISO 23351-1:2020 is the international standard used to assess how effectively office pods and other enclosed furniture reduce speech levels. It gives manufacturers and customers a consistent way to measure acoustic privacy, so performance can be compared using reliable, standardised data rather than impressions alone.

What this means in practice:

  • Class A: typically 30–33dB speech reduction — best suited to areas close to busy desk spaces where stronger speech privacy is needed.
  • Class B: typically 25–30dB speech reduction — suitable near active office areas, or slightly further away from the busiest parts of the floor.
  • Class C & D: below 25dB speech reduction — better for quieter areas such as corridors or breakout zones, where sound absorption is useful but call privacy is less important.

In short: the busier the surrounding area, the higher the acoustic class you’ll usually want.

Established Methods

ISO 10140-2 & ISO 16283-1

Before ISO 23351-1:2020 was introduced, acoustic performance was often assessed using established building and product tests such as ISO 10140-2 and ISO 16283-1. These methods were originally developed for construction materials and architectural spaces rather than furniture, but they remain recognised testing standards for sound insulation.

What this means in practice:

  • They are widely recognised methods for testing sound insulation.
  • Results are usually shown as a weighted figure such as Rw, R’ or DnT,w.
  • They are not directly comparable to a DS,A rating under ISO 23351-1:2020.

Office Pod FAQs

Generally, no. Acoustic office pods are freestanding and can be moved or reconfigured without altering the building fabric, which typically places them outside the scope of planning control. However, it's good practice for businesses to ensure that pod installations comply with fire safety, ventilation, and accessibility requirements under the Building Regulations and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992. Consulting your facilities or health and safety team before installation helps confirm full compliance with internal building policies.
Office pods vary in price depending on their size, specification, and intended use. Smaller single-person pods typically start from around £3,500, while extra-large meeting pods with integrated technology options can reach £40,000 and more. Unlike traditional fit-outs, office pods require no downtime for construction, incur no dilapidation costs, and retain value if resold or relocated. As they are classed as furniture rather than fixed structures, businesses can usually claim tax relief on their purchase through capital allowances, making them a flexible and cost-effective workspace investment.
Lead times vary depending on the model and specification. Some stocked office pods are available in a limited range of colours and finishes, with delivery typically within 7–14 working days. For made-to-order pods, lead times generally range from 5–8 weeks, depending on the chosen specification, factory and delivery location. Our team will always confirm accurate lead times at the point of quotation to help you plan your workspace installation with confidence.
