Q: What are the benefits of a workplace pod/booth?
Office booths and pods are essential in modern workspace design, offering benefits that address the evolving needs of today's workforce. In open offices, where collaboration is encouraged, working pods and phone booths play a crucial role offering noise reduction, creating micro-environments that foster a quieter atmosphere, enhancing overall productivity and allowing time for private or small group reflection and focus.
Organizations can create designated spaces within open plans without the need for permanent walls, ensuring efficient use of available space. With these modular elements adjusting seamlessly to dynamic work environments, the flexibility to move and rearrange these pods ensures the workspace remains in sync.
Particularly in NHS Trusts, enclosed pods create an environment designed for virtual consultations that are private and comfortable, as well as freeing up clinical rooms for face-to-face appointments.
Q: How quiet are acoustic/soundproof pods and booths?
Good quality pods are designed to be just the right amount of quiet to make the pods peaceful, but not silent.
For enclosed booths such as Spacestor’s Video or Phone pods in the Residence family, they are designed to be soundproof, meaning a normal conversation cannot be overheard outside the pod, and the noise of a bustling office cannot interrupt or interfere with any meetings inside the pod.
With an acoustic drop seal included on the door, and laboratory tested sound reduction of -29dB for Residence Work as a an example, sound proof pods by Spacestor provide user’s with optimum working conditions for solo working in a sound-proof environment.
