Office pod questions, answered

Mostly, yes. Office pod, phone booth, acoustic pod and soundproof booth all describe the same thing, and suppliers in the Philippines use them interchangeably. Where the words do pull apart is size: a phone booth usually means the one-person size, built for calls and focused work, while a meeting pod seats two or four around a table. In this range the Solo Pod is the phone booth; the Duo and Team pods are meeting pods.

Same category again. Privacy pod and silent pod are brand and catalogue names rather than different products. What actually varies between them is the acoustic rating, the ventilation and whether power is built in, which is what the specification tables are for.

No pod is laboratory-silent. Deskup rates these at up to 25 dB (±3 dB) of reduction, which turns a busy 70 dB floor into something closer to a quiet private office. Enough for a confidential call; loud noise outside stays faintly audible.

Not at conversational volume. The pods are specified for HR conversations, interviews and client calls, which is the test most buyers actually care about.

Same rating across the range — up to 25 dB (±3 dB), the same six-layer wall construction and the same double-glazed 5 mm tempered glass.

1.10 m² for a Solo, 2.14 m² for a Duo and 3.61 m² for a Team pod, plus a walkway. The size comparator draws all three to scale.

Depends on the shape and the walkway you want. The floor planner works it out for dimensions you enter, trying both orientations.

All three pods stand 2.30 m tall. Measure the clear height under sprinklers and ducting, and leave room to stand the pod up during assembly.

The Solo Pod ships in a 233 × 59 × 120.5 cm crate at 364 kg. The Duo Pod ships in a 233 × 129 × 120.5 cm crate at 464 kg, and the Team Pod in two crates of that size. Measure the lift car’s internal depth, door opening and rated capacity before ordering.

No. Panels arrive pre-fitted and the wiring is plug-and-play. Two people assemble a Solo Pod in about 30–35 minutes and the larger pods in about 90 minutes.

Yes. Pods sit on adjustable levelling feet with concealed wheels, so they can be repositioned or dismantled and moved. Follow the dismantling instructions for your model.

Multi-unit orders are quoted by quantity. See wholesale & multi-unit.

The pod to your specification. Freight, duties, VAT, delivery and installation are quoted separately, because they depend on your site. The pricing page explains how we quote.

Pods are made to order, so lead time depends on specification and shipping. It is confirmed on your quotation rather than estimated here.
