Why Employees Prefer Acoustic pods
One of the biggest problems with working in an open-space office is the inability to stay quiet and focused. The incessant noise and the hustle and bustle of such places make concentrating difficult, resulting in decreased productivity and faster fatigue.
The demand for acoustic pods to quiet the office space is growing in direct proportion to the observation associated with using existing conference rooms. It turns out that the vast majority of meetings in rooms designed for at least a dozen participants today are held by 2-4 people.
From this perspective, multi-person acoustic booths not only provide comfortable conditions for business meetings (on the one hand, they guarantee discrete conversations, on the other – they do not disturb colleagues working nearby) but also optimize office space.
Acoustic Pods and Their Application
Acoustic pods, thanks to their unique structural design and finishing with noise-absorbing materials, provide a quiet, secluded place to meet, work in concentration or catch a breather during the day.
The capsules are available in various sizes, depending on the number of people they can accommodate – one, two, three, four, and six-seaters. The smallest of the capsules, designed for one person, has a practical shelf for a laptop, while the largest can accommodate a table and conference chairs.
Each model is equipped with elements that guarantee comfort and functionality: LED lighting, ventilation, and a multimedia port adapted to modern business needs.
The walls inside are upholstered with sound-absorbing colorful upholstery with a texture resembling the surface of a diamond. Glass doors provide additional soundproofing.
The noise intensity in an open-space office should not exceed 55 decibels. In most modern offices, especially those designed without proper acoustics, sound intensity reaches as high as 65 decibels. Capsules from Vank offer noise protection as low as 45 decibels. They thus provide an optimal place to work and rest.
Advantages of Acoustic pods
Adequate soundproofing promotes the exchange of ideas, reduces noise levels, and increases employee concentration and productivity. Thoughtful ergonomics, technological solutions, and premium natural materials make working in soundproof cabins as comfortable as possible.
Acoustic pods are a modern privacy solution that compromises the chaotic nature of the modern office and the quietness of a private office. Employees still have their workspace close to all their colleagues, but in such a room, they can get personal space for their professional needs. Modern cubicles have features that make them well-suited for the above use. Some of the standard options and features may include:
- Portability – many of these podiums are designed to be easily moved within the office or even to other locations outside the office (in case a change of address is needed). For such needs, the unit can be easily disassembled and transported with you.
- Acoustic walls – thanks to such partitions, the phone booth will not let in any extraneous noises or sounds.
- Ease of installation – most acoustic booths for the office are easy to install. Manufacturers state that the average installation time is about an hour.
- Ventilation system – the phone booth automatically keeps cool and has a pleasant climate inside.
- An extensive list of technical equipment in the booth.
