Office Pods

Our fabric-covered meeting pods and partitions are made with an internal wooden core in chipboard, MFC or MDF (wood formed from wood chips, bonded into a particleboard, impregnated with paper and sometimes a resin). This wood is easy to cut and shape and is how most office furniture is constructed. This internal core is then upholstered in a fire-retardant fabric and finished with a PVC or aluminium frame. 

For our standard fabric-covered office partitions & meeting pods, the wooden screen core is cut to a specific size of height and width, depending on your requirements, on a wall-mounted panel saw. Any CNC work is then done, for edging, grooves or recesses needed for the particular style of partition. Once the screen is manufactured the core is upholstered in a durable, fire retardant furniture fabric. Some screen fabric requires gluing, especially if it is curved, or it is stapled to the wooden core. Stapling fabric to a core, or ‘carcass’ is the same construction method used in chair and sofa upholstery. At this point of construction, wipeable laminates, anti-microbial surface preparations or pinnable material can be applied.

Once cutting and fabric upholstery have been completed, partitions are then edged or framed with either a PVC or aluminium edging strips or framework to aid aesthetical appearance, rigidity or for linking capabilities. If the screens are to be linked, an additional linking strip is included so you can join multiple screens together to allow you the functionality of partitioning large areas or segregating offices with increased stability and safety.

Stabilising feet, castor wheels, linking sections or desk clamps are made from pressed steel that is powder coated for durability. At this stage these are added to your screen order which is then all carefully packed in protective polythene and protective cardboard. Foam corners are added to the corners of the screen to protect it during transit.

Our Glazed and Partially Glazed office pods feature a combination of fabric-covered screens and thermally toughened safety glass panels with an aluminium frame for a floor-to-ceiling meeting pod solution.

Our bespoke office pods are tested and rated at 29dB noise reduction based on half the panels being fabric and half glazed. Certificate No. 22348 T01.

There are many factors that will affect the dB rating such as the size of the office pod, internal furniture, number of people inside the room etc. If you need further help, please contact our team for more information. 

Our custom glass pods can be personalised with a range of manifestations including spots/stripes or as bespoke company logos and artwork. They are typically supplied in opal frosted vinyl but alternative colours and styles are available on request.

Our glass office pods are manufactured from 4mm thick safety glass and when installed by our installation team, are incredibly safe to use.Toughened glass, also known as Tempered Glass is four to five times stronger than standard annealed float glass and if broken, disintegrates into small fragments with dulled edges that are less likely to cause injury. Tempered glass is resilient to scratches, easy to clean to maintain a smear free finish.

Sound-absorbing walls and acoustic partitions do work; their effectiveness depends on the size of the office, the number of people talking or on the phone at one time versus the amount, height and thickness of the acoustic screens as well as the number of panels used.

How and where you use your acoustic dividers is crucial; sound-absorbing screens and panelling should be placed where sound waves will bounce back. The panels and screening will absorb a percentage of the sound waves and sound reverberation will be reduced.

A combination of desk partitions, freestanding acoustic screens, panelling and ceiling mounted baffles will have the greatest effect. For advice and solutions on reducing your workplace noise, please get in touch with our team.
