Acoustic Privacy Booth Guide: How to Create Privacy for Phone Calls, Video Chats & Focus Work

Understanding Acoustic Privacy

In today's dynamic work environments, privacy isn't just visual - it's auditory. Our privacy booths are engineered to create controlled acoustic environments that protect conversations, reduce noise pollution, and enhance workplace productivity.

With more and more employees returning to the office, it’s important to cater to a hybrid environment that encourages both virtual and traditional working methods. Creating a sense of togetherness can be applied when creating zones for both soft and hard work, especially areas for privacy.

We understand that finding a quiet space in a busy or open-plan office can be challenging, especially if you need to take a private call, hold a virtual meeting, or need a spot to do some focus work. To combat this, easily create an island of calm in large open areas with our sound-absorbing privacy booths, designed for smaller meetings, a spot to brainstorm or take a call.

Privacy Challenges:

Hard Architectural Finishes

For open-space offices without acoustic treatment, a privacy booth can help absorb excess noise while additionally forming spots for work, meetings, and collaboration areas without having to build walls.

Increase in the Number of Video Calls Per Day

Not enough enclosed and private spaces in the office.

Office Size

Depending on how small or large your office is, creating zones for privacy can be achieved. Choose solutions that work in your space.
