What is an office phone booth for?
In an open-plan office, important calls end up in the stairwell or a corridor, and the 10-seat meeting room gets booked for one person. A soundproof pod is a small, closed, quiet room that stands in the open office: you step in, close the door, and the conversation stays inside.
It is for calls and video meetings, confidential conversations (interviews, HR, clients) and focus time, with no construction and without giving up a meeting room.
How much does an office pod cost?
Solo from $5,500, Duo from $8,600 and Quattro from $12,100 (plus taxes). The price covers the complete pod: acoustic walls, tempered glass, adjustable lighting, ventilation, a power outlet, USB and a network port; the Solo also comes with its stool and fold-down work surface.
Delivery to your door is free anywhere in Canada. Installation by our team, offered in Montréal and the surrounding area, costs $700 per Solo, $1,000 per Duo and $1,300 per Quattro. Options (colours, interior felt, furniture, a frosted band) are added in the configurator, which gives the exact price and emails the quote.
Is it really soundproof?
Laboratory-measured noise reduction on the Solo is 30 ± 5 dB (ASTM E596). In practice, a busy open office, around 65 dB, fades to a murmur inside, and your conversation stays in the pod.
The walls are 53 mm thick (fire-resistant board, high-density insulation board, sound-absorbing layer), the tempered glass is 10 mm front and back, and the noise inside stays under 35 dB with the fan at full power.
Ventilation, lighting and power
- A fresh-air fan (110 m³/h on average, two speeds) renews all the air inside in 3 to 5 minutes.
- Adjustable LED ring light: 3000 K warm, 4000 K neutral, 6000 K cool.
- It plugs into a standard 110–120 V outlet: lighting, ventilation and the outlets inside all run from one cable.
- Inside: a power outlet, USB-A, USB-C and an RJ45 network port.
Does it need construction or a permit?
No. The pod is freestanding, on castors and adjustable feet: no walls to build, no contractor, no permit required. The Solo and the Duo go together in under five hours with the instructions, and the pod moves with you.
Where can it go?
- Allow about 1 m in front of the door, which opens outward.
- A ceiling of at least 2,450 mm: the pod is 2,350 mm tall.
- A power outlet nearby.
- A level floor; if your floor has a load limit, compare it with the pod's weight (table above).
- Our “Will it fit?” tool draws the pods to scale in your room.
Delivery, installation and lead time
- Free delivery to your door, anywhere in Canada.
- Installation by our team in Montréal and the surrounding area: delivered, assembled, levelled and tested.
- Made to order: 4 to 12 weeks depending on the options.
- 12-month warranty.
