Acoustic Meeting Pods
When a dedicated meeting room isn’t present, Rap Office Screens have made it easier than ever to add your own. Constructed with a collection of office panels, we’ve designed various office meeting pods for various floor spaces with useful features.
Formed with free standing screens with an acoustic or acrylic nature, the pods provide the environment with many advantages that support an office setting. The booths have taken into consideration noise, privacy and the basic needs of adding a new permanent feature into the workplace.
Take an open plan area, and effectively transform in to a cost effective work pod. Suitable for meetings, phone booths, additional working space all whilst restructuring the office layout.
Choose from a wide range of fabrics to add colour and style to the partitioned space. A combination of upholstered acoustic panels, perspex and laminate form the ideal setting for meetings and time away from the larger office space.
Types of Acoustic Meeting Pods
The enclosed rooms include 4 walls and a door, replicating a room but with a freestanding style. Rather than taking the route of big costs and permanent builds, a free standing pod can be erected in the space at any time. Whilst also having the scope for changes of layout in the future.
Half pod designs have a more relaxed approach with 2 walls and rather than a full room, only a section of the office is needed. Use the L shape acoustic screens to provide enough coverage of a table and seating with restricted vision.
Alternatively, the Morton meeting pod doesn’t require doors, as the entrance points make the double pod design feel welcoming. The S shape creates 2 separates spaces to be used at the same time, without causing any disruption. As part of the layout, the easy clean laminate adds a white board feature which is incredibly useful for training and meeting purposes.
How are the meeting spaces created?
To keep the installation process as easy as possible, we use various screens from our wide collection of office screens. Connecting the panels takes little time and requires the use of the supplied linking strip. The flexibility of the link strip allows for the corners to be made at a 90 degree angle.
For even easier layouts, the non linking panels sit edge to edge.
Acoustic, acrylic and laminate partitions
The acoustic panels include either a 12mm or 24mm acoustic foam, which is the main layer needed to support loud work areas. Acoustics make up the majority of the pod, as the meeting space should have increased privacy away from the remainder of the office.
Acrylic when paired with an acoustic panel removes the full solid effect of the panel and welcomes a window like feature.
Not only do the Laminate office screens have a clean look, but when added to the configuration, helps to save space and keep the panels functional. The laminate is compatible with dry wipe pens, so part of the meeting wall also acts a white board for meeting notes and training details.
FAQ's
How will the meeting pod improve office productivity?
The idea behind the meeting pod is to have a space away from the main office where you’ll be able to hold meetings and discussions in private. In an open plan area where it can be harder to have those meetings, the self build pod utilizes space in a positive way.
Will they block external visibility?
Using high panels that have the acoustic finish, when installed the panels will block the ability to look in and outside of the pod. Privacy can be lacking in open offices, so the pod walls decrease visibility which can be useful when shielding is required for meetings, training and one on ones.
Can the pod be placed anywhere in the office?
Providing you have the space available, the pods can sit comfortably in most work spaces. All we ask is that you ensure all measurements are correct, that any wall fixings and skirting boards are taken into consideration and the environment works well for screens. (i.e no areas with high humidity etc).
Are the pods a permanent fixture?
That is completely up to you. Whilst the pods have a design that considers long term placement, it won’t require any changes to the current walls or structure of the office. For this reason, you’ll be able to adapt the pod in size, shape or placement across the years.
Delivery of a pod
The delivery of a meeting room will take place as a pallet delivery, where all components of the room are secured to a wooden pallet. Rap office screens make the pallet to best fit the screens and ensure a safe journey from us to you.
A single or double pallet may be required, on either a next working day or 3 working day service (delivery times exclude the manufacture lead time). View the full details of the delivery and what to expect on the day.
