Acoustic Office Pods & Cubicles
Turn an area of the office into additional work spaces, meeting rooms or privacy areas with the help of an Office Pod. Using partitions from our vast collection, we’ve constructed various work pods and office cubicles in different sizing, yet each pod can be fully customized.
On your request, we’re able to create a custom design, that fits specific to the provided measurements. We’ll work with you on the requirement, designing the best fit for your space. Using high quality panels from the acoustic screen range, not only uses space effeciently but controls noise well.
Each panel has acoustic foam, a fabric colour of choice and can be used in conjunction with other panels types to customize the use. Customise panels and include perspex or white boards to achieve the cubicle needed to maximise use.
As a UK manufacturer, Rap Office Screens will work with you to meet the requirements for both usage and style purposes.
Re-purpose your office space
If you have unused space in the office, now is the time to make unused space useful.
Office pods can be created with 2 to 4 walls, depending on where the pod will be located. Connecting to existing walls is possible, and would require only 2 sections of panels to create a full room. Constructing a complete, free standing pod requires 4 walls, a door and all the acoustic panels it needs.
Commonly used for meeting rooms, training areas and addition work space, the custom made cubicles are private, sound absorbing and built to last.
Whilst the majority of the screens are acoustic, other finishes can be incorporated to elevate the design and functionality.
White laminate panels are easy to clean and bring a whiteboard feature into the layout. Ideal for training and meetings as the laminate accepts dry wipe pens and is perfect for notes whilst being built into one of the walls.
Acrylic panels can be added as part of the 2 or 3 part screens, acting like a window and taking away the full enclosed feeling.
How to order your made to order Acoustic Pod
To ensure the cubicle is as planned, we have a thorough process to ensure best fit and a high quality finish.
Possibly one of the most important steps, step one is to measure the space. Accurate measurements should be taken to guarantee the pod will fit into the space without any issue. If the pod is to go near the wall, take into consideration any skirting boards, plug sockets or fixings that could affect the placement. Please take maximum measurements for the height, width and depth.
Once the measurements have been confirmed, the style of the room can be discussed. Are you looking to control noise? Do you need a door? This is the time to discuss any specifics the pod must have to meet your requirement.
To showcase the sizing, a basic drawing can be provided to sign off. From this point we’ll be able to provide a formal quotation and a lead time. Each screen and component will be made to order, please all up to 30 working days.
How acoustic pods and panels support work space
Additionally, to reusing space, there are other benefits to be gained by adding acoustic screens as part of a pod into the workplace. Acoustic screens are made with a solid core and surrounding by acoustic foam. The foam is the key material with noise absorption, reducing noise and distractions. As the fabrics are soft, they also contribute to reduced noise.
Meetings and personal conversations can take place within the pods, as noise is blocked from inside and outside. The acoustic work to reduce sound, but aren’t able to block or stop the noise completely. This should be considered when choosing the placement and the type of panels you’d like to include.
For the most effective acoustic office pod, we'd advise to have 4 walls which feature the acoustic foam and high quality fabrics. As with any space, the more soft furnishings available, the less echo and noise reverberation there will be.
Our pods are highly recommended for phone booths and meeting pods. Giving you the opportunity to reuse space in open plan areas that are other wise unused. Pods are designed with noise reduction, privacy and the ability to maximise every metre of floor space in mind.

What types/sizes of pods are available?
To cover a wide range of spaces, the size options are vast, but can be tailored to the space you have available. The pre-designed pods can be adjusted to fit into the available space you have or you can start from scratch and build your own.
We offer acoustic pods, all of which entail acoustic foam and fabric in one way or another. The importance of using foam and soft fabrics for an office pod is to reduce sound in busy areas but also provide a level of discreetion for conversations within the divided areas. Sound reduction is a tried and tested way to support productive work areas.
How are they installed?
As the design changes from pod to pod, the installation process will change slightly but we've designed them for self assembly, requiring no install team or additional costs.
However, the basics of the process include adding the feet into the base of the screen for support and easy placement. If the panel designs have a linking function, the supplied 2-way link strip connects the panels together in the correct formation. Alternatively, the panels without the linking function sit side to side to complete the formation.
What should I consider when choosing a pod/cubicle for my office?
- Acoustic performance: How loud is the current space and which screens would be support the environment correctly.
- Placement: Where will the pod sit, what other surroundings need to be taken into consderation and how much noise is in this area.
- Future proofing: As the pods are made with individual panels, think ahead of how the panels can support the business as change and growth occurs.
- Budget: Find a comfortable budget whilst keeping the main design features in place. Is acoustics, visual privacy or flexibility most important?
How does the acoustic foam work and what benefits can be gained?
Our high quality acoustic foam is an absorbent material, taking in a portion of the sound waves travelling through general noise and conversations. Whilst a full sound proof pod isn't possible, the noise can be dimmed create a more intimate space for meetings, training and one on one discussions. We manufacture office partitions with either 12mm or 24mm thick foam. For more support, shop the Nova Deluxe Acoustic Office Screens which include an acoustic material made with 100%.
Paired with a high quality fabric, the acoustic office screens include 2 absorbent layers to maximise the potential.
