5 things to check before buying a phone booth

1. Acoustics

Soundproofing is paramount in a phone booth. While wall thickness plays a significant role, it's not the only factor. Some manufacturers focus solely on increasing wall thickness, which can lead to exorbitant prices without proportional benefits. Look for these elements and check how Poddie stands out in each area:

  • Multi-layer wall construction. Our 6-layer walls provide excellent sound insulation without excessive bulk or cost to ship and install it like other brands.Door design that ensures a tight seal. We have gaskets on all four sides, a door handle which firmly presses the door onto the gasket, glass door and an aluminium door frame.

  • Door design that ensures a tight seal. We have gaskets on all four sides, a door handle which firmly presses the door onto the gasket, glass door and an aluminium door frame. 

  • Balanced air exchange system that maintains soundproofing. We have an acoustic sound trap which. Remember also that wall thickness is irrelevant if sound can escape through the ventilation or underneath the door.

By optimising these elements, Poddie achieves superior acoustics without the premium price tag. We've proven that with the right combination of features, you can have it all – quality soundproofing at an affordable price.

2. Air quality

A well-ventilated booth is essential for comfort and productivity. Many booths on the market fall short in this area, but Poddie excels. Key features to consider include:

  • Number and placement of fans. Unlike the standard two-fan setup for most brands, we use four fans (two at the top, two at the bottom) for more efficient air circulation. Our fans setting ensures that we can push the air into the phone booth and extract the used air at the same time, which is the ideal situation. 

  • Air change frequency. Our system completely refreshes the air every 2 minutes, grants the wind-chill effect (the airflow is designed to create a refreshing feeling, crucial in small enclosed spaces) and the acoustic sound traps that allow the air to flow freely while absorbing sound.

  • Noise level of the ventilation system. With Poddie, our 4 fans are installed on Anti-Vibration foam, which keeps the natural noise of the fans as low as possible and reduces the vibration.

With Poddie, you get superior air quality without compromising on acoustics or comfort.

3. Usability

Practical features enhance the user experience. Check for:

  • Strategic LED lighting. Poddie has optimally placed for video calls, reducing unflattering shadows.

  • Convenient power solutions. We have well-placed sockets and USB ports for all your devices.

  • Smart storage. Our products have integrated compartments for your essentials.

  • Ergonomic options. Features like our balance stool and adjustable table (in selected models) promote comfort during extended use.

These thoughtful touches make Poddie booths not just a place to make calls, but a space where you can work efficiently and comfortably.
