Office pod answers.

Certified office pods usually cost about $6,000 to $30,000, by size and brand. PrivacyPod prices start at $6,395 for one seat, $9,495 for two, $12,495 for four and $14,995 for six. ADA pods start at $24,795. Shipping is free in the lower 48, and furniture is extra on most models. See every office pod.

A PrivacyPod L Pod with furniture, delivered and installed, starts at $14,390 before sales tax. The total is $12,495 for the pod, $395 for furniture and from $1,500 for our installation team, with free shipping in the lower 48. Send your models and delivery ZIP for your exact, itemized total.

Every PrivacyPod comes with laminated safety glass, acoustic panels, fans and a motion-sensing LED light. Power is built in: 120 V outlets and USB charging. Standard, Arc and lactation pods add an occupancy light, hidden casters and leveling feet. Furniture is extra on most models. See the spec sheets.

Yes. PrivacyPod prices two or more pods as one project, and any discount shows as its own line on your quote. Tell us your pod count and delivery ZIP to get the number.

Office pods cost so much because each one is a small room: laminated safety glass, acoustic panels, fans, lighting and power. Certified pods also go through independent lab testing. PrivacyPod sells factory-direct at published prices, with no distributor or dealer markup.

Usually. A four-person PrivacyPod L Pod with furniture and installation starts at $14,390, arrives in 1 to 2 weeks on Quick-Ship and installs in hours, while building a small conference room typically runs $40,000 to $65,000 and takes one to three months. The pod can also move when the floor plan changes.

Office pods are soundproof enough for private calls, though none blocks every sound, and a closed PrivacyPod keeps a normal conversation to a murmur outside. Every PrivacyPod office pod is ISO 23351-1 Class A certified, with ~30 dB speech level reduction, based on independent laboratory testing.

People outside can tell someone is talking, but a normal conversation inside a closed PrivacyPod becomes an unintelligible murmur a few feet away. A raised voice carries further, so keep a pod used for anything loud away from the quietest desks.

Every PrivacyPod office pod has ~30 dB speech level reduction. Independent lab results under ISO 23351-1 are 30.5 dB for the S Pod, 30.8 dB for the L Pod and 30.9 dB for the Arc S Pod. Ask other makers for the same test, since a figure from another test cannot be compared.

ISO 23351-1 Class A means a pod lowers speech by about 30 to 33 dB in the lab test written for office pods. The test measures the whole pod, fans included. STC and NIC test walls and rooms, so their numbers do not line up with it.

A PrivacyPod has fans, not air conditioning, so it is only as cool as the room around it. Silent ventilation fans replace the air every 41 to 66 seconds on Standard and Arc pods. Keep the room between 60 and 80 °F.

Yes. A motion sensor starts the light and fans as you step in. On Standard, Arc and lactation pods, a timer also refreshes the air while the pod is empty, and a light outside shows whether the pod is free. See the control panel guide.

No. Every PrivacyPod plugs into one standard 120 V wall outlet on a cord about 8 ft long, and nothing is hardwired. If your nearest outlet is far from the spot, ask us before you order. See the pod placement guide.

Yes. Wi-Fi works normally inside a PrivacyPod, so phones and laptops keep their internet connection. A wired Ethernet port is a made-to-order add-on for Standard pods and comes on ADA pods. Arc pods have no wired port.

Choose a PrivacyPod by seats: S Pod for one, M Pod or SL Pod for two, L Pod for up to four and XL Pod for up to six. Plus and Arc versions seat the same. Footprints run from 3.5 x 3.3 ft to 8.5 x 8.6 ft. See every size.

An office pod is a soundproof room you add to an open office for private calls and meetings, with no building work. PrivacyPod office pods plug into a wall outlet and install in hours. One-seat pods are often called phone booths, and larger ones meeting pods.

Published ratios run from one focus room per 4 employees (Fentress Architects) to one phone booth or focus room per 6 to 12 desks (Kita Design), and no standards body sets a number. Size to your busiest day, then try your headcount in our pod placement guide.

A PrivacyPod needs a ceiling of about 96 in for Standard and ADA pods, about 91 in for the Arc S Pod and about 93 in for the Arc SL and Arc L Pods, counting 4 to 6 in above the roof for airflow. Leave 4 in on the cord side and keep the door side clear. See the pods measured.

PrivacyPod office pods weigh from 595 lb for the Arc S Pod to 1,728 lb for the XL Pod. The S Pod weighs 606 lb, the L Pod 1,366 lb, the L ADA Pod 1,327 lb and the XL ADA Pod 1,603 lb. If your floor has a load limit, send us the number.

Yes. Every PrivacyPod arrives flat-packed, so our installation team can bring it up by freight elevator or stair carry, panel by panel if the crate will not fit, which can change the install price. Without installation, delivery stops at your dock or curb. Tell us the floor when you ask for a quote.

PrivacyPods are built for indoor use, on a level, dry floor in a climate-controlled space between 60 and 80 °F. A warehouse or garage works only if it meets that, and outdoors does not.

The PrivacyPod L ADA Pod and XL ADA Pod are built to ADA accessibility requirements. Both have a roll-in threshold, a 37.4 in clear doorway, an automatic door, a touchless switch and full wheelchair turning space. Standard, Arc and lactation pods do not have a flush entry, so they are not ADA pods. See the ADA pods.

Furniture is built into PrivacyPod Arc pods and the L Pod Plus, and extra on other models. It adds $195 to the S Pod or S Pod Plus, $295 to the M Pod or SL Pod, $395 to the L Pod and $595 to the XL Pod. Most other pods can also ship empty for your own desk or chairs.

Every color costs the same: Standard PrivacyPods come in 7 exteriors and 14 interiors, and Arc pods in 9 colors. White with Ash and Arc in Haze arrive in 1 to 2 weeks. Other colors take 9 to 11 weeks. PrivacyPod does not mix custom shades, but side panels can carry your logo, made to order. Request free samples.

Every Standard, Arc and ADA PrivacyPod takes an add-on monitor mount that holds up to 25 lb, on a side wall or solid back wall. The SL Pod and up can also take a partial solid back wall for a cleaner backdrop on video calls.

Yes, on Standard PrivacyPods, with frosted film that covers part or all of the front glass or switchable glass that turns clear or opaque on demand. Both options are made to order, so expect 9 to 11 weeks, and switchable glass can add about a week.

Yes. A keyed locking handle is an add-on for Standard PrivacyPods and stays on Quick-Ship, and both lactation pods include one. Arc and ADA pods do not take it. Standard and Arc doors hinge on the right, and a left hinge is made to order.

Standard PrivacyPods have a 6061 aluminum frame, a choice of furniture and the widest range of add-ons. Arc pods have an upholstered curved shell, built-in furniture and a touch console, and stand 86.9 to 88.5 in tall against 91.6 in for Standard. Both are ISO 23351-1 Class A certified, with ~30 dB speech level reduction.

Yes. The PrivacyPod Solo Lactation Pod costs $10,995 and the XL Family Lactation Pod costs $13,495, plus furniture. Both are fully enclosed, with a locking handle and an in-use light outside, and both arrive in 1 to 2 weeks in White with Ash. See the lactation pods.

PrivacyPod Quick-Ship pods typically arrive in 1 to 2 weeks from a US warehouse. Quick-Ship means White with Ash, or Haze on Arc pods, with any furniture. Other colors, ADA pods and made-to-order add-ons take 9 to 11 weeks from signed agreement and deposit. Quick-Ship orders can wait until your site is ready, with any storage fee on your quote.

Shipping is free on every PrivacyPod order in the lower 48 states. Alaska, Hawaii, Canada and other destinations worldwide get a separate freight line on your quote. Quick-Ship orders take about 2 to 4 weeks to Alaska, and about 2 to 3 weeks to Hawaii after leaving the mainland. See shipping and delivery.

A PrivacyPod arrives flat-packed in one or two crates on a freight truck. Without installation, the carrier calls 24 to 48 hours ahead and delivers to your dock or curb by liftgate. If you add our installation team, they receive the crates, set a date with you, then deliver and build the pod.

No. A loading dock or forklift helps, but curbside delivery by liftgate works too. For delivery we only need the ship-to address, dock or curb, receiving hours and an on-site contact.

Our nationwide installation team builds a PrivacyPod in 3 to 10 hours with 2 or 3 installers, if you add it to your quote. An experienced facilities team can build the smaller models from the manual we ship with every pod. See the installation guides.

PrivacyPod prices white-glove installation separately, starting at $900 for the Arc S Pod. The S Pod starts at $1,000, the M Pod and SL Pod at $1,250, the L Pod at $1,500, the XL Pod at $1,800 and ADA pods at $2,200. Availability and quotes vary by region, access, labor rules and pod count.

Yes. Every PrivacyPod ships with a manual, and an experienced facilities team can build the smaller models. We recommend our installation team for the L Pod and up. Building it yourself does not void the warranty on covered defects, but alignment problems, glass or seal damage and acoustic changes afterward are not covered. See the installation guides.

Usually no, since a PrivacyPod is freestanding and plugs in, but rules vary by city. San Francisco, for one, requires a building permit and floor anchoring, plus sprinklers in pods 4 ft or wider, and some installs require seismic anchoring. Ask your building manager and fire marshal before you order.

Sometimes. San Francisco's building department requires sprinklers in pods 4 ft or wider, and other cities set their own rules by pod size, so ask your fire marshal early. PrivacyPod can quote a sprinkler drop-through tied to your building's system, or a self-contained suppression unit on Standard and ADA pods and the Arc L Pod.

Yes. PrivacyPod offers seismic floor brackets as an add-on, and some installs require them. The brackets fix the leveling feet to the floor, and your project engineer sets the final anchor pattern.

Yes. Standard and Arc PrivacyPods roll short distances on hidden casters once any anchors are off and the feet are raised. The floor must be hard and level, with no threshold over 1/4 in. A move to another room or floor means taking the pod apart, so call us first. ADA pods have no casters.

Yes. PrivacyPod takes purchase orders, sends W-9s and certificates of insurance, and applies tax-exempt certificates to formal quotes. Net terms are case by case.

Yes. PrivacyPod takes returns on every model and configuration within 60 days of delivery, if the pod is unused, unassembled and still in its crate. Approved returns carry a 50% restocking fee, and freight both ways is yours. Cancellations before production starts are fully refundable. Read the refund policy.

We design every PrivacyPod and build it in our manufacturing facility, which produces thousands of pods a month. The company was founded in 2022 and is headquartered in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
