Zoning that actually holds the sound
Partitions divide the floor for the eye, not for the ear. A booth closes the zone on every side, so the conversation inside doesn't travel across the floor.
Office partitions
divide the space — not the sound.
A partition marks the boundary, but speech sails straight over it. The Silentbox acoustic booth closes the zone on every side: 25–35 dB of quiet, installed in 2–3 hours, with no building work.

Zoning an open-plan floor — no plasterboard, no approvals
Office partitions are a genuinely useful thing: they mark out areas, add visual privacy and cost a reasonable amount. If the job is to show where one team ends and the next begins, they're all you need. But physics won't be negotiated with — a structure with no ceiling, no door and no seals cannot hold speech. Sound climbs over the top and slips around the sides, so a conversation at one end of the floor is audible at the other. An acoustic booth closes the zone on every side and, instead of a visual divide, gives you real quiet of 25–35 dB. That's how an open-plan office gains proper zones: for calls, for meetings, for focused work. All of it without building walls, without landlord approvals and without touching the floor plan — the booth takes a spare square metre in a few hours, and when the layout changes it moves with it.
Four reasons to zone with booths instead of partitions
Partitions are cheaper up front, but they don't deliver quiet and they lock in the layout. Here's why booths solve the zoning problem better.
A layout without structural walls
Zones for calls, meetings and focused work appear exactly where they're missing — no plasterboard, no landlord approvals, no change to the floor plan.
Installed in 2–3 hours
The booth goes up with no drilling, no dust and no building permits. The office doesn't stop for a 'refurbishment': the zoning happens in a single day.
Re-planning without demolition
The team grows or the structure changes and the booths move to a new spot. A wall would have to come down; a booth just has to be carried.
Sound insulation of 25–35 dB: how it works
A booth's insulation comes from multi-layer panels that absorb outside noise and keep the conversation from leaking out — unlike a partition that's open at the top. The level depends on the model: 25 dB on Lite, up to 35 dB on Premium. For zones where confidential matters get discussed, 35 dB is the right level.

What zoning with booths changes on an open-plan floor.
An open floor divided by partitions
- 01Partitions divide the space, but the sound carries on regardless
- 02Structural walls mean building work, approvals and months of it
- 03The floor plan is locked in: changing the zoning gets expensive
- 04A closed-off nook with no ventilation soon becomes stuffy
An open floor zoned with booths
- 01Every zone is genuinely isolated — 25–35 dB on all sides
- 02The zoning is in place in 2–3 hours, with no construction
- 03Booths get moved when the team structure changes
- 04Each zone has its own ventilation, lighting and power socket
How to zone your office
A clear route from the floor plan review to finished zoning — four steps, no surprises.

Common questions about partitions and booths
Partitions divide the floor visually, but sound travels over the top and around the sides. A booth is closed on every side and delivers real insulation of 25–35 dB, plus its own ventilation, lighting and power socket inside. And like a partition it needs no building work: it moves when your layout changes.
By placing acoustic booths at the points where quiet and privacy are missing: Solo for calls, Duet and Quartet for meetings, WorkPod for focused work. You get proper zones with no plasterboard, no landlord approvals and no change to the floor plan.
Each booth goes up in 2–3 hours, with no drilling and no dust. Zoning a normal-sized department is usually done in a day, and the office doesn't stop for a 'refurbishment'.
Yes, and that's the main advantage over structural walls. A booth can be dismantled, taken to another floor or a new office and reassembled. When the team grows or the structure shifts, the zoning shifts with it.
A one-person booth takes up around a square metre of usable floor; Duet and Quartet proportionally more. Every model is sized for the standard goods lifts and doorways of office buildings. Exact dimensions come with your quote.
Usually not. A booth isn't a structural build: it isn't fixed to walls or floor and it doesn't alter the layout of the premises. All it needs is a level floor and a 220 V socket nearby.
The benchmark we start from is one call booth per 10–15 employees, plus meeting formats to match how many recurring meetings you run. We set the exact number from your floor plan and the way the team works.
Yes. Every Silentbox has quiet SMART ventilation built in, with an active supply of fresh air (a full air change every 2–3 minutes, noise below 30 dB), along with LED lighting and a 220 V socket with USB / Type-C.
It depends on the number and format of the booths. Current prices for every model are in the catalogue above, and a costing for your floor plan, quantity and delivery included, is ready within one working day.
Yes. We deliver office booths to more than 30 countries: they arrive in your city and each one takes 2–3 hours to install with no building work. A quote including delivery costs is ready within one working day.
Cover reaches 10 years and is split across the booth: 10 years for structure and frame, 5 years for electronics and lighting, 3 years for moving parts and ventilation.
