Office phone booths compared: Framery or Silentbox
Framery has been building office pods in Tampere since 2010 and effectively defined the category: 500+ distribution partners in 68 countries (maker’s data), a recognisable design and smart features like the Framery One touch panel. If you are shortlisting pods, Framery is probably already on the list — deservedly so.
Silentbox builds pods in its own factory, with an EU warehouse hub in Wrocław: certified insulation of up to 35 dB (ISO 11957; also tested to ISO 23351-1), a warranty of up to 10 years and installation in a few hours. More than 500 installations in 28 countries — including the UN, PwC, Bolt, Uklon, Megogo and Genesis. Instead of retelling anyone else’s specs, we put the facts side by side — compare line by line.

Common questions about Silentbox and Framery
How is Silentbox different from Framery?
The main differences are acoustic data, warranty and lead times. Framery One is rated Class A to ISO 23351-1 (30 dB Ds,A, maker’s data); Silentbox Premium offers certified insulation of up to 35 dB to ISO 11957 — the two standards measure different things. The Silentbox Premium frame warranty runs up to 10 years; Framery gives 5 years on materials and workmanship and 2 years on wear parts and electronics (warranty terms of 1 March 2024). Silentbox pods ship across Europe in 10–25 days from the EU hub in Wrocław.
Framery or Silentbox — which one to choose?
If your company is global and the Framery standard is already approved elsewhere, consistency makes sense. If the decision is yours, compare lead times, warranty and service: Silentbox ships across Europe in 10–25 days from the Polish hub, installs in a few hours and handles its up-to-10-year warranty itself as the manufacturer.
How can I verify the acoustics before buying?
Check which standard each figure refers to: ISO 11957 and ISO 23351-1 (speech level reduction, Ds,A) measure different things, so their numbers cannot be compared head to head. Then listen for yourself: the online Sound Lab on the Silentbox site compares noise levels outside and inside the pod.
What are Silentbox lead times?
Silentbox production takes 3–6 weeks, delivery across Europe takes 10–25 days from the Wrocław hub, and installation takes a few hours with no renovation or permits. If your project has a hard deadline, tell us the date and we will confirm feasibility before you commit.
Who already works in Silentbox pods?
Silentbox has more than 500 installations in 28 countries: the UN, PwC, Bolt, Uklon, Megogo and Genesis among them. We will share case studies from your industry together with your quote.
