Acoustic office pods and soundproof booths, supplied and installed in Dubai
Fermann soundproof pods give one to six people a quiet, ventilated room inside an open-plan office. They are assembled in hours, need no construction, and move with you when the office changes.
How quiet is a Fermann pod?
Wall panels are rated at Rw + Ctr 30 dB. A normal voice inside is heard outside at roughly the level of a quiet library. What 30 dB means in practice.
Five sizes, from a phone booth to a six-person meeting room
Pick the pod by the largest group that will use it every day. Each model has the same construction, ventilation, lighting and power.
What is an acoustic office pod?
An acoustic office pod is a freestanding enclosed booth that gives people a quiet, private space inside an open-plan office. It is built from insulated panels and glass, has its own ventilation, lighting and power, and can be installed in hours without construction works.
Open-plan floors save space, but calls, video meetings and private conversations carry. Pods add quiet rooms where the office needs them, for far less disruption than building walls.
Why offices in Dubai choose pods
- No building works and usually no full fit-out approval, so a pod can be in use within days of delivery.
- The pod is your asset. Take it with you when the lease ends.
- Silenced fans replace the air about every 2 minutes, drawing cool air from the office AC.
- One supplier for pods, sit-stand desks, workstations and seating.

Where pods are used
Most pods go into offices, but the same booth works anywhere people need sound kept in or out. See all applications.
Phone calls in open-plan offices
A booth takes calls off the open floor, so callers hear no background noise and colleagues are not disturbed.
Small meetings
Most meetings involve two to six people. A pod handles them so the main meeting room is free for larger sessions.
Private solo office
A pod gives a manager or a focus worker a private room without fit-out works.
Education and training
Pods give tutors and students a quiet space for one-to-one teaching, language practice and exams.
Fermann pods in use
Phone booths, work pods and meeting pods in offices, factories, training centres and shared workspaces.

Common questions

What is an acoustic office pod?
An acoustic office pod is a freestanding, enclosed booth that gives one to six people a quiet, ventilated and lit space inside an open-plan office. It is assembled from panels rather than built, so it needs no construction works and can be moved when the office changes.
How soundproof are Fermann pods?
Fermann pods are rated Class B for speech level reduction under ISO 23351-1, tested by TÜV SÜD, meaning they cut speech by 25 to 30 dB. Wall panels have a design value of Rw + Ctr 30 dB and the interior reverberation time is about 0.25 seconds, so conversation inside becomes a murmur outside.
What size pod do I need?
Choose by the largest group that will regularly use it. The S is for one person on calls, the M for focus work or a 1:1, the ML for two or three people, the L for up to four and the XL for up to six. Our size guide compares them side by side.
How much does an acoustic pod cost in Dubai?
Price depends mainly on size, glass type, optional extras and installation access. We quote each project in AED with delivery and installation included, plus 5% VAT. Send your floor plan and the number of pods for a written quote, usually within one working day.
Do pods have ventilation and air conditioning?
Every Fermann pod has two silenced fans that replace the air about every 2 minutes, drawing cool air from the office. Pods do not have their own air-conditioning unit, so they should sit where the office AC reaches them.
Do I need fit-out approval to install a pod?
Pods are freestanding furniture and usually avoid the full fit-out approval a built meeting room needs. They still plug into building power and sit under the building fire system, so check with your landlord or free-zone authority. We can supply drawings and specifications for that check.
