Optimizing Office Phone Booths with Perforated Acoustic Panels

With the increasing demand for flexible workspace design, office phone booths have become a critical part of modern offices. However, without the right acoustic treatment, these spaces can be more echo chamber than privacy pod. Perforated acoustic panels offer a precise solution—absorbing noise, preventing speech leakage, and transforming microspaces into comfort zones.

Acoustic Demands of a Small Space

Phone booths, though compact, present big acoustic challenges. Hard reflective surfaces and limited volume amplify noise and reduce voice clarity. Adding perforated acoustic panels to the walls and ceilings helps mitigate these problems by improving sound diffusion and speech intelligibility.

Recent data from ASA research show that acoustic booths equipped with perforated interiors cut internal echo times by 70%, reducing auditory fatigue for users and listeners on the other end.

Material Selection and Fire Safety

Office booth panels must meet multiple criteria: lightweight, fire-safe, eco-compliant, and high-performing. Most solutions include:

• Perforated PET felt or compressed wool face

• Non-combustible acoustic core (e.g., fiberglass or basalt fiber)

• Low-VOC coatings and recycled content

All materials should conform to ASTM E84, ISO 11925, and ASCE acoustic guidelines.

Design & Customization Possibilities

Modern office brands value aesthetics as much as function. Acoustic panels come in customizable perforation shapes, colors, and textures. They may be used to imprint brand elements or blend into minimalist interiors.

Architects often refer to Architectural Digest for integration strategies that maintain booth visibility while achieving acoustic goals. The result: sleek, productive spaces that feel like part of the main office.

Case Study: Startup Hub’s Sound Isolation Strategy

Problem: A startup accelerator installed 10 prefabricated phone booths but received user complaints about overlapping voices from adjacent units.

Approach: They upgraded each booth with laser-cut perforated PET acoustic panels and added 3D sound diffusers behind the seat back.

Results: In-call clarity improved drastically. Measured STC rose by 10 dB, and occupancy rates jumped 40%. Their design was later featured in an ASA best-practice whitepaper.

Certifications, Compliance & Health

All components were certified for WELL v2 acoustic comfort and indoor material safety. Panels emitted zero formaldehyde and were UL Greenguard Gold rated. Sound absorption reached NRC 1.05 when panels were installed on all five booth surfaces.

This setup also achieved:

• ISO 14001 environmental design targets

• LEED ID+C acoustic comfort credits

• ASTM E84 Class A fire ratings

Installation & Ongoing Use

Prefabricated booths benefit from rapid-fit panels with peel-and-stick, magnet, or concealed track options. Maintenance is minimal. A damp cloth or handheld vacuum is sufficient for cleaning.
