Office Phone Booth Buying Guide
A good office phone booth gives one person a private, ventilated space for calls and video meetings. Before buying, check the external footprint against your floor plan, the acoustic approach (ask for verified figures, not just the word 'soundproof'), ventilation for longer calls, power and lighting, and how the booth reaches its final position.

Size and footprint
Measure where the booth will stand, including door swing and circulation space around it. Adacon confirms exact dimensions per model with your quote.
Acoustics — ask for evidence
Every supplier claims quiet; few publish tested figures. Our booths are designed to reduce external noise and improve speech privacy, and we publish independently verified acoustic figures only once testing is complete. Treat any unverified dB number — ours included — with caution.
Ventilation and comfort
A sealed box gets stuffy on a long call. Check how the booth moves air and whether the ventilation suits extended use.
Power, lighting and connectivity
Check for power outlets, USB or USB-C charging, lighting (and whether it is sensor-controlled) and Ethernet if you need wired connectivity for video calls.
Delivery and installation
Confirm how the booth is delivered, whether it fits through your doors and lifts, and whether installation is included or itemised separately.
Common questions
- Are office phone booths soundproof?
- No booth is completely soundproof. A well-built booth reduces external noise and improves speech privacy; exact performance depends on specification, and verified figures should come from independent testing.
- Where should a phone booth go in an office?
- Close to the teams who use it most, away from quiet-focus zones, with its door swing clear of walkways.
- Can one person work all day in a phone booth?
- Phone booths are designed for calls and shorter focus sessions. For full-day private work, look at a larger work pod such as the Adacon Duo.
