Available for cost savings but consider:
Clear the installation area completely. Mark the footprint using the supplied template. Ensure floor is clean and dry.
Assemble the aluminium floor frame using the precision corner brackets. Level using adjustable feet - critical for door function and acoustic sealing.
Panels connect via concealed cam locks. Work around the perimeter, ensuring each panel seats fully before proceeding. Apply acoustic sealant to joints as specified.
Ceiling panels lift into position and secure to wall panel tops. LED lighting is pre-wired; connect to the central control module.
The door is the most precision-critical element. Hang door on pre-mounted hinges, adjust until gap is uniform, then set the automatic door bottom seal.
Connect the supplied power cable to the integrated distribution panel. Test all circuits: lighting (various levels), ventilation (all speeds), power outlets.
Check door closure and seal compression. Test ventilation airflow. Verify lighting controls. Complete installation checklist.
No. Pods are freestanding furniture, not construction. No planning permission, building regulations approval, or landlord structural consent required in most cases.
Yes, with appropriate load distribution. We recommend checking with your flooring supplier for point load capacities and may suggest spreader plates for heavier pods.
We offer reduced-height configurations for spaces down to 2.2m. Contact us for options - acoustic performance may be slightly reduced in compact configurations.
Absolutely. Pods are designed for disassembly and relocation. The process takes approximately the same time as initial installation.
Palletised delivery requires forklift or pallet truck access. Individual panel delivery (standard for upper floors) requires lift access or stairwell width of at least 800mm.
