Simple habits that prevent issues:
We recommend annual professional inspection covering:
Symptom: More outside noise audible than when new
Causes: Worn door seals (most common), panel joint degradation, glazing seal failure
Solution: Inspect and replace seals; typically a straightforward DIY fix or quick professional visit
Symptom: Stuffy air, odours, or visible condensation
Causes: Blocked filters, fan failure, obstructed vents
Solution: Check and clean/replace filters; verify fan operation; clear any obstructions
Symptom: Door rebounds, wont latch, or has visible gap
Causes: Hinge adjustment needed, frame settling, seal interference
Solution: Adjust hinges (usually simple hex key adjustment); check floor level; inspect seals
Typically every 3-5 years with normal use. Higher-traffic pods may need replacement sooner. Signs include visible wear, reduced compression, or noticeable increase in sound transmission.
We recommend using original specification filters. Third-party filters may not fit correctly or provide equivalent air flow, potentially affecting ventilation performance or acoustic sealing.
Individual panels can be replaced without disassembling the entire pod. Contact us for replacement parts - the modular design means repairs are straightforward.

Schedule maintenance during lowest-use periods. The 10-15 minute weekly clean can often be done between bookings. Annual service can typically be completed in 1-2 hours during a planned maintenance window.
