## 02 — Application Definition
**H2:** What Is a Work Pod — and Why Its Glass Is Different
A Work Pod is a fully enclosed, single- or dual-occupancy room-in-room unit designed for **sustained individual work** — deep focus, long video calls, writing, coding, or confidential 1-on-1s. Typical footprint: **1.6 – 2.0 m wide × 1.2 – 1.5 m deep**, with a proper work surface, task chair, motion-sensor LED, ventilation, and 1–3 hour occupancy. Acoustic Work Pod Glass refers to the engineered glass panels and door leaves that deliver speech privacy while preserving the open, daylit aesthetic buyers expect — most commonly a **large observation panel in the door** plus one or two fixed wall panels. Compared with a phone booth, the glass area is larger and the occupancy longer; compared with a meeting pod, the user count is lower but the **ventilation and visual-transparency requirements are stricter**.

## 03 — Acoustic Requirements
**H2:** Acoustic & Comfort Requirements for Work Pods
| Requirement | Why It Matters in a Work Pod |
|-------------|------------------------------|
| **Speech privacy (both directions)** | 1–3 hr calls must not disturb — or be overheard by — the open office |
| **Extended-use ventilation** | Long sessions mean fan openings; cut-outs must not become sound leaks |
| **Observation / transparency** | Glass door panel signals occupancy and keeps the floor open — usually the largest glazed area on the pod |
| **Moderate STC target** | One/two voices at normal level; band STC 39–45 is the commercial sweet spot |
| **Safety & cleanability** | Tempered + laminated for commercial interiors, smooth edges for daily contact |
| **Hardware integration** | Hinge, lock, closer, finger-pull and desk-mount cut-outs seat cleanly in the glass |
| **Framing compatibility** | Seats into aluminum/steel extrusions with acoustic gaskets |
-## 04 — Recommended Glass Solutions *(Glass Selection module — the buyer's decision table)*
**H2:** Recommended Acoustic Glass for Work Pods
| Glass Solution | Typical Structure | Indicative STC* | Work Pod Use |
|----------------|-------------------|-----------------|--------------|
| Acoustic Laminated Glass | 5T + 0.76 PVB + 5T | STC 39–40 | Compact focus booth, door observation panel |
| Acoustic Laminated Glass | 6T + 1.14 PVB + 6T | STC 41–43 | **Most common — wall panel + door** |
| Acoustic Laminated Glass | 8T + 1.14 PVB + 8T | STC 43–45 | Premium dual-occupancy work pod |
| Acoustic Insulated Glass | 6T + 12/16Ar + 6T | STC 42–44 | Enhanced privacy + thermal control |
| Acoustic Laminated Insulated | 6T+PVB+6T + 16Ar + 6T | STC 46–48 | Executive / confidential work pod |
*\*Indicative glass-only rating. Final pod performance depends on frame, seals, door drop seal, ventilation labyrinth and assembly (ASTM E90 / ISO 10140 for glass; ISO 23351-1 for the complete pod).*

## 05 — Glass Structure Diagram
**H2:** Typical Glass Build-Ups for Work Pods
**Standard Wall / Door Panel (most common):**
```
6 mm Tempered Glass
↓
Acoustic PVB Interlayer (1.14 mm)

```
**Door Observation Panel (slim, safety-first):**
```
5 mm Tempered Glass
↓
Acoustic PVB Interlayer (0.76 mm)
↓

```
**Premium Dual-Occupancy Wall (IGU option):**
```
6 mm Tempered Glass
↓
16 mm Argon Cavity (warm-edge spacer)
↓

## 06 — Acoustic Performance & Testing
**H2:** Acoustic Performance
- **Glass-only STC:** 39–45 (by configuration; overlaps the top of Phone Booth range and the bottom of Meeting Pod range by design)
- **Rw (EN ISO 717-1):** up to 44 dB
- **Speech-band tuning:** Acoustic PVB targets 1000–4000 Hz; asymmetric panes (5+6 or 6+8) push the coincidence dip below the speech range
- **Pod-level reference:** Glass solutions engineered for work pods evaluated under **ISO 23351-1**; commercially available work pods commonly target **Class B** (good speech privacy, lighter weight) or **Class A** (HR / legal / finance). Only A and B reliably guarantee speech privacy at typical 40–50 dB office ambient
- **Test standards:** ASTM E90 / E413, EN ISO 10140 (glass); ISO 23351-1 (complete pod)
- **The honest caveat:** *Glass STC is necessary but not sufficient — a pod can lose 5–10 dB at the door seals and vent. We supply calculation support and seal-detail recommendations, not just glass.*

## 08 — Integration With the Work Pod
**H2:** Acoustic Glass Integration for Work Pods
The glazing only performs as well as its weakest junction — for a work pod, the **door and ventilation openings** are those weak points.
- **Door observation panel** — laminated safety glass, usually the largest transparent area; paired with acoustic drop seal + perimeter compression gasket
- **Fixed wall panels** — seat into aluminum/steel extrusions with EPDM acoustic gaskets; avoid hard-flanking head and jamb lines
- **Frameless / minimal-frame corners** — structural silicone option for brand-led designs
- **Hardware templates** — Assa Abloy, Dormakaba, GEZE, Hafele hinge/lock/closer centres machined to **±0.5 mm**
- **Ventilation & power cut-outs** — HDMI/grommet/USB/power holes with recommended baffled or plug detail so the "speaking tube" effect is killed
- **Desk / work-surface mounting** — bracket holes and notches for integrated desk systems
- **Occupancy & lighting pass-through** — sensor/LED wire routing without breaking the acoustic seal

## 12 — FAQ
**H2:** Frequently Asked Questions
1. **What STC should a work pod glass have?** For single-occupancy focus work, STC 39–43 glass is the commercial standard. Dual-occupancy or confidential use targets STC 43–45, moving toward the Class A / B ISO 23351 range.
2. **Is laminated glass enough for a work pod?** Yes for most — 6+1.14PVB+6 ≈ STC 42, with the PVB layer providing both damping and post-breakage safety. Move to IGU or composite for executive/private pods.
3. **Can the door observation panel match the wall STC?** Largely yes — a laminated door leaf + acoustic drop seal + compression gaskets closes the gap to within 2–3 STC points of the wall.
4. **Can you machine holes for ventilation and power?** Yes — CNC grommet, HDMI, USB, power and sensor holes; we advise a baffled/plug detail so openings don't become sound leaks.
5. **Do you supply Low-Iron for premium work pods?** Yes — Low-Iron acoustic laminated glass reaches ~91% VLT, ideal for the door observation panel and brand-led interiors.
6. **Can glass-only STC be guaranteed for the whole pod?** No — only the glass STC is certifiable per ASTM E90. Pod ASTC depends on your frame/seal/vent assembly; we provide a calculation note and detailing guidance.
7. **What is the maximum door panel size?** 1000 × 2400 mm standard; jumbo wall panels up to 2440 × 5000 mm.
8. **Can you match our hardware template?** Yes — send DWG/DXF with hinge, lock, closer and finger-pull centres; machined to ±0.5 mm.
9. **Lead time for an OEM order?** Samples **10–14 days**; bulk production **25–35 days** FOB, depending on build mix.
10. **Do you provide test reports?** Yes — lab STC report for the specified build-up plus an acoustic calculation note for the complete system.
