The Modern Office Crisis: Solving Privacy, Focus, and Stress

New **2025 data** reveals a crisis in workspace design: **75% of employees reject open-plan offices** due to a severe lack of privacy, and **90% link rigid layouts to higher stress**. Even traditional cabins fail, costing employees 86 minutes a day in distractions, with 1 in 8 workers considering quitting due to layout frustration. Below are 3 tailor-made solutions to tackle the top pain points of global companies.

1. Acoustic Glass Privacy Pods: Focus for Open Spaces 🎧

**Pain Point Resolved:** Excessive noise (56% of employees cope by wearing headphones) and a lack of confidential spaces.

Solution Details: You Space Pods

1. **Unrivaled Soundproofing:** You Space Pods from Explore Workspace Co., Ltd. offer $\mathbf{\ge 35\text{ dB}}$ sound insulation thanks to a **military acoustic structure**. This triple barrier consists of double-layer galvanized steel plates, double-layer floor-confident boards, and professional PET noise-absorbent cotton, creating a quiet environment for deep concentration or confidential meetings.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the noise isolation level of the You Space Pods?

The pods achieve a laboratory-measured sound insulation level of $\mathbf{\ge 35\text{ dB}}$, making them ideal for confidential calls and deep focus work within a noisy open-plan setting.

How is air quality maintained in the pods?

Air quality is maintained through a quiet, efficient ventilation system that automatically runs for 5 minutes every 30 minutes when the pod is unoccupied. A mandatory 5-minute cycle also runs immediately after use.

What is the $\text{NRC}$ of the acoustic screens?

The Dynamic Office Screens have a high Noise Reduction Coefficient ($\mathbf{NRC}$) of $\mathbf{0.75}$, indicating superior effectiveness in absorbing sound and reducing ambient noise in the office.

Are the products environmentally friendly?

Yes. Both the pods and screens utilize aerospace-quality aluminum alloy (a highly recyclable material) and are finished with environmentally friendly processes. The pods also feature energy-saving LED lighting.
