FAQs
1. Why is it not only the price that matters when buying a phone booth, but also the price-performance ratio?
High-quality telephone booths, such as our Single model, not only offer better sound insulation than extremely low-cost products, but are also known for their durability. While low-cost models often use materials that are only moderately sustainable and of lower quality, such as painted chipboard, our products are made from high-quality solid ash wood from Swiss forests and feature first-class workmanship using the latest CNC technology.
Thanks to our excellent price-performance ratio, we not only achieve consistent product quality over the years, but also extremely low maintenance costs. In the long term, this not only increases team satisfaction, but also gives office managers peace of mind and a sense of relaxation. With Shelter products, you always make the right choice.
2. What advantages does solid ash wood offer over products made from chipboard?
Solid ash wood is a robust, sustainable and durable material that is ideal for soundproofing products, not only because of its strikingly beautiful appearance, but also because of its density.
Ash wood also does not emit any chemical substances such as VOCs (volatile organic compounds), unlike coated chipboard. Ash wood can even withstand damage caused by rough force or accidents, as its hard, resistant surface means that it does not splinter as easily as chipboard or multilayer boards, for example. You can find out more about sustainability and the origin of our wood here.
3. Are Shelter Office products available immediately or are there long delivery times?
Our products currently have a standard delivery time of 6-8 weeks, but faster deliveries may be possible depending on availability.
Our goal is to work with you to complete each of your projects within the appropriate time frame, and we will always discuss the exact delivery period transparently with you when you place your order and again shortly before the delivery date.
We are of course available at any time to answer any special enquiries you may have.
4. How customisable is a phone booth or meeting booth?
Our products are designed so that our customers benefit from an extremely high level of quality at no extra cost. No unnecessary upselling, no hidden costs – we understand our craft and your requirements in purchasing and office management.
Our box comes standard with adjustable LED lighting, a power connection (230V), an electronically height-adjustable table, castors for moving it around and, of course, powerful ventilation.
However, we leave the colour of the interior up to you. Choose from 8 fabric colours and give your office a special touch. Other fabric colours are also available and can be provided on request. Fabrics of your choice, including those from your own manufacturers, can also be used after consultation and cost agreement.
5. What acoustic advantages does a professional office pod solution offer?
A high-quality telephone booth/office pod solution has many advantages that help you to be more productive and relaxed at work every day.Firstly, it reduces ambient noise, which has an enormous impact on concentration and stress reduction in the workplace.
This minimises distractions and enables ergonomic video calls, even over several hours.With Shelter products, open-plan offices become a blessing; true isolation and yet at the same time a pleasant presence with your team.
6. Is a meeting box also suitable for small teams or start-ups?
Yes, a meeting box can bring enormous advantages, especially for small teams and companies, not to mention savings on structural measures for room separation.
Meeting boxes are ideal for spontaneous, even unplanned meetings or collaboration, which are also part of everyday working life in SMEs and start-ups. Having a quiet, pleasant retreat for focused work at any time is not a luxury; it has become a practically indispensable part of everyday working life.
Our products can also be easily installed and moved in small offices, as they require significantly less space than an entire conference room and the flexible setup of the boxes allows for long-term planning with Shelter products. With our excellent price-performance ratio, we offer most customers the ideal mix of performance and budget flexibility.
7. How sustainable are Shelter's phone booths really?
Both the origin of our ash wood and the production of our products are located within a radius of only 100 km from our headquarters in Zurich, in the heart of Europe. We use Swiss wood for our products, which is certified to meet the (very high) legal requirements for species-appropriate regenerative forestry.
This not only means short transport routes and reduced emissions, but also the avoidance of unnecessary adhesives, chemicals or similar substances that harm the environment.
Furthermore, our products are naturally durable and can be reused by other customers after you have finished using them, so that the value of the wood remains intact even after many years.
