Looking for meeting pods with Spectral Blue disinfecting light and Quiet Mark certified sound-absorbing shells as standard? Would you also like power sockets and USB outlets to be included?

BlockO is a high performing and aesthetically striking range of acoustic meeting pods that give designers, specifiers and users maximum customisation for their specific requirement. BlockO provides an enhanced atmosphere of comfort and security for any space. All of our pods come equipped with a sound absorbing shell, disinfecting light, power sockets and USB outlets.

Open or closed?

BlockO pods are available in two models both of which come in 4-seater and 6-seater sizes.

BlockO is open on both sides and BlockO Base has one side closed, for enhanced acoustic performance and privacy.

The back of the BlockO Base has a centrally located acoustic disk which is surrounded by safety glass.

  • Spectral Blue is the world’s most advanced system for indoor surface disinfection. It helps prevent infections and reduce sick leave in workplaces by automatically and continuously eliminating pathogens from frequently touched surfaces, making your premises safe for staff and customers.

    The unique technology is based on safe, natural blue light, and has none of the risks associated with legacy disinfection methods such as ultraviolet light and chemicals.

  • In the patent-pending Spectral Blue system, blue light means natural, visible light that contains only selected antimicrobial wavelengths. The used wavelengths range from 405 nm to 470 nm.

    Unlike ultraviolet light, visible blue light is harmless to people and materials. That is why Spectral Blue is 100% safe to use indoors, even when people are present.

  • No. Spectral Blue disinfection devices operate on visible light spectrum. The blue light we use does not contain dangerous ultraviolet radiation.

    Unlike ultraviolet light (UVC, UVA, UVB), the natural blue light is safe for human and animal cells, and it does not cause eye damage. Blue light is not ionizing and does not generate ozone or degrade indoor materials.

    – Keep in mind that the devices are bright so you must not look at them directly from a close range. The same holds true for all bright LED and other kinds of light sources.

  • Yes. The complete system with Spectral Blue disinfection devices and photocatalytic coating is proven effective on SARS-CoV-2 – among with all bacteria, yeast, mold, other viruses, VOCs and odors.

    The manufacturer of the light has years of experience in this industry , providing field-proven and scientifically proven disinfection technology to professional users such as hospital operating rooms and laboratories.

    The Spectral Blue system is not something that has been quickly set up to profit from COVID-19. The pandemic has given rise to various companies making outlandish claims without any evidence. So always ask to see the scientific articles and the 3rd party test data.

  • Since its ground-breaking launch 10 years ago, in 2012, Quiet Mark, the independent global certification programme associated with the UK Noise Abatement Society, has pioneered a platform for consumers and industry specifiers to easily find the quietest high-performance products and leading solutions to unwanted noise, to support public health and wellbeing.

    When consumers and trade buyers see the distinctive Quiet Mark Q logo on a product, they trust that it has been thoroughly tested and certified as one of the quietest available on the market.

    In February 2020, they launched their Acoustics Academy to provide a new online directory of expertly verified solutions for every building type, to support the new era of responsible design.

  • Because sound measurement is complex and not easily understood, consumers don’t have

    time to evaluate and compare the sound output of each product, yet an ear-splitting juicer sounding off every morning, pings and bleeps from appliances, a rumbling shower pump or annoying extractor affects concentration, makes one irritated and builds up unnecessary stress which can affect health negatively in the long term.

    The Quiet Mark team felt it was very important for consumers and trade buyers to have an expert definitive
    guide to the quietest products currently on the market, year on year, across all product categories. Quiet Mark was created as the trusted third-party certification programme to
    serve public health, supported by expert acoustic evaluation.

  • In order for non-sound emitting, acoustic enhancing building materials and office furniture to achieve Quiet Mark certification, manufacturers are required to submit full acoustic test reports to the Quiet Mark technical team, as well as information on the different types of buildings and/or environments it could be present at. The testing, carried out to exacting ISO standards, should show the effect of sound when interacting with the product or surface. For acoustically designed products, like the BlockO and BlockO Base, need to demonstrate an acoustic benefit, such as sound absorption (to reduce reverberation and provide good speech conditions) as well as sound attenuation (to stop the spread of speech from within the booth to other areas and vice versa).
