In a busy call centre, every voice adds to the noise. Acoustic desk screens absorb speech at each workstation, so agents hear their callers – not the person next to them – and customers hear less background noise.

Planning tips for call centre screens
Go taller
Choose 450–600mm above the desk so the screen sits at head height, where speech is loudest.
Screen both sides
On bench desks, add side screens between agents as well as front screens between rows.
Treat the room
Add acoustic wall panels to cut echo, and phone booths for private calls.

Frequently asked questions
What height desk screen is best for a call centre?
For phone-based teams we recommend 450–600mm above the desk. Taller screens sit at head height, where they absorb more of each agent’s voice and block the view of colleagues opposite.
Do acoustic desk screens reduce call centre noise?
Yes. Acoustic screens have a sound-absorbing core that soaks up speech instead of reflecting it across the room, so each agent’s calls travel less far. They absorb sound rather than block it completely, so for very noisy rooms combine them with wall panels.
How do the screens fit to call centre desks?
Most screens clamp to the desk edge with 28mm, 50mm or 70mm clamps, or fit with bench brackets on back-to-back desks. Floating brackets leave room for monitor arms.

Yes. We regularly supply full floors. Send us your floor plan and desk sizes and we will quote for screens, fixings and installation.
