Karmah Trading & Services (KTS), founded in 2004 in Doha, is Qatar's leading provider of acoustic solutions for office environments. As the only company manufacturing acoustic panels 100% in Qatar, KTS Acoustic Studio delivers measurable noise reduction for open-plan offices, private offices, meeting rooms, and co-working spaces across Doha's West Bay, Lusail, Msheireb, and The Pearl business districts.
Modern offices in Qatar face a well-documented acoustic challenge. Open-plan layouts — favoured for their efficiency and collaborative spirit — generate excessive noise levels that reduce employee productivity by up to 66%, according to research by the World Green Building Council. In Doha's glass-and-steel towers, reflective surfaces amplify speech, HVAC hum, and equipment noise, creating reverberation times that far exceed the 0.6-second maximum recommended by ANSI S12.60 for speech intelligibility.
KTS addresses these challenges with a tailored acoustic treatment plan for every office. Our fabric-wrapped wall panels (NRC up to 1.05) absorb speech-frequency sound energy, reducing reverberation and improving clarity in meeting rooms and open floors. Acoustic ceiling clouds and baffles intercept sound before it reflects off hard ceilings, and our Silence Booths provide private spaces for phone calls and focused work without the cost of building permanent rooms.
Beyond sound absorption, KTS supplies vinyl flooring with acoustic backing (up to 19 dB impact sound reduction), carpet tiles with cushion backing (up to 28 dB), and foldable acoustic partitions (STC up to 56 dB) that transform large conference rooms into multiple acoustically isolated spaces. Every product is ISO 9001:2015 quality-certified and meets Qatar Civil Defence fire regulations.
Our process begins with a free site survey at your office in Qatar. KTS acoustic engineers measure existing reverberation time, ambient noise levels, and identify problem areas. We then specify the optimal combination of panels, ceiling treatments, flooring, and furniture-level solutions to bring your office within international acoustic comfort standards. Manufacturing at our Doha facility means lead times of just 10 to 14 days for acoustic panels — a fraction of the time required for imported products.
KTS has improved the acoustic environment in corporate headquarters, law firms, banks, government ministries, consulting firms, and co-working spaces throughout Doha. Our clients report improved employee satisfaction, reduced sick leave (noise-related stress is a documented contributor to absenteeism), and better meeting productivity following acoustic treatment.
