Karmah Trading & Services (KTS), founded in 2004 in Doha, Qatar, designs and manufactures freestanding Silence Booths that bring acoustic privacy to open-plan offices, co-working spaces, and commercial environments across Qatar. As the only company manufacturing acoustic solutions 100% in Qatar, KTS delivers silence booths that are purpose-built for the local market — with faster delivery, local service, and designs suited to Qatar's commercial interiors.
The modern open-plan office, prevalent across Doha's business districts in West Bay, Lusail, and Msheireb, presents a fundamental tension between collaboration and concentration. Research by the Harvard Business Review shows that open offices can reduce face-to-face interaction by 73% while increasing electronic communication, partly because workers lack private spaces for focused work and confidential conversations. KTS Silence Booths solve this problem with a plug-and-play acoustic enclosure that can be installed in any office without construction work.
Our silence booth range includes three sizes: the Solo Booth (single person, 1.1×1.1 m footprint), the Duo Booth (two people, 1.4×1.4 m), and the Quad Booth (four people, 2.2×1.5 m, meeting configuration with table). All models feature a welded steel structural frame, 100 mm thick acoustic wall panels (dual-density mineral wool and plasterboard composite), a laminated acoustic glass door with magnetic seal, and an integrated ventilation system with acoustic silencers.
Acoustic performance is certified to ISO 23351-1, achieving a speech reduction index (DnT,A) of 30 dB for the Solo and Duo models, and 33 dB for the Quad model. This means a normal conversation inside the booth is inaudible to colleagues 2 metres away in a typical office environment.
Interior features include LED lighting with adjustable colour temperature (3000K–5000K), a USB-C power outlet, a wireless charging pad, an occupancy sensor (for smart building integration), and optional video conferencing equipment (monitor, camera, speakerphone). Ventilation provides 30 litres per second of fresh air per person through acoustically lined ductwork, maintaining CO2 levels below 1000 ppm even during extended use.
Exterior finishes include powder-coated steel panels in any RAL colour, real wood veneer, fabric-wrapped panels, or custom branded graphics. The booths are designed to complement Qatar's premium office fit-outs while maintaining a compact footprint that maximizes usable floor space.
KTS Silence Booths are manufactured at our Doha facility and delivered as fully assembled units (Solo and Duo models) or in flat-pack modules (Quad model) that can be assembled on-site in under four hours without specialist tools. This local manufacturing capability means lead times of 3 to 4 weeks, versus 8 to 12 weeks for imported European brands.
Fire safety compliance is assured with Class A rated wall panels and tempered safety glass. All electrical components are CE marked and meet Qatar KAHRAMAA regulations.
KTS has installed silence booths in banks, law firms, consultancies, government ministries, and co-working spaces throughout Doha. For a showroom visit or quotation, call +974 44505001 or email karmah@kts-qatar.com.
