Karmah Trading & Services (KTS), the only 100% Qatar-based acoustic panel manufacturer since 2004, produces a refined range of Wooden Acoustic Panels that merge natural warmth with engineered sound control. Designed and built at our Doha production facility, these Made in Qatar panels deliver the rich aesthetic of real wood while providing the acoustic performance that architects and acoustic consultants demand for high-end projects across Qatar.
Our Wooden Acoustic Panel range includes three core formats: micro-perforated panels, slatted (linear) panels, and grooved panels. Micro-perforated panels feature thousands of precisely drilled holes (typically 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm diameter) through a real wood veneer or melamine-faced MDF substrate. Behind the perforated face sits an acoustic fleece and an air cavity, together achieving NRC ratings of 0.70 to 0.95 depending on configuration. Slatted panels consist of timber or MDF slats with felt backing, creating a visually striking linear pattern while absorbing sound through the gaps between slats. Grooved panels feature parallel channels routed into the panel face, offering a clean, modern look with mid-frequency absorption.
These panels are particularly popular in Qatar's commercial and cultural architecture. In auditoriums and multipurpose halls, wooden acoustic panels control reverberation while projecting an aesthetic of quality and permanence. In executive boardrooms and C-suite offices across Doha's financial district, they provide a sophisticated backdrop that conveys authority while keeping speech private and intelligible. In luxury residential villas, they transform home cinemas and living rooms into acoustically refined spaces.
Veneer options include oak, walnut, ash, maple, teak, and cherry, all selected for compatibility with Qatar's indoor climate conditions. Melamine finishes replicate the look of natural wood at a lower cost point and offer superior moisture resistance, making them suitable for humid environments. All substrates are E1-class for formaldehyde emissions, ensuring healthy indoor air quality.
Fire performance meets ASTM E84 Class A or Class B standards depending on the finish selected. For projects requiring enhanced fire resistance, we offer intumescent-treated veneers that meet Class A without compromising visual quality. All products comply with Qatar Civil Defence regulations for interior wall and ceiling linings.
Manufacturing at our ISO 9001:2015 certified Doha facility ensures precise machining tolerances (± 0.5 mm for perforation patterns), consistent veneer matching across panel batches, and rigorous quality inspection before dispatch. ISO 14001:2015 environmental management is maintained through sourcing FSC-certified timber and recycling machining waste.
KTS Wooden Acoustic Panels are supplied with concealed fixing systems including rear-mounted Z-clips and T&G (tongue and groove) interlocking edges for seamless wall coverage. Ceiling-mount versions come with integrated suspension brackets. Our Doha installation team provides full project support from acoustic specification through to final commissioning.
Lead times for wooden acoustic panels are typically 14 to 21 working days — substantially faster than imported alternatives that often require 8 to 12 weeks. For project enquiries, contact KTS at +974 44505001 or karmah@kts-qatar.com.
