Kahrs Oak Dublin Ultra Matt
Kahrs Oak Dublin Ultra Matt is one of the most elegant and refined floors within the Kahrs catalogue. Produced using carefully selected oak with minimal knots and a cleaner overall appearance, it offers a sophisticated alternative to more rustic timber grades whilst retaining all the natural beauty and authenticity that makes real wood flooring so desirable.
Like the oiled version of Oak Dublin, this floor celebrates the cleaner side of oak. The grain remains beautifully visible, but the overall look is calmer, more uniform and distinctly premium. The selected grading allows the eye to appreciate the natural movement and character of the timber without the heavier knots and stronger colour variation found in more rustic floors.
The result is a floor that feels effortlessly elegant. The warm natural oak tones create a welcoming atmosphere, while the generous 187mm plank width helps create a more spacious and flowing appearance throughout the room.
This is a floor that works beautifully in contemporary homes, Scandinavian-inspired interiors, luxury apartments and modern renovations where natural materials, understated design and timeless styling are priorities.
Ultra Matt Lacquer Finish
The defining feature of this floor is its advanced ultra matt lacquer finish. Designed to minimise surface reflection, the finish allows the oak to retain an exceptionally natural appearance that closely resembles an oiled floor while offering the practicality of a lacquered surface.
Many lacquered floors can introduce unwanted shine that slightly masks the character of the timber. Oak Dublin Ultra Matt avoids this completely. The low-sheen finish allows the natural grain and texture of the oak to remain the focal point, creating a softer and more authentic visual appearance.
From a practical perspective, the lacquer also provides excellent protection against everyday wear and makes routine maintenance simpler than traditional oiled flooring. For many homeowners, it offers the ideal balance between natural aesthetics and everyday convenience.

Kahrs Engineered Construction
Kahrs invented engineered wood flooring in 1941 and remain one of the world’s leading authorities on timber floor construction. Oak Dublin Ultra Matt showcases exactly why their approach has stood the test of time.
The floor features a premium 3-layer construction with a substantial 3.5mm oak wear layer supported by a stable spruce and pine core. This multi-layer design creates a floor that is significantly more dimensionally stable than solid wood, allowing it to better tolerate fluctuations in temperature and humidity.
It is also a more sustainable approach to manufacturing hardwood floors. By using premium oak where it matters most and responsibly sourced softwoods beneath, Kahrs achieves outstanding performance while making more efficient use of valuable timber resources.
This construction makes the floor suitable for underfloor heating and provides the long-term stability modern homes demand.
Wide Planks and Premium Presentation
The 187mm plank width plays a major role in the overall character of Oak Dublin Ultra Matt. Wider boards showcase more of the timber’s natural grain while creating cleaner sight lines across the room.
Combined with Kahrs’ fixed-length board format, the floor achieves a more seamless and premium appearance than many random-length alternatives. Fewer joints create better visual continuity and help rooms feel larger, calmer and more cohesive.
This effect is particularly impressive in open-plan spaces where the flooring becomes a major design feature in its own right.
Installation
Oak Dublin Ultra Matt features the advanced Woodloc® 5S click-joint system. This precision-engineered locking mechanism allows the boards to fit securely together, creating a strong and stable floor with minimal effort.
The floor can be installed as a floating floor over a suitable underlay or glued directly to the subfloor where preferred. The quality of the Woodloc® system is one of the reasons Kahrs flooring continues to enjoy such a strong reputation amongst professional installers and homeowners alike.
Sustainability and Indoor Air Quality
Sustainability has been central to Kahrs for decades. Their innovative engineered construction was originally developed to improve the efficient use of timber resources, and that philosophy continues throughout the modern range.
Combined with responsible sourcing, excellent indoor air quality standards and exceptionally long product lifecycles, Oak Dublin Ultra Matt is a floor designed to perform responsibly as well as beautifully.
Our Expert View
We often find that customers love the appearance of oiled floors but are concerned about ongoing maintenance. Oak Dublin Ultra Matt is one of the strongest solutions to that dilemma.
The ultra matt lacquer is exceptionally convincing. It retains much of the natural appearance and understated elegance associated with oil-finished timber, but with the convenience and durability many homeowners prefer.
Like Oak Berlin and the oiled version of Oak Dublin, the selected grade is a major part of this floor’s appeal. The minimal knots and cleaner grain patterns create a more sophisticated look that suits contemporary interiors particularly well. Rather than drawing attention through heavy rustic character, Oak Dublin creates interest through refinement, proportion and craftsmanship.
We particularly like this floor alongside warm neutral colour palettes, natural stone, soft textiles and modern architectural details. The combination of the selected oak grade, wide plank format and ultra matt finish creates a floor that feels calm, luxurious and timeless.
Having worked with Kahrs flooring for many years, we continue to regard them as one of the world’s finest flooring manufacturers. Oak Dublin Ultra Matt is an excellent example of why. The quality of the timber selection, the precision of the construction and the subtlety of the finishing all contribute to a genuinely premium floor that will look beautiful for decades.
For customers looking for a cleaner-grade oak floor with timeless appeal and outstanding long-term value, Oak Dublin Ultra Matt is an excellent choice.
