5 Fantastic Benefits of Choosing an EPD-Declared Floor
For architects focused on sustainability, an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is an essential tool for making informed material choices. An EPD provides transparent, third-party verified data on a product’s environmental impact throughout its lifecycle, from raw material extraction to disposal. Choosing an EPD-declared wooden floor brings several advantages to your project:
1. Documentation – Easily integrate certified flooring into green building certifications such as LEED, BREEAM, or DGNB, ensuring compliance with environmental standards.
2. Carbon Footprint Transparency – Understand the CO₂ impact of the flooring material and its contribution to reducing emissions in your project.
3. Informed Material Selection – Compare environmental performance across products, helping you meet project-specific sustainability goals.
4. Responsible Sourcing – EPDs often align with FSC® and PEFC-certified wood, supporting responsible forest management and traceable supply chains.
5. Long-Term Performance – Opting for a high-quality, durable wooden floor ensures longevity, reducing material replacement needs and lifecycle costs.
EPD-declared flooring is more than just a responsible choice - it’s a strategic decision that enhances the environmental credibility of your architectural vision.
