Eight months from today (June 20, 2026), every active Allwood Group engineered‑wood flooring EPD reaches its renewal window in February 2027. If fresh declarations do not post before then, specifiers on projects that require current product‑specific EPDs will likely pivot to competitors with valid wood‑flooring EPDs. The commercial takeaway is simple. Renew on time to keep Allwood products in play on EPD‑screened bids and to avoid last‑minute substitutions that can eat margin and momentum.

What’s expiring and when

Allwood Group lists 22 product‑specific EPDs for engineered hardwood flooring. All are under MasterFormat 09 64 00 and were issued in early February 2022 with expiry in February 2027. As of June 20, 2026, these are the only active Allwood EPDs we see in market. Allwood’s EPD overview is here for quick reference (Allwood Group EPD page).

Are replacements already posted?

Not yet. We find no newer Allwood EPDs covering these SKUs beyond February 2027. The manufacturer’s own EPD hub still points to the 2022 set, and EC3 shows the same cohort with February 2027 end dates. That means specifers will temporarily lose current EPD coverage on these exact products if renewals slip past the window.

Where specs may swing if a gap opens

Competitors with current engineered‑wood or solid‑wood flooring EPDs are well positioned to be slotted instead on EPD‑required projects.

  • Kährs lists published EPDs for its engineered wood floors and links them from its environmental certifications page (Kährs, 2025).
  • Junckers provides EN 15804‑compliant EPDs registered with EPD Denmark for solid and parquet wood floors, available for download on its site (Junckers, 2026).
  • Bauwerk Group’s Boen brand has IBU‑registered EPDs for 2‑layer and 3‑layer parquet that remain valid into late summer 2027, which comfortably covers the Allwood gap if it appears (IBU EPD, 2022).

What this means for eligibility on sustainability‑screened bids

Many owners and rating systems recognize only current, third‑party‑verified Type III EPDs when awarding credits or meeting disclosure requirements under today’s specs. When a product’s EPD lapses, teams often switch to any comparable product with a valid declaration rather than wait. That is not a judgment on performance. It is paperwork triage that keeps submittals clean and risk low.

Renewal timing that avoids churn

Plan backward from February 2027. If data collection starts in July 2026 and verification begins by the fall, there is room to publish ahead of the deadline and keep continuity through bid season. Align the next versions to the prevailing Flooring Part B and operator preferences in target markets. If product design, factories, or suppliers have shifted since 2022, confirm the reference year early so nothing slows verification.

The takeaway for the next eight months

This is a clean, solvable renewal cycle. Either publish replacements before February 2027 and keep every door open, or watch specs drift to peers with active declarations. The cost of re‑winning a displaced spot is always higher than staying put. Better to lock in continuity now and spare sales from last‑minute firefighting, because no one wants to explain a swap caused by missing paperwork, right? One less avoidable headache for the team, one more spec kept. There’s really no upside in waiting. And no one enjoys surprises in submittals, either.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do all 22 Allwood Group EPDs truly expire in February 2027?

Yes. The active Allwood engineered‑wood flooring EPDs were issued in early February 2022 and carry February 2027 end dates. We do not see newer Allwood replacements yet, so uninterrupted coverage requires renewal before that month.

Which PCR and operator do these expiring EPDs use?

They are verified under P3 Optima and reference a Flooring Part B PCR consistent with UL’s Part A framework. The category is MasterFormat 09 64 00 Wood Flooring.

If renewal slips, what are credible alternatives for EPD‑required jobs?

Engineered and solid wood floors with current EPDs from Kährs, Junckers, and Bauwerk/Boen are likely substitutions while Allwood EPDs are offline. See the competitor links above for current documents.

Will LEED v5 projects still accept Allwood without a current EPD?

Most teams prioritize products with current product‑specific Type III EPDs to keep documentation simple and credits intact. Without one, many owners treat the product as higher‑impact by default, which can push it out of consideration.
