Malarkey Roofing EPDs: seven set to lapse in December

What’s expiring, and when

Malarkey Roofing has seven product EPDs with validity ending on December 23, 2026. Based on our review, the expiring documents cover these shingle lines and scopes:

• Legacy Scotchgard Shingle Line
• Legacy Shingle Line
• Dura‑Seal AR Shingle Line
• Vista Shingle Line
• Highlander NEX Shingle Line
• Windsor Scotchgard Shingle Line
• A second Legacy Shingle Line record with the same December 23, 2026 end date

The expiring set was published through UL as program operator under the Asphalt Roofing PCR.

Are replacements already live

Yes for most lines. Current Malarkey EPDs with validity to April 1, 2029 are already posted for Vista, Windsor Scotchgard, Highlander NEX, Ecoasis NEX, and Legacy. In practical terms, specifiers should still find Malarkey EPD coverage for these best‑sellers during and after December 2026, provided they select the newer document for the same product family and scope on submittals.

One likely gap to watch

We did not find a newer EPD for Dura‑Seal AR. If that remains the case by late 2026, submittals that call for a current product‑specific EPD may steer away from Dura‑Seal until a refreshed document posts. If your sales pipeline leans on this SKU, pencil a renewal now so it does not go dark in December.

What specifiers may pick instead if Dura‑Seal lapses

In steep‑slope asphalt shingles, these competitor products have current EPDs and are commonly accepted on residential and light‑commercial specs:

• Atlas Pinnacle Pristine, valid through April 2031 under Smart EPD
• Atlas ProLam, valid through April 2031 under Smart EPD
• Atlas Castlebrook, valid through April 2031 under Smart EPD

While exact profiles differ, many bid books reference performance and warranty criteria for “asphalt shingles,” not a specific tab configuration, so EPD‑backed architectural lines often get the nod when a three‑tab option lacks a current declaration.

Why timing matters in 2026

LEED v5 becomes the only version open for most new registrations on July 1, 2026, and owners are watching EPD quality more closely in that transition (USGBC, 2025) (USGBC, 2025). Product‑specific Type III EPDs remain the simplest path to count toward materials targets, so letting a declaration expire can knock a product out of contention on EPD‑sensitive work.

For teams refreshing EPDs, match scope tightly to the outgoing document. Keep the same PCR family and clearly label plant coverage so estimators do not second‑guess comparability.

Where to find Malarkey’s documents

Malarkey hosts EPDs and sustainability resources on its site, which is the quickest place many specifiers look first. Start here:

Commercial impact in one glance

If your shingle sits on a shortlist because it carries a live EPD, losing that document can push the product aside in one meeting. A timely renewal protects spec eligibility, protects price, and protects pipeline velocity. That is true even if the new EPD does not change the numbers much. It is the presence of a current, third‑party verified declaration that keeps the door open.

What to do next

1. Confirm which SKUs you sell most against specs that require EPDs.
2. For any product set to lapse by December 23, 2026 without a posted replacement, initiate renewal now. Aim to have the new PDF posted at least 60 days before the old one expires.
3. Update submittal templates and rep playbooks so the newer document is definitly the one attached.

Timely EPD renewals are a small lift compared to the cost of watching a competitor with a current declaration walk away with the spec.
