What’s at risk in February 2027
Optima’s expiring set concentrates in its core glazed partitions and integrated door families. Unless renewed, the declarations below will time out around February 21, 2027, which can complicate compliance submittals under LEED v5 and owner standards that prefer current EPDs.

Related expirations follow soon after. For example, three Revolution 100 single‑glazed EPDs and the TECH Panel show April 5, 2027 validity dates. Optima’s product and EPD resource pages are a helpful cross‑check for model names and configurations (Optima products, manufacturer‑hosted EPD PDFs like 117+ 12.8mm and aluminium‑framed doors are also posted on optimasystems.com).

Are replacements already live for the same systems?
Some fresh declarations exist, primarily for North America under the PurOptima brand. Examples include:
- Revolution 100 Double Glazed System, valid through 2030‑06‑16 (EPD International, 2025).
- Optima 117+ 12.8mm and 14.8mm single‑glazed systems, valid through 2030‑06‑16 (EPD International, 2025).
- Kinetic Lite Sliding Glass Door, valid through 2030‑06‑16 (EPD International, 2025).
These cover important portions of the portfolio, yet they are not a full one‑for‑one replacement for every February 2027 declaration, especially for UK‑scoped SKUs and certain door families. Where a like‑for‑like EPD is not yet visible, a short‑term gap could open for projects that require current EPDs.
If gaps appear, where might specifiers pivot?
Specifiers usually stay within the same performance and aesthetic lane. Competitive glass and demountable partition products with current public EPDs include:
- Apton Quartz Frameless Glazed Partitioning System, valid through 2030‑03‑06 (EPD International, 2025).
- UniFor RP Partition and RP Double Glass Partition System, valid through 2029‑06‑23 and 2029‑09‑29 respectively (EPD International, 2024).
- Dovetail Timber‑Framed Glazed Partition Systems, valid through 2030‑06‑03, for projects leaning to natural finishes with glass integration (EPD International, 2025).
Planet Group’s aluminium‑framed partition EPDs are also current now with validity to May 2027, which keeps them in play for near‑term submittals (EPD International, 2022). For broader market context on modular partitions, see our look at Maars and peers in EPD coverage on glass and demountables (EPD Guide, 2026).
Commercial impact in one picture
Think of an expiring EPD like a passport at the airport. Everything about the traveler is the same, but the gate will not open if the date has rolled over. Many owner standards and LEED v5 workflows expect current, third‑party verified EPDs in the packet. When the declaration lapses, project teams either swap products or burn time modeling with conservative factors. Neither outcome is good for win‑rates.
Timing that actually works
Most EPDs carry a five‑year validity window, which sets a predictable renewal cadence and gives enough runway for data collection and third‑party review when started early (EPD International PCR 2012:01, 2026). If February 2027 is the cliff, practical back‑planning says kickoff by late summer 2026 keeps risk low. Start with the highest revenue SKUs, confirm the target PCR, and lock program operator formatting early to avoid late rework. Do not wait untill Q4.
What to do this week
Map the expiring set to active SKUs in the pipeline, then decide where a North America EPD already covers your needs and where a UK or EU‑scoped renewal is required. If a system is being superseded by a new profile or glazing build‑up, consider publishing a consolidated EPD that captures the new standard spec. Teams that assign one cross‑functional owner for inputs and approvals usually move two to three times faster in practice, because questions do not bounce around in inboxes.
The window is open
Optima has momentum with recent PurOptima declarations that run to mid‑2030. Extending that coverage across the February 2027 set keeps the brand squarely in spec and shortens submittal friction for design teams. That is the quiet advantage that wins close calls.
