What is expiring and when
Here are the five Tarkett EPDs scheduled to expire in February 2027 (product families shown, scope per the published documents):
- iD Click Ultimate modular LVT (valid to 2027‑02‑14).
- Starfloor Click Solid modular LVT (valid to 2027‑02‑14).
- iD Inspiration Click Solid and iD Inspiration Click HT 70 modular LVT (valid to 2027‑02‑14).
- Linoléum xf2 2.5 mm sheet linoleum (valid to 2027‑02‑23).
- Linoleum Acoustique xf2 3.8 mm sheet linoleum (valid to 2027‑02‑23).
These cover resilient modular vinyl in click construction and classic linoleum. Think of them as the box‑office hits of Tarkett’s commercial portfolio.
Are replacements already in place
For the click LVT families, there are more recent EPDs in the same lineage that remain current after February 2027. Examples include iD Click Ultimate 30 variants that run into mid‑2028, and combined coverage for iD Inspiration Click Solid and Starfloor Click Solid that runs into late summer 2027. For linoleum, Tarkett also lists portfolio‑level linoleum EPDs with validity well past 2027. That means most specifiers can keep submittals moving without swapping systems.
Caveat worth repeating. Some of the expiring declarations are tied to exact constructions or thicknesses. Where a project spec names that precise SKU and EPD ID, teams may prefer a like‑for‑like renewal rather than pivoting to a related declaration.

If a gap appears, where might specifiers pivot
When a named declaration times out, project teams usually look laterally within the same category before jumping brands.
For click LVT
- Gerflor Creation Clic LVT with current program‑operator EPDs.
- Armstrong Commercial LVT collections with current EPDs through US operators.
For sheet linoleum
- Forbo Marmoleum lines carry active EPDs across EU and US program operators.
For carpet tile alternatives to cover soft‑surface needs if a project was mixing categories
- Interface carpet tile families with current EPDs.
- Shaw Contract EcoWorx carpet tile lines with active EPDs.
These are credible stand‑ins that keep LEED v5 product‑specific documentation intact when timing gets tight.
Commercial impact in plain words
An expiring declaration is like a parking meter nearing zero. You can still drive, but approvals get nervy and people start watching the clock. If a spec or owner requires current product‑specific EPDs, letting one lapse can force a substitution even when performance and price are on point. Renewal on time protects margin and prevents preventable value‑engineering.
Renewal timing and PCR housekeeping
EPDs typically run on a five‑year validity cycle, so smart teams back‑plan renewals to avoid overlap with factory maintenance, seasonal shutdowns, or data system changes. If the underlying PCR was updated since the last issue, the new study will need to reference the newer rulebook at renewal. The best partners streamline data collection inside the plant and keep version control tidy, which is often the slowest part for manufacturers.
Checklist for the next 90 days
- Confirm which projects call the expiring EPDs by name and thickness.
- Decide whether a still‑current family declaration is acceptable to owners and GCs.
- Kick off renewal scoping now if precise SKU coverage is needed. A clean data pull today beats a fire‑drill in January.
Bottom line for specifiers and manufacturers
Coverage for Tarkett’s click LVT and linoleum looks largely maintained through related, still‑valid EPDs. The risk sits in the details. If a bid or submittal hinges on an exact EPD ID, renewals should be prioritized so specs do not drift to competing lines. It’s a small step that avoids bigger headaches later. And yes, it’s definately easier when the data wrangling starts early.
