Other Flooring EPDs in the United States, data guide
Planning your flooring roadmap for 2026? Here is the full, data-backed picture for Other Flooring in the United States, including who is publishing, which program operators dominate, which PCRs are actually used, and when renewals will hit. Use this to benchmark your portfolio, choose the right rulebook, and spot gaps competitors might exploit.
What counts as “Other Flooring” in this guide
In practice this slice covers resinous flooring systems, terrazzo systems, cement-based underlayments, grouts and mortars, and related specialty floor coatings often searched as epoxy flooring, urethane flooring, MMA flooring, terrazzo flooring, and industrial floor coatings. It is the in-between space that is not carpet or resilient sheets, yet shows up on real project specs all the time.
The 2026 snapshot by the numbers
Across the last five years there are 67 currently valid EPDs from 13 manufacturers in the United States for this category. Those EPDs were published through 8 program operators and reference 6 distinct PCRs. The most recent addition was issued on Jun 12, 2025 for the Terroxy STD Thin-set Terrazzo Flooring System from Terrazzo & Marble Supply Companies under NSF International with the Resinous Floor Coatings PCR, valid to Jun 12, 2030. EPDs are commonly valid for five years, which is why timing clusters matter for renewals (EPD International GPI, 2024).
Momentum over time
Issuance peaked in 2022, then eased. Here is the five-year curve.
| Year | EPDs issued |
|---|---|
| 2021 | 1 |
| 2022 | 51 |
| 2023 | 7 |
| 2024 | 5 |
| 2025 | 3 |
The 2022 spike set up a renewal wave that will arrive in 2027. If your portfolio was built in that year, plan resourcing now, not when bids land.
Who is publishing
Thirteen brands are active. Dur-A-Flex accounts for 46 EPDs, about 69% of the valid set, which shows an aggressive SKU-level coverage strategy. LATICRETE and USG appear with four each. Crossfield and DR Johnson Wood Innovations show two each. Ecore International, Interface, MAPEI, Mohawk Industries, Sika USA, Tarkett, Carboline, and Terrazzo & Marble Supply Companies each contribute one or two. Heavy concentration is normal in resinous flooring where systems create multiple declarations from common chemistry.
Program operators used in the United States
UL hosts 36 EPDs across 3 manufacturers which is about 54% of the current set. NSF International hosts 17 EPDs across 4 manufacturers which is roughly one quarter. ASTM International appears with 4 EPDs across 1 manufacturer. Smaller footprints exist at EPD International AB, SCS Global Services, Smart EPD LLC, and Labeling Sustainability. There are also 3 EPDs where no program operator is listed. High shares at UL and NSF signal trusted routes for verification and publication in this category. Diversity matters as a proxy for acceptance by specifiers, and both UL and NSF show multi‑manufacturer use.

PCRs that actually show up on declarations
Two rulebooks dominate. The Resinous Floor Coatings PCR underpins 55 EPDs with latest expiries running to Jan 13, 2030 for some entries and to Jun 12, 2030 for the most recent resinous terrazzo system. A second variant titled Product Category Rule for Environmental Product Declarations, PCR for Resinous Floor Coatings appears on 3 EPDs with expiries to Mar 27, 2029. A handful of EPDs rely on Part B: Flooring, a generic EN 15804 framework entry, and a single Part B covering cement-based grout, adhesive mortar, and self-leveling underlayment. Four EPDs list an unknown PCR, which is usually a tagging issue and worth correcting before renewals.
How to pick among them mirrors a board game rulebook. Use what competitors use unless there is a strong reason to deviate, then validate fit based on scope, declared unit, modules, and expiration runway.
Renewal timing to watch
The next five-year horizon is lumpy.
- 2026 has 1 expiry on Oct 28.
- 2027 has 51 expiries, mostly Resinous Floor Coatings, earliest on Jan 14 and a cluster between Apr 1 and Oct 27.
- 2028 has 7 expiries between Feb 6 and Dec 27.
- 2029 has 3 expiries, including two with unknown PCR listings on Apr 1.
- 2030 has 3 expiries, including resinous systems on Jun 12.
If your sales cycle depends on uninterrupted EPD availability, start renewals nine to twelve months before the date on the cover. Teams that wait until the quarter before expiry often face scheduling bottlenecks with operators and verifiers. That stress is avoidable.
How often manufacturers use an outside EPD consultant
At least 14 EPDs were developed with an external partner, roughly one in five. For complex portfolios this is often the fastest route because a specialist handles data wrangling and verification choreography while the plant team stays focused on production. An EPD service provider like Parq can centralize utility pulls, recipes, packaging, and transport modeling so technical staff do not spend nights in spreadsheets. We see the biggest time savings where product families share bills of materials with limited parametric variation.
Notable names you might search for, and what the data shows
Some well known resinous flooring brands do not appear in this category slice even though they publish flooring EPDs.
- Stonhard has multiple resinous flooring EPDs with expiries into 2030 under Smart EPD, commonly referencing the Resinous Floor Coatings PCR. These may be tagged in adjacent categories in the public registry view and therefore not counted here.
- Tnemec has resinous floor system EPDs valid to 2030, also under Smart EPD and using Resinous Floor Coatings PCR. Again, classification can differ from the Other Flooring bucket.
- Flowcrete, Ardex, Custom Building Products, and Florock do not show current Other Flooring EPDs in this view as of Jan 16, 2026. Some have broader declarations in unrelated categories or in other regions, others may be in progress, and late 2025 publications can lag in public registries.
This matters for bidding. If a spec lists a competitor with an EPD that you cannot find under the exact category, check their operator page and search by product family name. Category labels are helpful, not gospel.
Operator choice, verification path, and fit-for-purpose advice
Operator selection should follow where your closest competitors publish, the PCR you plan to use, and the turnaround commitments you can secure. Verification type and reviewer pool can shift cycle time by weeks. Aim for a clear declared unit and a scope that matches real installation practice. Where a system uses hardeners, fillers, and broadcast media, list configuration logic in the EPD so buyers can map to their SKUs without guesswork.
A quick playbook for 2026
Pick your rulebook first, then back into operator choice, then schedule verification. Build a clean data pack with one reference year of utilities and volumes, plus packaging and transport. If the product is new, a prospective EPD can be a bridge, then update after a full year of production. Do not chase perfect data at the cost of missing a bid window, that is definatley the costliest mistake.
One last thing
This article uses counts from the global public registry of EPDs that most architects and specifiers rely on. Because of loading delays, some EPDs from the second half of 2025 may not be reflected yet.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is driving the 2027 expiry wave for Other Flooring EPDs in the United States?
Most current EPDs were issued in 2022, and EPDs typically carry a five‑year validity window, which clusters expiries in 2027. Planning renewals nine to twelve months ahead avoids verification bottlenecks. (EPD International GPI, 2024)
Which program operators are most common for Other Flooring EPDs in the US?
UL hosts about 54% of valid EPDs and NSF International hosts roughly 25%, with the rest split across ASTM International, EPD International AB, SCS Global Services, Smart EPD LLC, Labeling Sustainability, and a small number without a listed operator.
Which PCR should a resinous flooring manufacturer use in 2026?
Follow category norms. The Resinous Floor Coatings PCR is most common. A second resinous PCR is used less often, and a few entries rely on generic Part B: Flooring or EN 15804 frameworks. Assess scope, declared unit, and expiry runway before final selection.
