Congrats, Fibergrate: first‑ever EPDs go live

What Fibergrate just published

Fibergrate released its first wave of product‑specific, third‑party verified EPDs in November 2025. Four declarations cover the core FRP portfolio and are published with Smart EPD:

• Molded Grating, product‑family scope.
• Pultruded Grating, product‑family scope.
• DynaForm Structural Shapes, product‑family scope.
• Versadjust, Level.It, Screwjack, Accessories, an adjustable pedestal system family.

The program operator is Smart EPD. The developer of record listed is Fibergrate, a signal of strong in‑house ownership of the data and assumptions.

Why this matters in FRP specs

FRP platforms, walkways, and frames live or die on grating and shapes. With product‑specific EPDs for these families, project teams can document embodied carbon without defaulting to conservative generic datasets that inflate totals. That removes friction at submittal time and keeps Fibergrate in more conversations where LEED v5 minded owners expect verified disclosures.

Competitive snapshot

Strongwell shows a current EPD for pultruded grating valid into July 2030, so it has been visible to specifiers in this category. Bedford Reinforced Plastics and Creative Pultrusions do not show current, product‑specific EPDs for FRP gratings or structural shapes in commonly checked registries as of January 15, 2026. That places Fibergrate shoulder‑to‑shoulder with a key rival in grating and potentially ahead of others in structural shapes.

Where coverage lands today

This first set zeroes in on the backbone materials buyers touch most often. Family‑level scopes mean many SKUs are covered under each declaration, which is exactly what busy estimators and AEC teams want when they need to move fast across a platform bill of materials.

What would level it up next

Rounding out railings and ladders, stair solutions, and specialty panels with EPDs would extend coverage from deck to handrail. That unlocks cleaner, single‑brand submittals instead of mixing declarations across vendors. It also keeps substitution risk low when projects tighten embodied‑carbon thresholds mid‑design.

Website visibility check

We looked for EPD PDFs on Fibergrate’s website and could not locate public downloads as of today. Visibility matters for spec wins, so hosting the EPDs in a clearly labeled certifications or sustainability section is an easy lift that pays back quickly.

The takeaway

Fibergrate has entered the transparency arena with four product‑family EPDs that line up with how its FRP systems are actually used. In grating, they are now catching up to established competitors and, in structural shapes, they may be setting the pace where others still lack coverage. Keep the momentum, make the files easy to find, and the spec math tilts a bit more in their favor. It’s a smart, definitley market‑relevant debut.
