Congrats, Froslev. Your first EPDs are live.

What launched in July

In July 2025, Froslev published five product‑specific EPDs that cover everyday specification workhorses: Painted Spruce façade cladding, Untreated Spruce cladding, FlameBarrier fire‑retardant painted spruce cladding, and pressure‑treated pine in NTR A and NTR AB classes. All are verified and published with EPD Hub. Each declaration reads as a product family rather than a single SKU, which is exactly how designers and contractors buy and substitute on fast‑moving projects.

Why this matters commercially

When a project team must model embodied carbon, a product without an EPD often carries a penalty in whole‑building accounting. Having portfolio‑level, verified data keeps the conversation focused on performance, finish, and delivery, not on debating assumptions. It also makes submittals cleaner for LEED v5‑aimed work and owner carbon policies where product‑specific EPDs are preferred.

Who Froslev is, and where these fit

Froslev is a Danish timber specialist known for exterior cladding, decking, and outdoor structural wood used by architects, façade installers, and builders across the Nordics and Northern Europe. The new EPDs map to that catalog in a tidy way. Painted and untreated spruce cover façade lines, NTR A and NTR AB address structural and above‑ground outdoor use, and FlameBarrier gives specifiers a fire‑classed cladding option without leaving the wood aesthetic.

Competitive snapshot

Thermory has current EPDs covering thermally modified pine boards and finger‑jointed glulam posts under EPD Hub, so they are active in transparency for modified wood. Moelven publishes product‑specific EPDs for spruce cladding and other wood products through EPD Norway, which many Nordic specifiers already consult. Kebony shows no current product‑specific EPDs as of today in the public record we reviewed, with past declarations listed as expired. Net effect, Froslev just entered the transparency arena and is shoulder‑to‑shoulder with Thermory and Moelven while holding an edge over Kebony on current EPD coverage.

Program operator and rulebook fit

These declarations are published with EPD Hub, using EN 15804‑aligned wood PCRs. For teams comparing operators, here is a plain‑language overview of EPD Hub’s model and scope on EPD Guide if you want the finer points before your next release: EPD Hub overview.

Where to find the PDFs

Froslev lists these EPDs on its website. See the English documentation hub here and download the files directly: Frøslev EPD downloads. If any new launches are missing on that page, adding a short “Environmental Product Declarations” section in the main navigation is an easy visibility win. It is definately worth it for busy specifiers.

What product teams can do next

Two quick plays tend to pay off. First, mirror the scope naming architects use in schedules, for example a consolidated “Spruce Cladding” family with clear notes on coatings and profiles, then a separate “Pressure‑treated Pine NTR A, NTR AB.” Second, align submittal kits so the EPD sits next to DoPs, maintenance, and installation guidance. Think of it like a streaming playlist that autoplays the next track, not scattered singles.

The takeaway

Froslev’s July releases mean timber choices from this catalog are now spec‑ready with verified numbers. Against peers, it catches up where leaders already publish and carves out an advantage where others still lack current EPDs. That changes how bids read, and it keeps wood in the conversation when projects tighten carbon targets without sacrificing the look teams want.
