What launched in May 2025
Iccuna published its first two product‑specific EPDs in May 2025 for core wood‑aluminium windows. Each declaration is scoped to a representative size that mirrors common project submittals and both carry current validity into 2030, which gives sales and spec teams real runway on long projects.
The two EPDs cover:
- Iccuna MSE inward opening wood‑aluminium window (two‑sash, timber interior with exterior aluminium cladding)
- Iccuna MEKA fixed triple‑glazed wood‑aluminium window
Both are verified and published with program operator EPD Hub.
Why this matters competitively
When a project must quantify embodied carbon, products without a product‑specific EPD often get modeled with conservative defaults that hurt selection. With these two declarations, Iccuna’s windows can be compared on actual, third‑party‑verified impacts rather than placeholders. That removes a common reason to swap a product late in design and makes conversations about performance and lead time stick.
Where Iccuna plays
Iccuna manufactures windows and doors for Nordic conditions, including composite, aluminium, steel, and wood‑aluminium constructions that target residential and light‑commercial envelopes. The wood‑aluminium line pairs interior timber with exterior aluminium for low maintenance and familiar Nordic performance. That is exactly the segment where project teams increasingly expect product‑specific EPDs in the file set.

Program operator and rules in plain English
The declarations are listed with EPD Hub, a global program operator aligned to EN 15804 and ISO 14025. If your team wants the operator background, we wrote a plain‑language overview here that covers recognition and how publication flows work on that platform: EPD Hub on EPD Guide. The rulebook used on one of Iccuna’s windows maps directly to the windows and pedestrian doorsets category. That keeps comparability clean against peers using the same part‑B rules.
The closest competitive set, right now
In wood‑aluminium windows, Iccuna now meets Nordic names that already show up in specs with declared products.
- Magnorvinduet has published window and sliding door EPDs on the same operator with validity into 2030, which positions them as an EPD‑ready peer in the region. See our snapshot: Magnorvinduet enters the EPD arena.
- HIT‑Nordic lists an ALU‑clad MSE window EPD on the same platform and rule family. That is a direct apples‑to‑apples comparison point for inward‑opening wood‑aluminium frames.
- Senior Architectural covers adjacent aluminium window and door systems with current EPDs. Not wood‑aluminium, yet still relevant when façade packages weigh a mix of materials and opening types.
Net effect, Iccuna has entered the transparency arena and closed a key gap against these players. In categories where EPDs already exist, the baseline to compete is having one. Iccuna now does.
What spec teams can do with this
If a project is modeling whole‑building impacts, ask design partners to reference Iccuna’s product‑specific declarations rather than generic window factors. That simple switch can remove a penalty in the envelope package and keep options open on glazing, frame depth, and hardware without tripping carbon guardrails. For LEED v5‑oriented work, the documents support straightforward material credits and smoother submittals.
Can we see the EPDs on Iccuna’s site
Yes. Iccuna lists the EPDs on its materials page with direct references to EPD Hub IDs HUB‑3372 and HUB‑3373. Here is the page: Iccuna materials and EPD links. If these links move later, adding a permanent “Environmental Product Declarations” section to the main navigation is smart, since visibility is half the battle in busy submittal seasons. It sounds trivial, but it keeps architects from hunting and reduces back‑and‑forth.
A quick read on scope
These two documents focus on specific window types with declared dimensions, not a broad all‑windows portfolio claim. That is common practice for windows and doors. The practical move from here is to extend coverage to the next most‑specified variants, for example tilt‑turns or balcony doors that ride the same schedules.
Bottom line
Two well‑targeted EPDs for wood‑aluminium windows put Iccuna on the same playing field as established Nordic competitors. That means fewer modeling penalties, faster yeses in design development, and a better shot at staying specified when price pressure shows up. It is a small line on a submittal, but a big lever in real specs, alot.
