Congrats, Lamett on your first EPD

5 min read
Published: January 19, 2026

Lamett has entered the transparency arena with its first Environmental Product Declaration, published in September 2025. The debut covers a product‑specific SPC plank with integrated IXPE underlay, verified by EPD Hub. For a brand known for engineered wood, Parquetvinyl click and dryback, and the wood‑over‑SPC hybrid “Wood & Stone,” this flips specs from nice visuals to verified numbers.

What Lamett just published

Lamett’s first EPD is live for a defined SPC product line titled “Douro SPC Flooring with IXPE backing.” The declaration is product‑specific, covers a rigid‑core SPC construction with integrated foam underlay, and is verified and published with the program operator EPD Hub. Issued in September 2025, it gives project teams a citeable record for resilient specs that ask for third‑party verified impacts. (epd.guide)

Why this matters for Lamett’s portfolio

Lamett plays in three adjacent lanes that show up frequently in residential and commercial refresh work: parquet and engineered oak, Parquetvinyl SPC in click and dryback formats, and Wood & Stone, a thin real‑oak veneer over an SPC core. An SPC EPD is a logical first tile in the mosaic. It meets buyers where resilient is already strong and keeps conversations moving when LEED v5‑aligned documentation lands on the submittal checklist.

Competitive snapshot in resilient

Shaw Contract publishes product‑specific declarations for LVT and rigid core variants under major operators like UL, with an internal EPD hub that makes files easy to find. That accessibility helps reps win time back while chasing specs. See a concise overview here: Shaw Floors: products and EPD coverage in one view. (epd.guide)

Tarkett’s resilient bench is broad across LVT, sheet vinyl, and linoleum, which keeps the brand in more shortlists when designs pivot mid‑brief. For a quick sense of that breadth, skim this comparison piece: Tarkett vs Interface and Shaw Contract: The EPD Tug‑of‑War. (epd.guide)

Mohawk Industries also shows current product‑specific EPDs for modular LVT and specialty resilient formats under UL and SCS, signaling that hard‑surface competitors in North America have already normalized EPD coverage for LVT and rigid core lines.

Takeaway for Lamett’s SPC line: this first EPD closes a key gap against established rivals in resilient, so the brand competes on design and numbers instead of price alone.

The spec math just got easier

On projects missing a product‑specific file, teams often reach for industry‑wide EPDs as a placeholder. In North America there are nine resilient categories covered, including LVT gluedown, LVT looselay, and rigid‑core SPC and WPC (RFCI, 2024) (RFCI, 2024). A product‑specific EPD like Lamett’s replaces those sector averages with Lamett’s own measured impacts, which can avoid conservative assumptions in whole‑building models. (rfci.com)

Program operator note

EPD Hub, Lamett’s chosen operator, is a digital‑first registry recognized by ECO Platform as an Established ECO EPD Programme Operator as of December 2025. That recognition enables ECO EPD marking and broader discovery through ECO Portal, helpful when architects source across databases. (epd.guide)

Visibility check on Lamett’s site

As of January 18, 2026, we did not find this EPD linked on lamett.com across product, Parquetvinyl, or Responsibility pages. Publishing a clear “EPDs and certifications” hub improves discovery for specifiers, distributors, and GCs who need a fast download during submittals. It’s a small web task that pays back daily, definately.

What to publish next

  • Extend SPC coverage beyond Douro to a family‑level Parquetvinyl EPD so sales can speak to more colors and formats with one document.
  • Consider Wood & Stone next, since hybrid wood‑over‑SPC shows up in moisture‑prone areas that already ask for resilient documentation.
  • For engineered oak bestsellers, pick the same PCRs peers use and keep data collection tight over one recent reference year so timelines stay predictable.

Bottom line

Lamett’s first EPD flips on the spec light for its SPC line. The brand has officially entered the transparency arena, catching up where resilient rivals already play and giving project teams fewer reasons to hesitate. Keep the momentum by expanding to portfolio‑level coverage and making the files one click away on the website.
