Congrats, Puustamo: first EPDs open the door
Puustamo just stepped into the transparency arena. In November 2025 the Finnish door maker published its first Environmental Product Declarations, giving specifiers plug‑and‑play numbers for core interior and exterior pine doors. This is the quiet kind of milestone that shortens submittals, removes conservative penalties in whole‑building LCA tools, and makes selection easier when projects prefer product‑specific EPDs under LEED v5.
What went live in November
Puustamo’s debut set includes three product‑specific EPDs valid through 2030: an interior veneered pine door, a solid wood exterior door, and a glazed exterior pine door. Two exterior door EPDs publish under the EPD Hub Core PCR v1.1, while the interior door follows EN 17213 for windows and pedestrian doorsets. All three were issued by the program operator EPD Hub. Month of release is November 2025, which puts the clock nicely at the start of a five‑year window.
If an LCA developer is named in public summaries, we did not see it. That is common when program templates carry the required disclosures.
Who Puustamo is and why this matters now
Puustamo manufactures solid‑wood exterior doors, entrance elements, and interior doors for homes, commercial spaces, and public buildings, with visible attention to craft, knot‑free pine, and oak. In plain English, they make the kind of statement entrances architects spec when durability and warmth must live together.
EPDs turn that craft into comparable data. For buyers working against carbon budgets, a current product‑specific EPD often avoids the conservative defaults that otherwise inflate a product’s footprint on screen. EPDs typically run on a five‑year validity cycle across major programs, so getting live now means the portfolio is set for current bids while future renewals can build on this base (EPD International FAQ, 2025).
The program operator choice, in context
These EPDs are verified and published with EPD Hub. That operator was recognized by ECO Platform as an Established ECO EPD Programme Operator in December 2025, which increases visibility through ECO Portal in European workflows and helps cross‑market acceptance when teams compare like for like (ECO Platform, 2025). For specifiers, that translates to smoother document checks. For manufacturers, it means fewer debates about whether a declaration “counts”.

Competitive snapshot in doors
JELD‑WEN shows broad EPD coverage across exterior and interior doors in Europe and the Nordics, including many doorset variants. That sets a high bar in portfolio breadth.
Closer to home, Profin in Finland lists current EPDs for sliding glass doors, which is the adjacent opening many multifamily and premium home briefs ask for.
H‑vinduet Magnor in Norway carries active EPDs for balcony doors and windows, signaling that Nordic envelope players have moved fast to cover openings most often scrutinized in designs.
The takeaway for specsifiers is straightforward. Puustamo is no longer stepping onto the pitch with a data gap on core entries. They are catching up to established EPD publishers in the category and can now defend substitutions with third‑party numbers, not just product sheets.
Scope notes buyers will care about
These are product‑specific declarations for staple doors rather than one‑off customs. The set spans interior and exterior use, including a glazed exterior option, which mirrors how entrance packages get written in real projects. Teams who want family‑level coverage for series and size ranges can build from here using the same PCR roadmaps.
Where to find the PDFs
We looked for direct EPD downloads on Puustamo’s website and did not find a public EPD page at the time of writing. Visibility matters because reviewers often want the PDF or machine‑readable file in the submittal. Adding a simple “Environmental Product Declarations” page under the Professionals section would reduce back‑and‑forth and help teams move faster.
What this unlocks in bids
LEED v5 keeps product‑specific EPDs squarely in play for Materials credits. Having current, verified EPDs removes generic penalties and reduces friction in owner policies that prefer third‑party numbers over assumptions (USGBC, 2025). With validity that typically spans five years, one well‑timed EPD can pay back quickly once it appears in a couple of mid‑sized wins where transparency is a gate, not a nice‑to‑have (EPD International FAQ, 2025).
The short list for next moves
Publish for entrance families that sell in volume, then map any popular options like higher security hardware or common glazing packages inside the same rulebook. Match the PCRs used by close competitors so numbers compare cleanly on screens the design team already trusts. We like to see manufacturers pair portfolio planning with ruthless data collection so engineering time stays focused on product, not paperwork.
Bottom line
Puustamo’s first EPDs land where it counts most on the front door. Interior, solid wood exterior, and glazed exterior doors are now backed by third‑party numbers, verified by a program operator recognized across Europe. That puts Puustamo into more shortlists and takes them from promising to provable on specs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which products did Puustamo cover in their first EPDs and how long are they valid?
Three product‑specific EPDs cover an interior veneered pine door, a solid exterior wood door, and a glazed exterior pine door. All list validity into 2030 under EN 15804 program rules.
Who verified Puustamo’s EPDs and what PCRs were used?
Program operator is EPD Hub. The interior door uses EN 17213 for windows and doors; the exterior door EPDs apply EPD Hub Core PCR v1.1 aligned to EN 15804+A2.
Do close competitors already have EPDs for similar door types?
Yes. JELD‑WEN shows broad coverage across door types. Profin lists sliding door EPDs. H‑vinduet Magnor carries balcony door and window EPDs. Puustamo’s new set closes the data gap on core entrances.
Where can specifiers download Puustamo’s EPDs today?
We did not find a public EPD page on puustamo.fi at the time of writing. Creating a dedicated EPD download page under the Professionals section is recommended for faster submittals.
