Congrats Varberg Timber on first flooring EPD

Who Varberg Timber is, and why this matters

Founded in 1950, Varberg Timber manufactures panels, floors, structural timber and treated decking for builders and distributors across Europe. That mix means the company lives in both commodity lumber and visible finish surfaces, where documentation can swing a spec one way or another.

What landed: the EPD basics

Varberg Timber has published a product‑specific Environmental Product Declaration for Solid Oak Floor under the EPD Hub program operator. The declaration covers a family of solid oak floor boards with multiple lengths and grades, not just a single SKU, and it went live in November 2025. That timing aligns well with buyer requests tied to EN 15804 A2 in public and private tenders.

What this unlocks in the spec market

A verified, product‑specific EPD helps design teams model embodied carbon with confidence and avoid punitive generic factors that often make wood look heavier than it is. Practically, this removes a common reason a product gets swapped late in a bid and keeps conversations focused on performance, lead time and finish choices.

Competitive snapshot: flooring peers with EPDs

Two names show up frequently on the same shortlists. Kährs has current EPD coverage for engineered wood floors in addition to resilient lines, so they already meet the box many RFPs check for wood surfaces. Dinesen lists current EPDs for solid plank and engineered plank floors, which means premium plank buyers can compare apples to apples on verified data. Varberg Timber’s new oak flooring EPD closes that gap and puts the brand shoulder to shoulder in EPD‑required bids.

Program operator choice, in context

Publishing with EPD Hub signals a digital‑first path to verification and broad European recognition, with growing ECO Platform alignment. For manufacturers building a portfolio, that consistency can speed renewals and expansions without re‑inventing the rulebook. For specifiers, it means predictable formats and easier comparisons.

Company site visibility check

Varberg Timber’s certification page already lists EPDs for NTR A impregnated timber, NTR AB impregnated timber and planed timber (Varberg Timber certification page). We did not see the new Solid Oak Floor EPD posted there yet, and adding it would make life easier for sales and distribution teams who share links daily. Visibility counts in the last mile of a bid, so post it prominently and keep PDFs and product pages in sync.

What to do next if you are expanding coverage

If floors are in, consider scoping EPDs for companion interior wood lines that share upstream data with the floor family. That can include stair treads, skirtings or matching panels that often ride along in the same quote. A tight data‑collection plan across plants and grades is the fastest way to scale from one EPD to a portfolio, and it’s definately the lowest‑stress way to meet ambitious timelines.

The takeaway

Varberg Timber has entered the transparency arena with a flooring EPD that meets current spec expectations. In categories where peers like Kährs and Dinesen already show verified numbers, this debut lets project teams compare like with like and gives the brand a fairer shot at wood‑forward interiors. Next step is simple: make the document easy to find, then build out adjoining families so the whole finish package is covered.
