Congratulations, DAMPA — first EPDs, new spec power

Who DAMPA is and why this matters now

DAMPA is a Denmark based maker of metal ceilings and acoustic solutions for commercial buildings and the marine sector. Architects know them for crisp metal clip in tiles, long lifespan finishes, and tidy substructures that behave well on site. When those systems also carry EPDs, teams can advance through carbon reviews without switching products late in the game.

What published in July 2025

DAMPA’s first wave includes 14 product specific EPDs covering aluminium and steel clip in tiles in multiple sizes, matching substructure, acoustic wall solutions, plus dedicated marine ranges. The declarations read like product family EPDs, grouping sizes and variants that share materials and processes. All are published with the EPD Hub program operator (EPD Hub on EPD Guide).

Scope cues worth noting from the set

• Aluminium ceilings for buildings and marine applications, including clip in tiles across common formats.
• Steel ceilings across the same formats, with companion substructure as its own EPD.
• Acoustic wall solutions that mirror the ceiling materials stack for consistent interiors.

PCRs and method notes at a glance

The portfolio relies on the EPD Hub Core PCR and category specific PCRs such as Aluminium Building Products and acoustical ceiling and wall solutions. That mix signals a pragmatic path for diversified ranges where metal composition and finishing drive impacts. It also sets an easy runway to extend coverage to new sizes or finishes with the same rules of the road.

Competitive snapshot as of January 2026

This is where the debut lands in the market.

• Rockfon lists 16 current EPDs for acoustical ceilings across regions with a mix of IBU and EPD Norway publications, which sets a high bar in mineral tile coverage.
• SAS International shows 2 current EPDs including aluminium ceiling systems with BRE, with many legacy declarations now expired, so active coverage exists but is selective.
• Lindner Group maintains a handful of current EPDs that include ceilings and climate ceiling systems alongside raised floors, useful in complex fit outs where systems interact.

Taken together, DAMPA’s metal forward set closes a visibility gap in a field where mineral fiber brands often dominate the EPD conversation. For marine ceilings, coverage from competitors is thinner, which gives DAMPA a credible talking point in ship and offshore interiors.

What this changes in specs and bids

Procurement teams increasingly prefer product specific EPDs for interior finishes that repeat across hundreds of rooms. Without one, carbon accounting defaults to conservative estimates that can push a product out of the model. With one, a ceiling line competes on performance, price, and verified impacts rather than guesswork. The price of an EPD is frequently earned back with even a single mid sized project win, which many manufacturers do not see because those specs never reached them.

Where to find the documents

DAMPA already lists their EPDs on their sustainability page, which is a smart move for submittals and internal sales enablement (DAMPA Sustainability EPDs). They also announced the launch in a news post that helps non technical readers follow the story (DAMPA news). If additional ranges go live, placing them here first keeps everything one click from the product pages. If anything is missing, visibility is key so we definately recommend adding prominent links from each product detail page.

The takeaway

DAMPA’s July 2025 publications mark a clean, credible entrance into transparency for metal and marine ceiling systems. The set covers the right families, sits with a reputable operator, and gives design teams fewer reasons to swap. In a category where Rockfon and others have marched ahead on coverage, this puts DAMPA shoulder to shoulder, with a quiet edge wherever marine specifications appear.
