Wolf Bavaria steps into EPDs, loudly
Acoustic panels, decoupling strips, even dry radiant floor panels now come with proof. Wolf Bavaria’s first product‑specific EPDs move their core systems from claims to verified numbers, which means fewer headaches in specs and smoother paths through submittals when low‑carbon, product‑specific documentation is a gatekeeper.
What just went live
Wolf Bavaria has published verified Environmental Product Declarations for three flagship systems, all under the Kiwa‑Ecobility Experts program operator. The set covers the PhoneStar panel, the PhoneStrip decoupling strip, and the PowerFloor panel, each modeled to EN 15804+A2 and presented as cradle‑to‑gate with end‑of‑life modules C1–C4 plus module D. PDFs are already available on the company’s English downloads page.
- PhoneStar panel EPD, valid through August 19, 2030 (Kiwa‑Ecobility Experts, 2025).
- PhoneStrip decoupling strip EPD, valid through August 19, 2030 (Kiwa‑Ecobility Experts, 2025).
- PowerFloor panel EPD, valid through August 19, 2030 (Kiwa‑Ecobility Experts, 2025).
Why this matters in specs now
Project teams increasingly treat product‑specific EPDs as the ticket to enter carbon‑accounted work. Without one, your product often gets a conservative emissions placeholder that drags on scores, so it must fight harder on price. With an EPD, the same product can be evaluated on its real data and stay in the submittal stack longer. Simple.
A quick primer on the products
PhoneStar is a sand‑filled acoustic board used as an underlayment and as part of dry screed build‑ups. PhoneStrip is a load‑bearing decoupling strip that cuts flanking noise at wall and floor joints. PowerFloor is a dry radiant floor panel that improves heat distribution and integrates cleanly with dry floor assemblies. Together, they speak directly to timber builds, multifamily, hospitality and renovation where speed and quiet win the day.
Who verified and who modeled
All three declarations are issued and verified by Kiwa‑Ecobility Experts, and the LCAs were modeled in Kiwa’s ReTHiNK workflow, which keeps methods aligned with EN 15804+A2 while streamlining third‑party review. That clarity helps design teams compare like‑for‑like and keep coordination time down.
Competitive snapshot, as of January 5, 2026
Unifloor B.V. appears well covered with current EPDs for its Jumpax and Twinpanel acoustic flooring systems, also published with Kiwa. This is the established benchmark in dry overlay solutions. REGUPOL shows current EPD coverage for resilient rubber rolls and tiles with IBU, relevant for impact sound control in gyms and high‑traffic zones. Amorim Cork Composites lists current EPDs for acoustic underscreeds with EPD International AB, a strong signal in floating screed builds. Wolf Bavaria’s debut puts them shoulder‑to‑shoulder with these names in the transparency arena, particularly for dry systems and decoupling details.
What it means commercially
With EPDs, Wolf Bavaria can now be specified without workaround assumptions on embodied carbon. That shortens decision time, keeps bids competitive on merit, and reduces the risk of last‑minute swaps when carbon accounting tightens. Sales teams get a cleaner story, and technical teams avoid scramble work hunting third‑party numbers.
Where to find the documents
The EPD PDFs sit on Wolf Bavaria’s site in both German and English. Linking the same files from product detail pages and system build‑up guides will make them even easier for specifiers to grab mid‑workflow. If a document goes missing in future updates, add a permanent “Sustainability” hub and mirror those files there, too. Visibility wins.
The takeaway
Wolf Bavaria has moved from promise to proof for its core acoustic and dry radiant floor systems. In a category where several rivals already disclose, this closing of the gap is timely and practical. Specs get easier, not harder. And that’s how you win more of the projects you should already be winning, definately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which program operator issued Wolf Bavaria’s first EPDs and how long are they valid?
Kiwa‑Ecobility Experts issued them, and each PDF shows validity through August 19, 2030 (Kiwa‑Ecobility Experts, 2025).
Which product categories do these first EPDs cover?
An acoustic underlayment panel (PhoneStar), a load‑bearing decoupling strip (PhoneStrip), and a dry radiant floor panel (PowerFloor). All are modeled to EN 15804+A2 with cradle‑to‑gate plus C1–C4 and D scope.
Does this debut change Wolf Bavaria’s competitive position?
Yes. Unifloor, REGUPOL, and Amorim already disclose in adjacent flooring acoustics. Wolf Bavaria’s EPDs close the disclosure gap and make the brand easier to specify alongside those competitors.
