Berridge Manufacturing: product range and EPD reality

Who Berridge is and what they sell

Berridge Manufacturing Company focuses on architectural metal systems for building envelopes. The range spans standing seam roofing, wall and soffit panels, exposed‑fastener profiles, simulated tile and shingles, privacy fencing, custom trim, plus coil and flat sheet. Across those families, the catalog runs to a dozen categories and dozens of individual panel profiles with hundreds of finish and gauge combinations.

Breadth at a glance

The standing‑seam line is the core, with headliners like Zee‑Lock, Cee‑Lock, Tee‑Panel and variants for curved or tapered geometries. Wall and soffit solutions include the Reveal Series and flush panels. The site also highlights specialty systems such as spaceframe components and architectural privacy fencing. It’s a versatile mix that helps them show up in commercial, education, hospitality and higher‑end residential work.

EPD status today

As of December 18, 2025, we find no product‑specific, third‑party‑verified EPDs published by Berridge on common operator portals or on their own site. If one exists behind a login or in a submittal pack, we could not locate it. That matters because verified EPDs are typically valid for five years, which aligns with bid cycles and renewal planning (EPD International, 2025) (EPD International, 2025).

Where coverage could start fast

A practical starting point is the flagship standing‑seam pair.

• Zee‑Lock for open framing or solid sheathing applications
• Cee‑Lock for snap‑lock assemblies on solid sheathing These likely represent meaningful volume and frequent substitutions on specs. Publishing product‑specific EPDs for these two can unlock most day‑to‑day opportunities, then expand to the Reveal Series wall panels. Upstream data should be accessible. Major coil suppliers already publish EPDs for organic‑coated steel and aluminum coil, which reduces uncertainty in the A1–A3 inventory and keeps verifiers comfortable with background datasets. ArcelorMittal, for example, confirms updated EPDs for organic‑coated steel coils in 2025.

Competitors you’ll see on plans

Project teams often weigh Berridge against PAC‑CLAD Petersen, McElroy Metal, MBCI, ATAS International, Metal Sales, Englert, Drexel Metals and ASC’s architectural lines. Several competitors lean on industry‑wide cladding EPDs from the Metal Construction Association for roll‑formed aluminum and steel cladding, as well as resources for insulated metal panels. That won’t always beat a product‑specific EPD in carbon‑capped projects, yet it can be enough to stay in the running when a specification references a verified declaration. MCA continues to host downloadable EPD resources for roll‑formed cladding and insulated metal panels (Metal Construction Association, 2025) (Metal Construction Association, 2025).

What this means for specs and LEED v5

LEED v5 pushes embodied‑carbon transparency further into mainstream procurement, which keeps EPD requests coming on submittals and alternates. The rating system was ratified by USGBC members on March 28, 2025, and is now rolling into market launch phases (USGBC, 2025) (USGBC, 2025). For teams bidding civic, university, healthcare and corporate work, a missing EPD can trigger use of generic proxies with penalties in whole‑building LCAs. That makes a product easier to swap for a competitor that does have a verified declaration.

A likely best‑seller without an EPD and who can replace it

Zee‑Lock is a signature standing‑seam panel for Berridge. We did not find a Berridge EPD for that system. In substitute paths, specifiers sometimes pivot to panel suppliers that can point to an industry‑wide roll‑formed cladding EPD or to insulated metal panel systems with product‑level EPDs when the assembly changes. All Weather Insulated Panels, for instance, publicly lists EPD documentation for wall and roof panels on its site, which can keep a decarbonization‑focused project moving while meeting documentation asks. Different product, same application slot in some envelopes.

Commercial upside of closing the gap

For commodity‑adjacent categories like exterior metal cladding, EPDs help teams compete on merit instead of price alone. They shorten back‑and‑forth during bid clarifications, reduce risk for the architect’s carbon model, and prevent late‑stage substitutions when an owner’s policy requires verified declarations. The cost of developing a credible EPD is typically offset by even one mid‑sized project you keep in play, especially when multiple SKUs can ride on the same study scope.

Signals of sustainability activity to build on

Berridge’s own content emphasizes durability, recyclability and cool‑roof finishes. Their article on why metal roofing is a sustainable choice is a useful narrative for sales teams, even if it is not a third‑party declaration. If the enviromental story is already being told, the next step is to back it with verified numbers. See their perspective here: Why Metal Roofing Is the Most Sustainable Roofing System.

How to create a right‑sized EPD plan

• Prioritize two high‑volume standing‑seam systems first, then a Reveal Series wall panel.
• Use current coil and aluminum EPDs to de‑risk foreground data collection.
• Pick a widely used construction‑products PCR so competitor comparisons are clean.
• Sequence verification so the five‑year clock starts after key bids are registered (EPD International, 2025).

The takeaway for Berridge watchers

The product playbook is strong and specification‑friendly. The EPD playbook is the missing page. Publishing a small set of product‑specific EPDs for the hero panels would close a visible gap, keep Berridge on more shortlists, and make life easier for design teams working under LEED v5 and owner policies. In plain terms, it trades paperwork friction for measurable specability.
