BOEN at a glance: floors and EPDs
BOEN is a heritage wood‑flooring brand under the Bauwerk Group umbrella. The portfolio leans heavily into engineered parquet that shows up in homes, workplaces, hospitality and schools. If your team sells into projects that prefer or require product‑specific EPDs, this snapshot helps you see what’s already covered and where a few gaps may still cost specs.
What BOEN makes
BOEN focuses on engineered hardwood flooring. The core ranges are 3‑layer click planks and 2‑layer tongue‑and‑groove formats, offered as wide planks, herringbone and chevron. They also sell accessories like skirtings, stair nosings, underlay, and care products, plus a dedicated BOEN Sport line. Product assortment varies by region, but globally the SKU count lands in the hundreds.

EPD coverage today
The flagship parquet families are covered by two product‑specific EPDs published with IBU. One covers 3‑layer parquet and the other covers 2‑layer parquet. Both were issued in October 2022 and remain valid through August 22, 2027 (IBU EPD, 2022) (3‑layer PDF) (2‑layer PDF). Because these EPDs are average across multiple plants, they credibly represent most plank sizes and surface treatments in the portfolio.
Where coverage looks thin
We could not find product‑specific EPDs published for accessories such as underlay, stair nosings, or adhesives in BOEN’s catalog, and the BOEN Sport site highlights environmental statements without an EPD download. If the sports systems lack an EPD, sales into education and municipal projects can slow since spec teams may default to a conservative generic dataset that penalizes products without verified declarations. That is avoidable.
Product range depth (and why it matters)
BOEN plays in several sub‑categories rather than a single niche. Expect multiple wood species, grades and finishes across both 2‑layer and 3‑layer constructions. That breadth is a commercial strength. It also means a few high‑volume variants can sit just outside current EPD scope, which is where competitors can sneak in even when performance and aesthetics match.
Likely competitors on the same bids
On commercial and premium residential projects, BOEN most often meets other European wood specialists. Examples include Kährs for engineered wood, Tarkett’s wood collections with EPDs on IBU, and Junckers with solid wood systems widely used in sports and assembly spaces (IBU, 2025) (Tarkett wood EPD listing) (EPD Denmark, 2025) (Junckers EPD search).
Missed‑spec risk and a simple fix
When a bidder lacks a product‑specific EPD for a targeted space, project teams often swap in a rival that has one. Not because the rival is greener by default, but because carbon accounting rules in certifications like LEED v5 prefer verified product data. If a BOEN best‑seller for schools is herringbone 2‑layer with a specific underlay, and the underlay lacks an EPD, that package may face a documentation penalty. Add the missing declaration and the same design becomes easy to approve.
Quick priorities for stronger specability
- Keep the two parquet EPDs visible in every submittal set and update before the August 2027 expiry.
- Close gaps for accessories used in standard install packages, especially underlay and adhesives that ride along with many SKUs.
- Confirm whether BOEN Sport systems have a publishable EPD. If not, start there. One gym win can repay the paperwork many times over.
Bottom line for manufacturers reading this
BOEN shows how a focused EPD strategy can cover most revenue with just two well‑scoped declarations. The last mile is where revenue leaks. Map your top three install packages by volume, then make sure each component has a current, third‑party verified EPD. It sounds simple, but teams often miss it in teh rush of daily sales. That small alignment keeps products in the running on projects where documentation is the tie‑breaker.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does BOEN have product-specific EPDs for its main engineered parquet lines and how long are they valid?
Are BOEN’s accessories and sports systems covered by EPDs?
We did not find published EPDs for accessories or the BOEN Sport systems on their sites. If these lack EPDs, they are candidates to prioritize next.
Which competitors in wood flooring commonly present EPDs on bids?
Engineered and solid wood peers like Tarkett and Junckers routinely publish EPDs. See IBU listings for Tarkett and EPD Denmark for Junckers (IBU, 2025) (EPD Denmark, 2025).
