Cosentino’s product lineup and EPD coverage
Cosentino is a surfaces giant with brands that show up everywhere from lab benchtops to ventilated facades. The big question for specifiers is simple: do their hero lines come with current, comparable EPDs and where are the gaps that could cost a bid when project teams ask for product‑specific declarations?
Who they are and what they sell
Cosentino makes high‑value architectural surfaces under four headline brands. Silestone is a hybrid mineral surface positioned for kitchens and baths. Dekton is an ultra‑compact sintered slab used for interiors and facades. Sensa and Scalea are curated natural stones for premium projects. The portfolio spans countertops, wall cladding, flooring, shower surrounds, and façade panels.
How broad is the range
Across colors, finishes, sizes, and thicknesses, Cosentino offers products in the hundreds. They serve multiple construction categories rather than a single niche, which is why clear enviromental documentation matters commercially.
EPD coverage at a glance
Silestone and Dekton are covered by product‑specific EPDs in The International EPD System. The Silestone EPD is listed valid through January 30, 2027, and the Dekton EPD is listed valid through December 8, 2026 (EPD International, 2025, EPD International, 2025). In France, Cosentino also publishes FDES entries on INIES for common applications and thicknesses under EN 15804 with the French national addition. FDES records are issued for five years, which aligns with typical renewal cycles in that market (INIES, 2025).
Notable gaps
We did not find publicly listed product‑specific EPDs for Sensa or Scalea as of December 19, 2025 on the major operator libraries checked. That leaves a documentation gap in natural stone lines where owners and GCs increasingly prefer or request product‑specific declarations for credits or procurement policies in healthcare, higher‑ed, and corporate work. When an EPD is missing, project teams often default to conservative generic data that can penalize a submittal on carbon accounting.
Competitive pressure you will actually feel
In sintered stone, Neolith holds an EN 15804+A2 EPD valid to February 3, 2027 (EPD International, 2025). In engineered stone, Caesarstone has multiple A2 EPDs on record with validity into late 2029, which plays well where newer A2 rules are preferred in specs (EPD International, 2024). If a Cosentino stone without an EPD is competing head‑to‑head with one of these SKUs, the spec can tilt fast toward the option with ready documentation.
What this means for getting specified
- If Silestone or Dekton fit the application, their active EPDs will usually satisfy project documentation, including LEED v5 pathways that recognize product‑specific, third‑party verified declarations.
- Natural stone packages for Sensa and Scalea would benefit from product‑specific EPDs or, at minimum, a clearly scoped pathway to them. That reduces back‑and‑forth during submittals and keeps bids from being swapped late in design.
Where to prioritize next
Start with high‑volume, high‑visibility SKUs in Sensa and Scalea that repeatedly show up in RFPs. Pick the PCR used by close competitors so results are comparable in the markets you chase most. An efficient partner will shoulder the data wrangling across quarries, finishing lines, and distribution so your technical and ops teams are not stuck exporting spreadsheets for months.
Business lens, not just compliance
A single mid‑sized project win often offsets the investment to generate an EPD, especially in segments that pre‑screen for declarations. Faster data collection, reliable modeling, and smooth publication with a mainstream operator mean your reps can sell rather than explain paperwork. That is the real ROI.

The spec move
If Cosentino wants full‑portfolio specability, extending EPD coverage to natural stone lines should be the next play. It closes the last credibility gap, keeps options open across geographies that prefer EN 15804+A2, and helps project teams say yes without friction.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Cosentino brands currently have public product‑specific EPDs?
Silestone and Dekton have product‑specific EPDs in The International EPD System with current validity windows, while FDES entries exist in INIES for applications commonly used in France (EPD International, 2025; INIES, 2025).
How long are INIES FDES records valid?
FDES entries are issued for five years before renewal is needed under the program’s rules (INIES, 2025).
Do close competitors for sintered and engineered stone have EPDs?
Yes. Neolith’s A2 EPD is valid to 2027 and Caesarstone has A2 EPDs with validity into 2029, which can influence specs where A2 is preferred (EPD International, 2025; EPD International, 2024).
What should be prioritized if expanding EPD coverage at Cosentino?
Target Sensa and Scalea top sellers first, align PCR choice with competitor norms, and streamline multi‑site data collection so publication slots stay on schedule.
