Crossville Inc.: what they make and where EPDs stand

Crossville at a glance

Crossville Inc. is a U.S. manufacturer best known for porcelain floor and wall tile, with additional lines in gauged porcelain panels and glass and ceramic wall tile. The portfolio spans multiple categories rather than a single‑product play, and individual SKUs run into the hundreds.

Product range in plain English

Think four buckets most specifiers touch regularly:

• Porcelain floor and wall tile for high‑traffic interiors and exteriors
• Gauged porcelain tile panels for walls, floors, and countertops
• Ceramic wall tile programs for interiors
• Glass tile mosaics and accents

This mix lets Crossville compete broadly in healthcare, workplace, hospitality, multifamily, and education, not just in one niche.

EPD coverage snapshot in 2025

Crossville’s porcelain tile has a current, program‑listed EPD published February 27, 2025 and valid until February 27, 2030, registered to parent company AHF Products in the International EPD System (EPD International, 2025) (EPD International, 2025). A separate Carbon Neutral Porcelain Tile EPD with the same dates is also live in the same registry (EPD International, 2025) (EPD International, 2025).

Crossville’s porcelain tile panels are sold in partnership with Laminam and are supported by an EPD issued through EPDItaly, which many project teams accept for panel specs in North America (EPDItaly, 2021).

Where coverage is strongest

Porcelain collections are the best covered. They carry the current 2025 EPD and an additional carbon‑neutral EPD that can satisfy Owner requirements for product‑specific disclosures on many programs. That makes day‑to‑day substitution risk lower when a project’s spec calls for EPDs for flooring.

Likely gaps a specifier will notice

Two areas often show thinner documentation today:

1. Glass tile lines. Crossville lists HPDs and Declare for many wall programs, yet we did not find a product‑specific glass tile EPD referenced on their sustainability page at the time of writing. Competing manufacturers do publish glass tile EPDs, which can tip the scale on projects that mandate EPDs for all finish materials. Fireclay Tile, for example, has a 2025 Glass Tile EPD in the International EPD System (EPD International, 2025) (EPD International, 2025).
2. Some ceramic wall‑only series. Where a porcelain alternative is feasible, the porcelain EPD can keep you in bounds. Where only ceramic will do, the absence of a product‑specific EPD can add friction in submittals.

Why the gaps matter commercially

When an interior finish lacks a product‑specific EPD, design teams often must model impacts with conservative defaults that carry a penalty. That can push a tile without an EPD out of contention even if it is a perfect aesthetic match. A current, project‑ready EPD keeps you from competing on price alone and makes substitutions less likely once you’re written into the spec.

Competitive picture you’ll run into on bids

On porcelain and ceramic, Crossville frequently faces Daltile, Florida Tile, Florim USA, Emser, MSI, and Porcelanosa in commercial work. Several of these brands actively refresh EPDs. Daltile, for example, registered factory‑specific tile EPDs in June 2025 with five‑year validity in the International EPD System (EPD International, 2025).

On gauged porcelain panels, Laminam’s EPD coverage is commonly accepted for Crossville’s panel offer, while other panel makers such as Florim and Panariagroup brands also publish program‑listed panel EPDs.

On glass, competitors with published product‑specific EPDs can gain an edge in healthcare, higher‑ed, and corporate interiors where procurement rules ask for EPDs across all finishes. That is where Crossville is most likely to lose a spec if documentation is missing for a glass accent that ties a scheme together.

A practical playbook to close the distance

If we were prioritizing for a sales team, we’d start with SKUs that see the most substitution pressure in regulated or policy‑driven projects.

1. Map revenue to the top 20 glass and ceramic wall SKUs specified on commercial jobs in the last 12 months.
2. Confirm whether each SKU can be covered by an existing category EPD or needs a product‑specific declaration.
3. Stand up a fast data pull at plant level so your LCA partner can publish program‑listed EPDs without tying up ops. Aim for portfolio EPDs that efficiently cover families, then layer product‑specific EPDs for true best sellers.

That sequence usually removes the biggest roadblocks with the least disruption, and it keeps your submittal packets consistent across divisions.

One more note on where to find Crossville’s documents

Because Crossville’s porcelain tile EPDs are registered to AHF Products in the International EPD System, some databases and portals list them under AHF rather than “Crossville.” Spec writers should search both names to avoid a false negative. It’s a small thing, but it saves hours during submittals.

Bottom line for specability

Crossville is a multi‑category tile brand with strong porcelain EPDs, credible support for panels, and room to grow on glass and select ceramic wall lines. Closing those gaps would protect specs across healthcare and workplace projects where all finishes are scrutinized. The heavy lift is not modeling, it’s data wrangling inside the plant. Pick an LCA partner who makes that easy and publishes quickly. Otherwise you risk losing out on specs you never even see. That would be a shame for such a solid enviromental profile.
