Decoustics products and EPD coverage
Decoustics sits inside CertainTeed’s ceilings portfolio and focuses on custom acoustic ceilings and walls with high design freedom. If your project team chases LEED v5 credits or ties specs to product‑specific EPDs, the brand’s transparency posture matters as much as its acoustics and aesthetics.
Where Decoustics plays in the market
Decoustics is CertainTeed’s custom architectural acoustics brand, known for premium, project‑specific ceiling and wall systems. The decoustics.com domain now routes to CertainTeed’s Ceiling and Wall Systems hub, which frames the line within a larger portfolio of mineral fiber, fiberglass, wood, metal, and suspension solutions.
What they sell
The range spans multiple categories rather than a single‑product pure play. Core families include Claro fiberglass panels, Quadrillo wood veneered panels, Solo grooved wood planks, Impressions wood‑look printed surfaces, fabric‑wrapped panels, baffles, architectural forms, and the Ceilencio concealed suspension system. The offer targets high‑spec interiors like corporate, education, hospitality, and civic spaces.
How broad is the catalog
Given finishes, perforations, shapes, cores, and mounting options, Decoustics likely carries several product categories with dozens of base models and hundreds of configurable SKUs. That configurability is the brand’s superpower for design teams who need exact visuals and access to plenums without visual clutter.
EPD coverage at a glance
Public operator libraries are the fastest way to confirm product‑specific EPDs. As of January 7, 2026, we could not locate Decoustics‑branded EPDs in major databases such as EPD International, IBU, ASTM’s program pages, or EPD Norway. CertainTeed does maintain a transparency hub that aggregates many of its EPDs and HPDs across other lines, including gypsum, mineral fiber, and Ecophon families, but Decoustics custom wood and fiberglass systems do not show product‑specific EPD downloads on their product pages today (CertainTeed Transparency Hub). If that changes, it will immediately raise the line’s specability on projects that prefer or require EPDs.
The competitive yardstick
Architects often cross‑shop Decoustics against Armstrong, USG, Rockfon, Knauf Danoline, Hunter Douglas Architectural, Arktura, Turf Design, and Topakustik in similar applications. Several of these competitors publish product‑specific EPDs for key acoustic families. Example. Rockfon’s Mono Acoustic ceiling system holds a verified EPD with validity into August 2029, which keeps it specification‑ready for years to come (EPD Norway, 2029). Armstrong’s catalog includes EPDs for MetalWorks aluminum panels and multiple fiberglass or wood lines listed by ASTM’s EPD program, which helps specifiers check the box in minutes rather than days when bid schedules tighten.
A likely best‑seller that needs an EPD
Quadrillo wood ceilings and walls are frequently spotlighted for premium spaces and appear to be a commercial workhorse in the line. We could not find a publicly posted, product‑specific Quadrillo EPD in operator libraries. When wood aesthetics are required and an EPD is non‑negotiable, specifiers may pivot to Armstrong WoodWorks or other wood acoustic panels with active declarations. That swap is not about performance alone. It is about avoiding the documentation penalty that hits teams without a verified EPD in bids that prioritize LCA transparency under LEED v5.
Why the gap matters commercially
On projects with disclosure targets, a product without a product‑specific EPD often gets modeled with conservative default factors. That can nudge it out of contention even when acoustics and price are solid. The price of one well‑scoped EPD is often earned back with a single mid‑sized win because it removes friction at submittal and keeps the product in the running instead of losing out alot in early shortlist rounds.
Practical moves for specability now
- Triage the Decoustics lineup by sales volume and spec frequency, then prioritize 1 to 3 families for product‑specific EPDs first. Wood veneer and fiberglass panel systems are strong candidates.
- Align on the right PCR before modeling. The fastest path is to mirror the PCR that competitors use for equivalent products, which keeps comparisons clean and avoids reviewer ping‑pong.
- Publish with a mainstream program operator so design teams can find the documents quickly in the usual libraries.
- Keep renewal on a calendar. PCRs evolve, and while EPDs remain valid to their end date, arriving at renewal with current rules avoids last‑minute scrambles.
The 2026 takeaway
Decoustics brings design‑forward acoustics across several categories with deep customization. To win more specs where LEED v5‑style disclosure is table stakes, the brand’s next unlock is clear. Put product‑specific EPDs on the most specified Decoustics families and make them effortless to find. Competitors already treat EPDs as part of the product, not an optional accessory, and the teams who do that tend to stay on drawings instead of being value‑engineered away.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Decoustics have product-specific EPDs for its custom wood or fiberglass acoustic systems?
As of January 7, 2026, we could not find Decoustics-branded EPDs in major public operator libraries. CertainTeed publishes many EPDs for other lines, but Decoustics custom systems did not show downloadable, product-specific EPDs on their pages.
Who does Decoustics typically compete with on EPD-ready acoustic ceilings and walls?
Common alternatives include Armstrong, USG, Rockfon, Knauf Danoline, Hunter Douglas Architectural, Arktura, Turf Design, and Topakustik. Several of these brands publish product-specific EPDs for flagship acoustic families, such as Rockfon Mono Acoustic valid to 2029 (EPD Norway, 2029).
Which Decoustics products should be prioritized for first EPDs?
Focus on the products that drive the most specs: Quadrillo wood panels, Claro fiberglass panels, and Ceilencio-based panel systems. One well-scoped EPD per family yields outsized specability benefits.
