Fiberon in brief: products, rivals, and EPD coverage

5 min read
Published: December 6, 2025

Composite stalwart Fiberon builds the outdoor living kit architects actually specify: multiple decking families, matching railing lines, cladding, lighting, and fasteners. Their public library shows Environmental Product Declarations for flagship decking and Wildwood cladding, with a few gaps that matter commercially. If a project team filters bids by product‑specific EPDs, missing documents can quietly block you from shortlists. Fiberon’s own sustainability hub hints at scale and intent, yet specifers still need clear paperwork.

Who Fiberon is, and what they sell

Fiberon sits squarely in wood‑alternative outdoor living. The portfolio spans composite and PVC decking families, four primary railing systems, Wildwood composite cladding, a full lighting range, and hidden fasteners. Across colors, profiles, and lengths, total SKUs land in the hundreds.

Product categories at a glance

  • Decking families: Concordia, Sanctuary, Good Life, Paramount PVC, ArmorGuard and retail exclusives.
  • Railing: CitySide, CountrySide, Brio, ArmorGuard.
  • Cladding: Wildwood (Eden and Sahara collections).
  • Accessories: lighting, fascia, trim, hidden fasteners.

What already carries an EPD

Fiberon publishes product‑specific EPDs for composite decking and for Wildwood cladding, verified by SCS Global Services and accessible from their literature library (Fiberon Literature Library, 2025) (Literature Library, 2025). Wildwood’s EPD was announced publicly by SCS after completing an ISO‑conformant LCA that aligns with LEED v4 requirements, a helpful signal for design teams who vet documentation closely (SCS Global Services, 2023) (SCS Global Services, 2023).

Coverage strength

Decking coverage is broad. Key families commonly specified in commercial and mixed‑use jobs, including Concordia, Sanctuary, Good Life, and Paramount PVC, are represented among Fiberon’s posted EPDs. Wildwood cladding is covered as well, so building envelopes do not default to generic data in carbon accounting.

Likely gaps worth closing

Two areas look light as of December 2025. First, railing, lighting, and fasteners do not show product‑specific EPDs in the public library. Second, certain premium PVC decking variants, like Promenade, do not have an individually linked EPD on the same page. Both observations come from Fiberon’s own resources rather than third‑party lists, which is the lens many spec teams will use during submittals (Fiberon Literature Library, 2025).

Why gaps matter in bids

On projects that require product‑specific EPDs, missing paperwork forces modelers to use conservative default factors. That creates unnecessary friction and can tip a like‑for‑like swap toward a brand that has the document ready. A simple example is a premium PVC board class. At least one major rival, TimberTech by The AZEK Company, states that EPDs for TimberTech decking are available at smartepd.com, which gives their reps clean footing in LEED‑oriented pursuits (The AZEK Company Sustainability Report, 2025) (AZEK Sustainability, 2025).

Competitive set you’ll meet on specs

Fiberon most often faces TimberTech, Trex, Deckorators, MoistureShield, and Envision in North American decks, plus thermally modified wood or aluminum options on certain fire or maintenance constraints. For cladding, wood‑look composites and high‑pressure laminates may also appear in alternates. The brands with crisp, easily downloadable EPDs tend to enter schedules earlier and stay there longer.

Where to focus next for maximum ROI

If you only tackle two moves, prioritize a product‑specific EPD for your best‑selling railing line and for any premium PVC decking not already linked in your library. Those SKUs often anchor the upsell package on multi‑family, education, and retail. Pick a partner who handles the data wrangling across plants, aligns to the prevailing PCR your competitors use, and can publish with the operator your customers recognize. That combination shortens the review loop and minimizes back‑and‑forth during submittals.

A quick sourcing note for teams

Finding the right PCR is a practical choice, not a philosophy debate. Start with what competing alternates cite, check the revision window and operator, then lock the scope to the module coverage your customers ask for. The heavy lift is always data collection. A white‑glove approach inside the factory keeps R&D and operations focused on throughput while the LCA gets done quickly and to a standard specifiers trust.

Bringing it together

Fiberon’s catalog is deep, and their posted EPDs cover the core of composite decking and Wildwood cladding. Close the railing and any remaining PVC decking gaps, keep the literature library tidy and obvious, and you convert sustainability paperwork into a repeatable bid advantage. It is not just about credits, it is about staying in the spec the first time and not being swapped out later. Dont leave that to chance.

Which Fiberon products currently have publicly posted EPDs?

Fiberon lists EPDs for composite decking and for Wildwood composite cladding in its literature library, verified by SCS Global Services (Fiberon Literature Library, 2025) (Literature Library, 2025).

Are railing components covered by EPDs today?

We did not find product‑specific railing EPDs on Fiberon’s literature page as of December 2025, which is what many submittal reviewers check first (Fiberon Literature Library, 2025).

Do competitors publish EPDs for similar decking products?

Yes. TimberTech states EPDs for its decking are available at smartepd.com in its 2025 sustainability report, which is frequently referenced by AEC teams (The AZEK Company Sustainability Report, 2025) (AZEK Sustainability, 2025).
