Impact Acoustic: products and EPD coverage

Who they are and what they sell

Impact Acoustic is a pure play in architectural acoustics. The range spans wall and ceiling panels, ceiling baffles, room and desk dividers, acoustic curtains and shading, and a fast‑growing family of acoustic lighting. The SKU count lands in the dozens to low hundreds across ready‑made items, with extensive custom options. See their sustainability page for a quick credential roll‑up: Eco labels.

What already carries an EPD

Their core material, ARCHISONIC Felt, has UL‑program product‑specific EPDs for 12 mm and 24 mm panel stock, currently listed with a five‑year validity into April 2027 (UL Solutions, 2022). That gives designers a clean compliance path when the finished product is essentially this felt cut and installed as panels, baffles, or dividers.

Impact Acoustic also markets ARCHISONIC Cotton, a cellulose‑based acoustic tile line aimed at circularity. The company promotes an EPD for Cotton on product pages, but we could not locate a publicly hosted program‑operator record to cite for dates. That is not unusual for newer material families still rolling through verification.

Where coverage is thinner

Many SKUs layer the felt into assemblies like acoustic lighting or complex room systems. We did not find product‑specific, third‑party EPDs for these finished luminaires. In practice, teams often fall back to the material EPD for the felt, which helps but may not unlock every credit where product scope matters. If a best seller like Orbis or Horizon is in your submittal set, confirm whether the material EPD will suffice for the project’s documentation rules or if a full assembly EPD is needed.

Why this matters commercially

LEED projects continue to award credit for third‑party verified EPDs. Under v4.1, Option 1 typically counts 20 qualifying products from at least five manufacturers, with product‑specific Type III EPDs weighted as 1.5 products (USGBC, 2024). LEED v5, balloted in 2025, keeps disclosure while pushing embodied‑carbon accounting to the foreground, which increases the day‑one importance of EPDs across major finishes and fit‑outs (USGBC, 2025). Miss the paperwork and your product can lose its seat at the table before price is even discussed. It’s a real blind spot teh sales teams feel when submittals start.

Competitors you’ll meet on specs

Impact Acoustic most often contends with PET‑felt specialists and design‑led acoustic brands in offices, education, and hospitality. Two frequent matchups have robust EPD coverage:

• Autex Acoustics: interior acoustic panels and tiles carry Global GreenTag EPDs with current listings through January 24, 2027 (Global GreenTag, 2025).
• Woven Image’s EchoPanel, widely distributed in North America via Kirei, is marketed with an EPD and appears across Global GreenTag’s directory (Global GreenTag, 2025).

Another fast mover is Acoufelt in the US, which achieved multiple EN 15804+A2 EPDs covering 22 products in 2024 (Global GreenTag, 2024). When a project demands EPD‑documented acoustics, these portfolios can become drop‑in alternates if a comparable Impact Acoustic SKU lacks a product‑specific declaration.

Practical playbook for closing the gaps

• Prioritize high‑velocity SKUs used as assemblies, not just sheet goods. Acoustic lighting and modular dividers are prime candidates.
• Pick the common PCR used by peers in your category so reviewers can benchmark apples to apples. A good LCA partner will map the competitive PCR landscape for you.
• Make data collection painless. The speed limiter on most EPDs is wrangling plant utilities, bill of materials, and packaging data across sites. Teams that systematize this step finish weeks faster and keep engineering focused on product.

Bottom line for specability

Impact Acoustic’s material‑level EPDs cover a meaningful slice of their felt‑based range. As they scale Cotton and assembly‑level systems, pulling EPDs through to the finished products will protect spec share on LEED‑leaning work and corporate fit‑outs with strict disclosure policies. In a category where rivals already publish portfolio‑wide EPDs, closing those last gaps is the difference between being considered first or swapped at submittal.

(UL Solutions, 2022) 12 mm and 24 mm ARCHISONIC Felt EPDs show five‑year validity to April 2027 and product‑specific Type III status.

(USGBC, 2024) LEED v4.1 BPDO EPD credit structure confirms the 20 products from 5 manufacturers rule and 1.5x weighting for product‑specific Type III EPDs.

(USGBC, 2025) LEED v5 guidance emphasizes decarbonization and sustained disclosure across materials and operations.
