Junckers Industrier: solid hardwood floors, fresh EPDs

Who Junckers is

Junckers Industrier A/S is a specialist in solid hardwood flooring with deep roots in Denmark. Their catalogue centers on solid wood for commercial, residential, and sports applications, plus installation accessories and professional woodcare. See their sustainability hub and EPD downloads here (Junckers EPD page).

What they sell, roughly how broad

Junckers focuses on 100% solid hardwood formats rather than engineered wood. Expect classic two‑strip, single‑stave blocks, wide planks, herringbone variants, and complete sports flooring systems, along with battens, underlays, adhesives, primers and lacquers. Across species, grades, finishes and patterns, that adds up to dozens of SKUs, arguably into the low hundreds when you include surface treatments.

EPD coverage in 2025

Junckers refreshed its EPD set in 2025 across key flooring families with validity to 2030. Current Type III declarations listed by EPD Denmark cover 2‑strip parquet (MD 25119), planks (MD 25120), single‑stave blocks (MD 25122), twin herringbone (MD 25123), and a refurbished 2‑strip parquet line (MD 25121). Each shows 2025 issue and 2030 expiry, which is exactly what specifiers want to see when timelines stretch out (EPD Denmark, 2025) (Parketgulv MD 25119, Plankegulv MD 25120).

Strengths and the fine print

The new EPDs cover the core buying decisions for design and workplace projects that want solid wood. That is a strong baseline. We did not see separate, current operator‑posted EPDs for all accessories or for complete sports floor system assemblies at the time of writing, although Junckers notes selected accessory EPDs on its site. If your bid hinges on a specific adhesive, batten, or foam layer, verify the exact document set early to avoid last‑week surprises (Junckers EPD page).

Where gaps can cost a spec

Many projects still swap between solid wood, engineered wood, and resilient look‑alikes. Competitors in these lanes often publish current EPDs, which can tip procurement when teams must tally BPDO products. Examples include Kährs engineered wood floors with valid EPDs to 2027 (EPD Hub, 2022–2027) (Kährs engineered wood EPD), and Tarkett’s resilient ranges, such as Omnisports and iD series with EPDs current into 2029–2030 (EPD International, 2024–2030) (Tarkett Omnisports EPD, Tarkett iD Inspiration EPD). When an apples‑to‑apples EPD is missing, teams often apply conservative assumptions that penalize comparrison. That can nudge a switch.

Who Junckers typically meets in the market

On wood, you’ll frequently see Kährs, Bauwerk and Boen for engineered options that compete on installation speed and substrate tolerance. On resilient look‑alikes, Tarkett, Forbo, and Armstrong surface a lot in healthcare, education, offices and retail, all with broad EPD portfolios. In sports, vinyl and rubber systems with current EPDs can be alternatives in multi‑use halls and arenas, so a clean documentation package for the chosen floor build‑up matters.

Why EPDs matter to your sales funnel

LEED v4.1 rewards projects that aggregate around 20 qualifying products with EPDs from at least five manufacturers under the BPDO EPD path, with product‑specific Type III EPDs weighted higher in calculations (USGBC, 2025) (USGBC EPD credit guide, USGBC v4.1 credit language, example page). When your floor has a current, third‑party verified EPD, the design team can count it without workarounds, which keeps you in play without price‑only pressure.

Make the most of Junckers’ 2025 updates

If you are bidding Junckers today, bundle the correct EPD PDF with submittals and call out EN 15804+A2 and the 2030 validity right on your cover sheet (EPD Denmark, 2025) (Junckers EPD list). For sports systems, pre‑agree the exact assembly and check whether every layer has an EPD or an accepted equivalent. For accessories, align on named adhesives and finishes early or substitute to a product with its own program‑operator EPD if the owner’s sustainability policy insists.

Picking an LCA partner without drama

Speed and completeness win here. The heavy lift is orchestration across plants, finishes, and variants so the EPD set actually matches what sales pushes week to week. A partner who makes data collection painless inside your organization, then publishes with your preferred operator, keeps your team focused on production and pipeline, not report wrangling. That is how you turn EPDs from paperwork into predictable spec wins.
