Lenzlinger: products and EPD coverage in one view

Who Lenzlinger is

Founded in 1862, Lenzlinger operates as a specialist in two construction-facing lines of business: raised access floors for offices, data centers and critical rooms, and a separate unit that sells and installs a wide range of floor coverings for residential and commercial spaces. They also run two fuel stations, which is outside our scope for building product transparency.

Product spread at a glance

In raised floors, Lenzlinger offers full systems, panels and understructures, with surface options that cover textile, wood and hard finishes. That puts them in the same aisle as global access-floor makers. In floor coverings, their catalog spans parquet, carpet, linoleum, LVT, cork, rubber and more. Count the SKUs very roughly in the dozens for raised-floor system variants and in the hundreds for floor‑covering options.

How well are these covered by EPDs

We could not locate Lenzlinger‑branded, product‑specific EPDs in major public program‑operator catalogs or on their site as of January 20, 2026. That does not mean none exist, only that they are not easily discoverable by specifiers. In practice, the floor‑covering unit likely installs third‑party brands that sometimes carry their own EPDs, yet those documents usually credit the brand owner, not the installer, which limits how often Lenzlinger appears in EPD‑driven shortlists.

Competitive context for raised floors

Several direct competitors publish product EPDs for panels and pedestals. Kingspan Access Floors lists multiple access‑floor panels and pedestal systems with validity running through March 2026 (EPD International, 2026) (EPD International, 2026). Italian maker JVP has raised‑floor panel EPDs valid into 2027, albeit under older A1 rules, which still surface in many specs (EPD International, 2027) (EPD International, 2027). These show up in European and global bids and are easy for teams to download and drop into submittals.

Why that matters in 2026 specs

LEED v5 was ratified by USGBC members on March 28, 2025 and keeps disclosure while pushing harder on embodied‑carbon performance. Product‑specific Type III EPDs remain a core pathway under Materials and Resources, and owner policies increasingly ask for them in bid docs (USGBC, 2025) (USGBC, 2025). When a project team cannot find an EPD for a product, they must default to conservative assumptions, which makes an otherwise competitive SKU easier to swap for one that comes with a verified declaration. Specifiers will definately notice.

Likely best seller without visible EPD, and a ready comparator

A flagship Lenzlinger system is the composite raised floor with factory‑applied finishes. If that system lacks a public EPD, it will often be compared against Kingspan’s FDEB series, which has published panel EPDs in Europe with validity through March 2026 (EPD International, 2026). In a tie on price and performance, the EPD‑backed SKU is more likely to stick in the submittal because it keeps the LEED paperwork clean.

Floor‑covering unit, in brief

Here Lenzlinger acts as advisor and installer across many brands. Some categories, like LVT and rubber, have numerous manufacturer EPDs available on public registries. If Lenzlinger wants their name to appear in EPD‑driven schedules, two routes help: publish EPDs for any private‑label lines, or ensure brand partners’ EPDs are referenced in proposals so the spec sees a complete, compliant package.

Main competitors you will meet on projects

Expect to see Kingspan Access Floors and Tate in multinational accounts, plus European specialists such as JVP, CBI Europe and Polygroup in offices, education and data centers. In floor coverings, the competition fragments by material type, where global brands with mature EPD libraries often set the pace.

A pragmatic coverage plan

Start with a product‑specific EPD for the top revenue raised‑floor system, then add pedestals and a second panel variant to cover the majority of bill‑of‑materials. Pick a program operator common in your key markets, for example IBU in DACH or EPD International for pan‑EU reach. Time the work so renewals do not collide across the portfolio, since EPDs run on multi‑year cycles and renewal windows can bunch up if not planned. Teams that streamline plant‑data collection and verification up front avoid month‑long delays later, which is where the real ROI lives when a bid has EPD‑based checkboxes.

What this means for Lenzlinger’s next spec year

They already have the product breadth and installed base. Converting the flagship raised‑floor system into a visible, downloadable EPD closes a discoverability gap and reduces substitution risk in LEED‑tracked projects. One strong declaration can unlock follow‑ons for variants and accessories, and it helps sales talk value instead of wrestling with compliance footnotes.
