Who Maars is and what they make
Founded in the Netherlands and active globally, Maars Living Walls focuses on modular interior construction. Their catalogue spans single and double‑glazed partitions, butt‑jointed glass, steel and composite solid walls, acoustical and fire‑rated assemblies, integrated doors, and an office pod line. Product names you will see in the wild include Lalinea, Horizon, Panorama, Styleline, String², Metaline, Halo, and several door families.
Product breadth in plain numbers
Across finishes, thicknesses, acoustic ratings, door types, and hardware, Maars participates in several adjacent categories rather than a single pure play. SKU depth is high. Expect dozens of core system variants and comfortably hundreds of configurable options once glazing types, seals, and door leafs enter the mix. That breadth makes a tidy EPD plan more valuable, not less.
Sustainability stance on their site
Maars leans into reuse and modularity with a dedicated sustainability page and a downloadable story that frames demountable walls as long‑life, reconfigurable assets. If you need their current narrative, start here: Sustainability.
EPD coverage today
As of May 14, 2026, we could not locate product‑specific EPDs for Maars in major public registries commonly used by North American and European specifiers. Our searches in the International EPD System library and IBU’s EPD platform did not surface Maars listings (EPD International Library, 2026) (EPD International, 2026), (IBU EPD Online, 2026) (IBU, 2026). If an EPD exists behind a private portal or regional database not indexed by these, it was not findable through those sources on that date.

Why that gap matters commercially
LEED v5 rolls the old disclosure credits into one Building Product Selection and Procurement framework. A product‑specific Type III EPD is listed as foundational documentation that contributes within the Climate Health criteria set, which project teams now count directly in calculators (USGBC, 2025) (USGBC LEED v5 BPSP Criteria, 2025). On projects where the architect needs fast, defensible totals, a product without an EPD often loses tie‑breakers to one with a current, verified declaration.
Competitive set and who shows up with EPDs
Typical rivals in demountable walls include DIRTT, Clestra, Steelcase, Haworth, and several regional specialists. Among these, DIRTT publicly posts multiple Smart EPD declarations for modular wall assemblies and finishes dated February 24, 2025 with five‑year validity windows, making them straightforward to count in submittals (DIRTT SmartEPD, 2025). That means on LEED‑chasing interiors, DIRTT can be the easy button when specifiers filter for EPD‑ready products.
Where Maars likely wins today
Design range is broad, acoustics are a headline, and reuse is core to the brand story. On complex programs with phased fit‑outs, Maars’ modularity can save rework and landfill while keeping visual language tight across space types. That story resonates. It just lands even harder when paired with EPDs so carbon accounting matches the operational flexibility. It’s a small miss to show up without them when competitors walk in with a neat PDF set.
Prioritizing an efficient EPD plan
Start with the highest‑velocity families that repeat across sectors. For Maars, that usually means single and double‑glazed partitions plus the top two door systems in clear acoustic bands. Build one robust bill of materials per family and publish product‑specific EPDs that reflect the real manufacturing routes. Add a variant strategy for coatings and infill so the declarations actually map to what sells. Keep the PCR selection aligned with what competitors already use to avoid comparability headaches and change orders.
One practical risk check
If you sell into tenant improvement, higher‑ed, and healthcare, your short list of SKUs probably covers most revenue. If even one best‑seller lacks an EPD while a rival publishes under a recognized operator, expect more substitution requests and slower approvals. That is not theory. It shows up in bid rooms whenever teams assemble LEED v5 materials calculators that reward product‑specific documentation (USGBC, 2025) (USGBC LEED v5 Overview, 2025).
What good looks like in twelve weeks
A focused wave can publish first EPDs for the top wall family and its primary door companion, scoped to North American markets for speed. Then roll to the next two variants and lock a renewal calendar so nothing ages out near key pursuits. Keep the narrative tight: demountable walls that look great, perform acoustically, and are easy to tally in LEED v5. Add a quick pointer to the sustainability page so sales and dealer partners can land the reuse message at the same time.
Closing thought
Modular walls already solve churn, noise, and brand. Add current, product‑specific EPDs and they also solve procurement math. That combination makes a spec sticky so it stays put through value‑engineering, which is the real win, even if it feels a bit unglamourous.
