Mannington Mills: products and EPD coverage
Mannington Mills sits in a crowded flooring arena where EPDs can unlock specs that price alone never will. Here’s a tight snapshot of what they make, how broadly those ranges are covered by EPDs as of November 2025, and where a few quick wins could boost specability in healthcare, education, and workplace projects.
Who Mannington Mills is
Founded in Salem, New Jersey, Mannington Mills operates a multi‑brand portfolio across commercial and residential flooring. On the commercial side, specifiers will know Mannington Commercial, Burke (rubber and wall base), and Amtico for LVT. Think of them as a “full‑line” player rather than a pure specialist.
What they sell, at a glance
Across commercial, Mannington offers carpet tile and broadloom, luxury vinyl tile and plank, heterogeneous and homogeneous sheet, rubber tile and treads, wall base and accessories, entryway systems, and a poured “liquid linoleum” option. The SKU depth is in the hundreds, with collections tuned to high‑traffic spaces like healthcare corridors, classrooms, labs, and offices.
EPD coverage today
Coverage is strongest in carpet tile. Mannington’s modular platforms such as Infinity 2 and rEvolve II carry current, product‑specific EPDs across many face weights, which shows up quickly in submittals for offices and education. We also see EPDs in resilient accessories like Burke wall base and in select resilient platforms including specialty sheet constructions. Amtico’s commercial LVT pages list EPD downloads for specific collections, particularly in Europe, which is helpful for multinational specs.
If you’re specifying in North America, verify that the exact construction, thickness, and backing you intend to use has a matching, valid EPD for that region. Model numbers and wear layers matter. One letter off, and the credit does not count.
Why this matters to getting specified
LEED v4.1 still rewards teams that prioritize products with EPDs. Projects can earn disclosure credit by using at least 20 qualifying products from five manufacturers, with product‑specific Type III EPDs valued higher in calculations (USGBC, 2025) (USGBC LEED Credit Library, 2025). On competitive bids, a missing EPD forces design teams to default to conservative carbon values, which can penalize a product in materials accounting. Products with product‑specific EPDs avoid that friction and move faster through procurement.
Notable gaps and watch‑outs
LVT coverage appears mixed by geography and platform. Many spec teams in the U.S. default to Mannington Commercial LVT for healthcare and education. Make sure the exact wear layer and plank gauge you’re submitting has a current, product‑specific EPD published by a recognized operator for your market. If it doesn’t, you may lose to a like‑for‑like LVT that does, even when your performance story is stronger. It’s a small document with outsized commercial impact.
Two practical checks that pay off:
- Confirm the EPD aligns to the latest applicable PCR for flooring and is valid through the project’s procurement window.
- Ensure accessories that ride the spec, like wall base and rubber transitions, have EPDs so they contribute rather than dilute credit calculations.
Who they go up against on projects
In carpet tile, Interface and Shaw Contract routinely field deep, current EPD libraries across core platforms, which keeps them front‑of‑mind for LEED‑chasing work (Interface EPDs, 2025) and (Shaw Contract EPD hub, 2025). In resilient and LVT, Tarkett, Shaw Contract, Interface, and specialized rubber players often present full transparency packages that make approvals quick. For linoleum and bio‑based alternatives, European brands frequently bring robust declarations that resonate in healthcare and education.
Where Mannington is advantaged
Depth in carpet tile EPDs, U.S. manufacturing for key resilient lines, and transparency tooling on their site make documentation easier. Their Transparency page centralizes declarations, which reduces submittal back‑and‑forth and keeps sales cycles moving. When combined with U.S.‑made sheet and rubber options, this can shorten schedules across healthcare and education programs.
A quick win playbook for the spec season
If an Amtico or Mannington LVT collection is a best seller in your vertical, audit it for product‑specific EPD coverage by thickness and finish, then fill gaps first. That single move protects recurring wins in system standards and IDIQ contracts. For big programs, pair carpet tile with matching EPDs for base and transitions to keep every line item contributing to MR credits. LEED v4.1 disclosure thresholds are met with breadth across manufacturers and products, not by one hero SKU (USGBC, 2025) (USGBC LEED Credit Library, 2025).
Bottom line for manufacturers reading this
EPDs aren’t paperwork. They are permission slips to compete without margin‑eroding discounts when projects track embodied carbon. The teams that collect data once, publish cleanly, and maintain renewals across their top 20 movers keep winning specs others dont see.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Mannington product families most consistently show current EPDs for commercial projects?
Carpet tile platforms such as Infinity 2 and rEvolve II are broadly covered. Resilient accessories like Burke wall base and select resilient sheet systems also have current declarations. Always verify the exact SKU, thickness, and backing in your region.
If my preferred Mannington LVT lacks a product‑specific EPD in my market, what’s the fastest workaround?
Submit the closest matching product with a current Type III EPD from the same brand, confirm performance equivalence with the design team, and start an EPD for the original SKU in parallel. Many projects accept minor aesthetic shifts to retain credits.
How do EPDs translate to LEED points on real bids?
LEED v4.1 rewards disclosure breadth. Use at least 20 qualifying products from five manufacturers for the MR EPD path, with product‑specific Type III EPDs valued higher in the tally (USGBC, 2025) (USGBC LEED Credit Library, 2025).
