Mohawk Industries: products and EPD coverage, at a glance
Mohawk is everywhere in floors, from carpet tile to LVT to ceramic. The question specifiers ask is simple: will your SKU come with a clean, project‑ready EPD or not. Here is the quick read on where Mohawk shines today and where extra declarations could unlock more specs tomorrow.
Who Mohawk is, in one minute
Mohawk Industries is a diversified flooring manufacturer serving commercial and residential markets worldwide. Brands under the umbrella include Mohawk Group, Daltile, Durkan, Pergo, Quick‑Step, and Marazzi. See their corporate site for commitments and reporting (Mohawk Industries).
What they make
Product breadth is wide. In commercial settings they sell carpet tile and broadloom, luxury vinyl tile and rigid core, resilient tile including ESD, and ceramic tile. On the residential side they add laminate and engineered wood, plus ceramic through Daltile. It is not a pure play, it is a portfolio play.
How many categories and SKUs
Across the group, Mohawk participates in at least five major flooring categories for construction: carpet, resilient, laminate, wood, and ceramic. Within each category there are dozens of collections and, conservatively, hundreds of SKUs across thicknesses, formats, and finishes. Exact counts vary by brand and seasonality.
EPD coverage snapshot
As of November 20, 2025, we see roughly 70 current product‑specific EPDs across Mohawk’s flooring portfolio, plus several for Daltile ceramic tile that are valid into 2030. Coverage is strongest in commercial carpet tile and broadloom, with additional EPDs for LVT, rigid core, resilient tile, and laminate. A large renewal wave lands in 2025, with another cluster in 2029 to 2030, so portfolio‑level planning matters.
Where coverage is strong today
Commercial carpet leads. Multiple modular and broadloom backings are covered, with yarn‑weight variants that map well to spec needs. Resilient is close behind, including LVT families at typical commercial gauges and rigid core. Daltile contributes ceramic EPDs from key plants, which helps on education, healthcare, and back‑of‑house spaces where tile dominates. Third‑party program operators seen across these files include UL Solutions and EPD International, both widely accepted by project teams (UL Solutions, 2024, EPD International, 2024).
Notable gap to watch: wood flooring
Wood and engineered wood appear under‑served relative to Mohawk’s market presence in that category. We did not find current, North America‑market wood flooring EPDs for Mohawk brands as of the date above. That is meaningful because competing engineered wood lines from global players carry valid declarations that specifiers can use without penalties.
The competitive set on typical bids
In commercial carpet, Mohawk most often meets Interface, Shaw Contract, Tarkett, and Milliken. For LVT and rigid core, expect Shaw, Tarkett, Mannington, and AHF in the mix. In ceramic tile, Crossville, Florida Tile, and Florim USA frequently show up. For wood, Tarkett’s engineered wood has a current EPD option in market, which can tilt shortlists when teams standardize on declared products.
Why this matters for specs and scoring
On projects using LEED, a product‑specific, third‑party verified EPD is a clean way to contribute to the Building Product Disclosure and Optimization credits. Without one, teams may be forced to apply conservative default factors, which can nudge a SKU off the board in a close call (USGBC LEED v4.1 MR, 2024). An EPD also smooths corporate procurement where sustainability policies require declared materials.
A practical play for Mohawk brand teams
Prioritize fresh or first‑time EPDs where revenue concentrates and where competitors already show declarations. Wood is the standout opportunity because it opens doors in workplace and hospitality programs that standardize on declared finishes. If timing is tight, a focused data‑collection sprint for a limited set of representative SKUs can publish quickly, then expand by family. The right LCA partner should handle the wrangling across plants, utilities, and bill‑of‑materials so product teams dont lose momentum.
Bottom line for specability
Mohawk’s EPD bench is deep in carpet and resilient, and ceramic has credible coverage via Daltile. Wood is the gap that could unlock incremental wins. Close that, keep an eye on 2025 and 2029 renewal calendars, and the portfolio stays easy to specify without price‑only debates.
Frequently Asked Questions
What flooring categories does Mohawk Industries sell into for construction markets?
Carpet tile and broadloom, luxury vinyl tile and rigid core, resilient tile including ESD, laminate, engineered wood, and ceramic tile.
Where is Mohawks EPD coverage strongest today?
Commercial carpet tile and broadloom have the most coverage, followed by LVT and rigid core, resilient tile, and laminate. Daltile contributes ceramic EPDs that are valid into 2030.
What is the biggest opportunity area for new Mohawk EPDs?
Engineered wood and other wood flooring lines. Competitors offer wood EPDs, and adding these would reduce default factor penalties on projects using material carbon accounting or LEED.
Why do expiring EPDs matter for sales?
Expiring declarations can create gaps right when bids are due. Planning renewals around known clusters, such as the 2025 and 2029 to 2030 windows, keeps specifications frictionless for design teams.
How quickly can a manufacturer add EPDs for a large lineup?
Fast publication is possible when data collection is streamlined and representative SKUs are prioritized first. Teams often start with top sellers, then extend to related styles once a data backbone exists.
