Momentum Textiles & Wallcovering: EPD coverage at a glance
A giant catalog and bold sustainability claims make Momentum hard to ignore. The question specifiers ask in 2025 is simpler. Which of those textiles, wallcoverings, acoustics, and protection lines actually come with third‑party verified EPDs that unlock project preferences and keep them in the spec when LEED v5 minded teams tighten requirements?
Who they are and what they sell
Momentum Textiles & Wallcovering is a major US supplier active in four product universes that regularly show up on construction specs. Textiles for upholstery, wallcovering across Type II and PVC‑free options, acoustic panels and blocks, and a growing wall protection line. Their catalog is very large, with textiles and wallcoverings promoted as 1,000 plus patterns and 20,000 plus colorways, which puts total SKUs easily in the thousands [Momentum, 2025]. You can scan their sustainability posture here on their own site: Momentum sustainability.
What looks EPD‑ready today
The headline this year is verification for Silica Coated Textiles. A product‑specific EPD was published on April 23, 2025 and is valid to April 23, 2030, under the International EPD System EPD International, 2025. Momentum also markets Circon, a bio‑sourced Type II wallcovering substrate, as carbon neutral with HPD and a product‑specific EPD listed on their site [Momentum, 2025]. On the acoustics side, Momentum’s Muratto partnership matters. Muratto’s Organic Blocks collection carries an EPD through Portugal’s DAPhabitat program, announced in April 2024 and listed among published ECO EPDs DAPhabitat, 2025.
Likely gaps across the portfolio
Given the size of Momentum’s textile and wallcovering universe, current EPD coverage appears concentrated in select flagship lines rather than portfolio‑wide as of December 19, 2025. Many coated and woven textiles, plus legacy vinyl patterns, seem to rely on HPDs and low‑VOC testing instead of verified EPDs. That is common in this category, but it still creates friction when owners or GCs ask for product‑specific declarations under stricter procurement rules. If a spec calls for an EPD and a given Momentum SKU lacks one, project teams will default to conservative carbon assumptions. That penalty makes it easier to swap in a competing product that publishes an EPD.
Competitors Momentum often meets on the board
In wallcoverings, Versa Designed Surfaces signals a Global EPD for most Type II constructions and provides HPDs widely [Versa, 2025]. Koroseal lists EPD documents for select Type II wallcoverings on product pages [Koroseal, 2025]. In textiles that can double as wall panels or wrapped systems, Carnegie’s Biobased Xorel has a product‑specific EPD valid to February 1, 2029 EPD International, 2024. These are the names specifiers know in healthcare, workplace, hospitality, and education. When EPDs are requested, they often become the default shortlist.
A quick read on commercial stakes
LEED v5 is tightening attention on product‑specific disclosures and embodied carbon accounting. When an EPD is missing, design teams often have to plug in higher default impacts, which can push a SKU out of consideration even if price and performance are strong. An EPD keeps you from competing only on price and reduces the risk of late‑stage substitution that quietly erodes revenue. We see sales teams lose time chasing exceptions. Better to make the question go away with verified paperwork.
Where Momentum could close the gap fast
Start with the highest‑volume coated textiles and the most‑specified Type II wallcoverings outside Circon. Bundle patterns that share the same substrate and finishing into family EPDs where the PCR allows it. Use recent production data and centralize utility and material inputs so the next renewal is faster. Pick a partner that runs the data collection for you across plants, rather than handing your R&D team a spreadsheet and hoping for the best. That white‑glove approach cuts cycle time and preserves your experts’ attention for the line updates that actually move demand.
If a bestseller lacks an EPD, what then
Take a coated EPU textile that sells well but does not show an EPD on its page. In a hospital fit‑out with an EPD requirement, the spec could tilt to a wall‑panel fabric like Biobased Xorel with its verified declaration EPD International, 2024. For wallcovering, a Versa or Koroseal pattern with an available EPD is an easy substitution in the eyes of a project manager [Versa, 2025; Koroseal, 2025]. Momentum’s Circon and Silica lines already show how to compete with proof. Extending that coverage to the next tier of volume SKUs is the fastest route to protecting pipeline. Spec teams dont wait.
What to watch next
Momentum’s brand banking on innovation is clear, from Silica textiles to Circon’s bio‑sourced substrate. The commercial win is simple. Grow EPD coverage so the paperwork matches the design story across their top movers. That alignment removes friction for architects, strengthens distributor handoffs, and keeps Momentum present when sustainability screens tighten. It is the difference between a product that gets pinned to a mood board and one that actually reaches the punch list.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Momentum lines have third‑party verified EPDs as of December 19, 2025?
Silica Coated Textiles has a published EPD valid to April 23, 2030 EPD International, 2025. Momentum markets Circon wallcovering as carrying an EPD on its site [Momentum, 2025]. Muratto Organic Blocks, offered by Momentum in acoustics, has an EPD via DAPhabitat DAPhabitat, 2025.
How big is Momentum’s catalog, roughly?
Momentum promotes more than 1,000 patterns in textiles and over 1,000 patterns in wallcoverings with over 20,000 colorways, so the total SKUs are in the thousands [Momentum, 2025].
Who are typical competitors with EPDs in this space?
Versa Designed Surfaces indicates a Global EPD for most Type II wallcoverings [Versa, 2025]. Koroseal lists EPDs on individual product pages [Koroseal, 2025]. Carnegie’s Biobased Xorel textile has a product‑specific EPD valid to 2029 EPD International, 2024.
Does an older but valid EPD still help with specs?
Yes. If an EPD is within its validity window, design teams generally accept it. Age within that window matters far less than simply having a verified declaration that avoids conservative default impacts in carbon accounting.
