Momentum Textiles & Wallcovering: EPD Coverage Snapshot
A giant in contract interiors with thousands of SKUs, Momentum is leaning into transparency on a few flagship lines while much of the catalog still reads “EPD to‑come.” If your projects prefer products with published EPDs, here is where Momentum shines today and where specifiers might still reach for alternatives.
Who they are and what they sell
Momentum Textiles & Wallcovering supplies commercial interiors across workplace, healthcare, hospitality, and education. The portfolio spans four core ranges: textiles, wallcovering, wall protection, and acoustics.
Their site positions them as having over 1,000 textile patterns and over 1,000 wallcovering patterns with more than 20,000 colorways, which places the assortment firmly in the thousands of SKUs (Momentum website, 2025) (Momentum, 2025).
The short version on EPDs
Coverage today is selective rather than comprehensive. Momentum has product‑specific EPDs on two high‑visibility platforms and access to an EPD through a partner substrate. That is a strong start, not a full house.
Where Momentum already has EPDs
Silica coated textiles carry a verified EPD in the International EPD System with validity through April 23, 2030 (EPD International, 2025) (EPD International, 2025). This addresses a large slice of their PVC‑free, healthcare‑friendly upholstery story.
Circon bio‑sourced Type II wallcovering, developed with Versa Designed Surfaces, is marketed with a product‑specific EPD alongside an HPD on Versa’s declarations page. That means projects can specify Momentum designs built on Circon and still meet product transparency asks, provided the substrate and construction align (Versa Designed Surfaces, 2025).
Momentum also distributes Muratto cork acoustics. Muratto announced EPD certification on its Organic Blocks collection in 2024, useful for projects that want natural materials with published impacts (Muratto News, 2024).
Likely gaps to watch
Given the sheer size of the catalog, most woven upholsteries and many standard wallcoverings still do not show a product‑specific EPD on their product pages. As a concrete example, coated PVC‑free textiles such as Endurance EPU and Mogul EPU list specs and certifications, yet we did not find a public EPD on their pages as of December 19, 2025 (Momentum product pages, 2025). That is not a knock on performance. It simply means specifers that must log embodied‑carbon numbers may reach for an alternative with a published declaration.
Why this matters commercially
LEED v5 proposals and many owner standards prefer product‑specific EPDs because they avoid using conservative defaults in carbon accounting. When a line lacks EPD coverage, the product can be just as durable, cleanable, and beautiful, but it competes at a handicap in documentation. One missing PDF can quietly divert a spec to a rival that is easier to document.
Competitive set on typical projects
In textiles and wallcoverings, Momentum often meets Designtex, Carnegie, Maharam, Arc‑Com, and Wolf‑Gordon on the finish schedule. At least some Designtex wallcoverings list EPDs in their product resources, which can be decisive on documentation‑sensitive jobs (Designtex, 2025). Carnegie offers a third‑party verified EPD for Biobased Xorel textiles with validity to February 1, 2029, giving specifiers an upholstery and wall panel option with published numbers (EPD International, 2024) (EPD International, 2024).
What a smart EPD roadmap could look like
- Prioritize high‑volume woven upholsteries used in healthcare and workplace seating. Start with the two or three mills that account for most yardage. One EPD per construction can unlock dozens of SKUs when patterns share the same bill of materials.
- For wallcoverings, build on Circon’s momentum by adding EPDs for a core set of Type II non‑Circon substrates that drive specification volume. Tie SKUs to a clear substrate map so sales knows exactly which patterns inherit each EPD.
- For acoustics, publish a matrix that clarifies when third‑party EPDs from partners like Muratto apply, and when a Momentum‑specific declaration is needed.
How to reduce the lift internally
Great EPD partners make data collection painless. They map the right PCR, align with the program operator your team prefers, and herd utility, material, and waste data so engineers and product managers can keep building the roadmap instead of babysitting spreadsheets. Speed, clean project management, and dependable declarations beat slow, open‑ended consulting every time.
Helpful sustainability links
Momentum maintains an overview of transparency and certifications on its sustainability page, including references to EPDs and HPDs for key lines. It is a good single bookmark for product managers planning coverage waves (Momentum Sustainability, 2025).
Bottom line for spec wins
Momentum is already competitive where it has EPDs in place, especially on Silica textiles and Circon wallcoverings. Extending EPD coverage to a handful of high‑run woven upholsteries and core wallcovering substrates would eliminate most documentation friction and protect specs on LEED‑aimed projects. The price of an EPD is often eclipsed by a single mid‑size project win. Miss the paperwork, and you might miss the project.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Momentum have a verified EPD for Silica textiles and how long is it valid?
Yes. Silica coated textiles have a verified EPD in the International EPD System that is valid until April 23, 2030 (EPD International, 2025) (EPD International, 2025).
Is there an EPD for Momentum’s Circon wallcovering substrate?
Yes. Circon is presented with a product‑specific EPD and HPD on Versa Designed Surfaces’ declarations page, which supports specification when the substrate and construction match (Versa Designed Surfaces, 2025).
Which competitors commonly appear on the same specs and show EPDs?
Designtex lists EPDs on some wallcoverings in product resources (Designtex, 2025). Carnegie publishes a verified EPD for Biobased Xorel textiles valid to February 1, 2029 (EPD International, 2024) (EPD International, 2024).
Roughly how big is Momentum’s catalog?
Their site cites over 1,000 textile patterns and over 1,000 wallcovering patterns with more than 20,000 colorways, which translates to thousands of SKUs (Momentum website, 2025) (Momentum, 2025).
