Morava Wood Products: products, EPDs, and specability
Czech-made solid hardwood floors, strong craftsmanship, and an early step into product transparency. Morava Wood Products has one product-specific EPD live today, yet a portfolio that likely spans dozens of SKUs. Here is what they make, what is covered, and where faster EPD expansion could prevent lost specs when projects favor verified data.
Who Morava Wood is
Founded in 2004 and based in Uničov, Morava Wood Products manufactures solid hardwood floors and ships to more than 15 countries with products available in 1,500+ stores worldwide (Morava Wood, 2025). Their site also notes a 750,000 m² installed production capacity milestone reached in 2015, reflecting an integrated sawmill and drying operation under one roof (Morava Wood, 2025).
What they sell
Morava Wood is a flooring pure play. The portfolio centers on solid hardwood boards in European oak, ash, and beech, offered with tongue and groove or click profiles and a range of factory finishes. Counting species, profiles, widths, grades, and finish looks, the commercial assortment is very likely in the dozens of SKUs rather than a handful.
Current EPD coverage
Morava Wood has a registered EPD for a solid oak floor, published April 11, 2024, valid through March 24, 2029, under The International EPD System. Scope is EN 15804+A2 and Europe as the declared market (EPD International, 2024). This is a solid start for winning work where product-specific declarations are requested.
Where gaps remain
The live EPD covers solid oak. The website highlights ash and beech floors, along with multiple profiles and finish systems, which appear outside the current declaration’s scope. That means a spec written tightly for ash, beech, or for click-format boards can push buyers toward alternatives that present a matching EPD on the exact product family.
Competitors you will meet in bids
On solid hardwood, Junckers publishes multiple product-specific EPDs registered with EPD Denmark, commonly cited by architects on European and US‑led teams (EPD Denmark via Junckers, 2025). On engineered and parquet formats that can substitute in many projects, Kährs publishes EPDs covering its 13–15 mm engineered ranges (Kährs, 2025). Tarkett lists several wood flooring EPDs with EPD International, including a Europe‑market declaration still within its validity window (EPD International, 2022). When a project team filters only for SKUs with current EPDs, these brands already pass the checkbox.
The commercial risk of partial coverage
In owner or tenant frameworks that prefer or require verified product data, a SKU without an EPD introduces friction. Estimators may default to conservative generic factors, and buyers often choose the path of least resistance. In practice, that means a Morava ash or beech floor without an EPD can loose to a competitor’s look‑alike that carries a declaration, even if the performance and price are comparable.
Fast path to close the gap
Prioritize EPDs for the most commonly specified branches of the line. A practical sequence is solid ash, then solid beech, then the most popular click and T&G formats by width and grade. Keep each declaration scoped to a coherent product family so it reads cleanly for LEED, BREEAM, and national database uploads. The heavy lift is data collection across utilities, yields, coatings, packaging, and transport. A great LCA partner will simplify that by coordinating plant data, mapping the right PCR, and handling operator submission so your team stays focused on production.
Sustainability signals to build on
Morava emphasizes PEFC‑certified sourcing and describes sustainability commitments on its site, which pairs well with product transparency for specification. See their overview here: Sustainability at Morava Wood. Combine certified sourcing with product‑level EPDs and you cover both origin and impact, which specifiers increasingly read side by side.
What to do next
If you maintain one live oak EPD and add declarations for ash and beech, plus the two best‑selling formats in each, you will cover the majority of active quotes with verified data. That is usually enough to shift shortlist odds in your favor without boiling the ocean. Then plan a light annual data refresh rhythm so renewals never become a fire drill. It is a simple, defendable play that keeps you visible in every spec library that matters.
Key facts, at a glance
Morava Wood’s product EPD is valid to March 24, 2029, and the company reports distribution in 15+ countries and presence in 1,500+ stores (EPD International, 2024; Morava Wood, 2025). Competing wood floor brands that routinely show up with current EPDs include Junckers, Kährs, and Tarkett (EPD Denmark via Junckers, 2025; Kährs, 2025; EPD International, 2022). If you want to be shortlisted faster, expanding EPD coverage from oak to ash and beech is definately the next move.
