Nordic Fos underfloor heating and EPD coverage

Nordic Fos in a nutshell

Nordic Fos A/S is a Danish manufacturer specialized in underfloor heating solutions built around lightweight XPS panels with aluminum heat distribution. The company positions itself as a pure play in floor heating, not a broad HVAC conglomerate, with a visible emphasis on quick install and thin build‑ups. Their story and sustainability ambitions are outlined here: About Nordic Fos.

What they sell

The lineup revolves around two core families. First, hydronic floor‑heating plates and complete room kits that pair panels and PEX tubing. Second, plates designed for electric heating cables. Around that sit pipes, manifolds, adhesives and install accessories. It is a tidy portfolio for residential renovations and light commercial rooms where every millimeter counts.

How many skus and categories

Browsing the webshop suggests several product categories, mainly plates, room kits, pipes and accessories, with individual SKUs in the dozens. Exact counts fluctuate with thicknesses and set sizes, so treat this as a rough guide, not a stock ledger.

EPD status today

As of November 21, 2025, Nordic Fos has 1 current, product‑specific EPD that covers its XPS floor heating plate, published in 2023 and valid until October 31, 2028 (EPD International, 2023) (EPD International, 2023). That single document is EN 15804 A2 compliant and Europe‑scoped, which makes it broadly usable for EU projects that request product EPDs.

Where coverage falls short

The published EPD addresses the plate itself. We could not find additional EPDs covering their complete hydronic kits, electric heating plates, or piping as separate products as of the same date above. That leaves a gap in scenarios where specifiers prefer a system‑level EPD, or at least EPDs for key sub‑components beyond the plate.

Why that gap matters on bids

Many projects treat products without a product‑specific EPD as a penalty in carbon accounting. When a spec calls for product EPDs, a single plate EPD helps, but a kit without one can still trigger substitutions. This is where competitors can look more “spec‑ready.”

Competitive set you’ll meet on plans

You are likely to see Danfoss for electric systems, LK Systems for hydronic boards and plates, and regionals like Interplast for integrated systems. Several publish product EPDs. Examples include a Danfoss DEVICell LowCarbon electric panel EPD valid to May 27, 2030 (EPD International, 2025) (EPD International, 2025), multiple LK Systems EPDs for a Heat Distribution Plate and HeatFloor Board valid through 2028 (EPD International, 2023) (EPD International, 2023), and an Interplast hydronic underfloor heating system EPD valid to June 15, 2030 (EPD International, 2025) (EPD International, 2025). When a project team can point to a competitor EPD for the exact system or sub‑component, switching becomes easy.

A likely best‑seller that needs an EPD

Their hydronic room kits for 10–30 m² are positioned for common renovation spaces and appear frequently in the shop. We did not find a published EPD for these kits, while a comparable integrated hydronic system EPD exists from Interplast with validity to 2030 (EPD International, 2025). That contrast can nudge specifiers to a system with cleaner paperwork even if technical performance is similar.

Fastest path to close the EPD gap

Think of the PCR as the rulebook of Monopoly. Ignore it and the game falls apart. The smart play is to extend coverage in this order: electric plate variant, hydronic kits as a defined bill of materials, then pipes or boards that materially influence impacts. Pick the PCR family used by the competitors above to simplify reviewer expectations. A white‑glove LCA partner that handles plant data collection and cross‑team wrangling will keep engineers focused on production while the paperwork moves. That is how EPDs become revenue tools, not distractions.

Where Nordic Fos shines next

The product focus is clear, installer‑friendly and energy‑efficient. EPD coverage is started but not finished. Expand it to the electric plate and the most common kit configurations, and Nordic Fos becomes much harder to swap out on projects that prefer or require EPDs. That is the specability leap that pays back quickly, sometimes on a single mid‑size job. Let’s definately make that happen.
