Polyflor: product lineup and EPD coverage now
Specifiers know Polyflor for resilient floors that show up everywhere from clinics to classrooms. The practical question is simpler, does the current portfolio come with Environmental Product Declarations across the ranges that get specified most often. Here is the snapshot for today, plus where EPDs look strong, where renewals seem pending, and which competitors appear on the same bid lists.
Where Polyflor plays in projects
Polyflor is a resilient flooring specialist. The commercial lineup spans homogeneous sheet vinyl, heterogeneous sheet (wood, stone and abstract visuals), LVT families for glue‑down and loose‑lay installs, safety flooring with built‑in slip resistance, and ESD options for data, labs and imaging suites. Those categories cover healthcare, education, retail, offices and cleanrooms.
Portfolio breadth at a glance
Across these ranges, colorways and formats push the SKU count into the hundreds, not a handful. That gives designers latitude on aesthetics and performance without leaving a product family. It also means EPD coverage needs to be broad to keep spec momentum, because one missing declaration can stall an otherwise perfect match.
EPDs that look solid right now
Sheet vinyl shows strong coverage. Multiple Polyflor lines list current EN 15804 EPDs published by Global GreenTag, including Expona Flow, Forest fx and Bloc PUR with validity running through August 10, 2026 (Global GreenTag Published EPDs, 2025) (Global GreenTag, 2025). Individual product pages routinely include EPD downloads as well, for example Palettone PUR lists an Environmental Product Declaration on its sustainability tab (Polyflor product page, 2024).
EPDs likely needing attention
Several Polyflor LVT family EPDs show as “Under Renewal” after expiring around February 2025. That includes Expona Commercial, Expona Domestic and Affinity according to Global GreenTag’s published register, which signals the declarations are in process but not currently valid for credit claims until reissued (Global GreenTag Published EPDs, 2025) (Global GreenTag, 2025). If a project team is chasing LEED v5 points, a lapsed EPD can nudge them to a competitor even when performance and price are right.
Safety and ESD coverage
Safety flooring appears well represented with EPDs via GreenTag across Polysafe families, with pages for lines like Quattro and Verona showing EPD documents in the downloads section (Polyflor product pages, 2024). ESD options such as Palettone SD and Polyflor EC focus on static control and often sit outside the LVT conversation, yet spec teams still expect a declaration for cleanrooms and imaging suites. Checking those downloads early avoids last‑minute submittal scrambles.
Competitors you will meet on the same plans
Tarkett, Forbo, Gerflor and Karndean routinely compete in the same resilient scopes. Many publish current product‑specific EPDs across LVT and sheet, which keeps them specification‑ready while renewals cycle. As one example, Karndean lists EPDs for gluedown, loose lay and rigid core collections for North America on its technical hub (Karndean Commercial EPD listings, 2025) (Karndean, 2025). Gerflor’s US product pages also offer direct EPD downloads for core healthcare ranges like Mipolam (Gerflor US product documents, 2024).
Commercial risk and a quick win
When a frequently specified LVT line lacks a current, product‑specific EPD, project teams may default to a like‑for‑like rival with a live declaration. That default often happens quietly in the takeoff, so manufacturers may not even realise which projects they did not recieve. A renewed EPD can flip that dynamic in weeks, especially in healthcare and education where resilient floors are baseline.
How to close gaps fast
Pick a partner who will gather data for you, reconcile plant utilities and scrap rates, and map the right Part B flooring PCR used by peer products. Decide early which program operator fits the market focus, Smart EPD in the US or IBU in the EU, then publish a product‑specific declaration that aligns with how competitors report. That approach protects bid lists today and keeps renewals predictable tomorrow.

What should a manufacturer prioritise to speed an LVT EPD renewal
Lock a reference year and gather energy, water, waste, formulations, and shipping. Align the PCR with the competitive set and choose the operator preferred in your key market to minimise reviewer back‑and‑forth.
