Who Scan Underlay is
Scan Underlay Production ApS is a Danish specialist focused on impact sound solutions made from upcycled tire rubber for floors and structural interfaces. They are a pure play in acoustic underlayments and accessories rather than a broad flooring brand.
What they make
Three families cover most use cases. Flooring underlayments for wood, laminate and vinyl. Under‑screed mats that sit between slab and screed. Acoustic strips for perimeter and partition decoupling. SKU count looks to be in the low dozens when you include widths and thicknesses.
Current EPD footprint (as of November 20, 2025)
Product‑specific EPDs are public for several hero items. The Acoustic Silence 700 underlayment carries an EN 15804 A2 EPD valid until June 26, 2028 (EPD International, 2023). The under‑screed Acoustic Silence 1050 and the acoustic stripes (50 to 500 mm) are covered together and are also valid to June 26, 2028 (EPD International, 2023). The moisture‑barrier variant Acoustic Silence 702 has an EPD listed by EPD Danmark with validity into 2028 (EPD Danmark, 2023).

Likely gaps to watch
Two catalog pieces appear less covered in public registries today. Acoustic Silence 525 does not show a public program‑operator listing we could locate in November 2025. The 1 mm Acoustic Silence 360 page claims an EPD update on May 16, 2025, yet the link gates behind a login so a public listing could not be verified (Scan Underlay website, 2025). If 525 or 360 are common picks for LVT or value‑engineered wood, the absence of an easily verifiable EPD can trigger conservative default factors and weaken specability in carbon‑accounted bids.
Where these products get specified
These solutions show up in multi‑family, schools, offices and healthcare where design teams juggle acoustic targets with thin build‑ups. Under‑screed mats reduce structure‑borne transmission. Strips decouple partitions and perimeters. Underlayments tame footfall under floating floors. With EPDs in hand, teams avoid generic benchmarks that penalize products without third‑party data.
Competitors you will meet at bid time
Cork‑based underscreeds from Amorim’s Acousticork line have program‑operator EPDs live for U38 thicknesses to July 8, 2028 (EPD International, 2023). PU and rubber underlays from players like Interfloor also publish product‑specific EPDs valid into 2028 (EPD International, 2023). These options can be substituted in many assemblies if an EPD is mandatory for credit tracking in LEED v4.1 or for corporate procurement rules.
Practical take for product and sales teams
If 525 or 360 are priority movers, closing the EPD gap is low friction if your LCA partner handles data collection inside your plant rather than sending spreadsheets and walking away. Pick the rulebook, confirm the reference year, and publish with a mainstream operator. The time you save upstream is what wins downstream when a spec writer needs a clean PDF today, not next quarter.
What good coverage looks like next
Aim for one EPD per product family with clear mapping to thicknesses and widths. Keep renewal timelines on a shared calendar so documents do not drift toward expiry all at once. If new lines launch midyear, consider a prospective EPD, then true‑up once twelve months of data exist. That cadence keeps you in the conversation and avoids getting swapped at the last minute. Simple, and it’s definately worth it.
