StonePeak Ceramics: products and EPD coverage
StonePeak is a U.S. porcelain specialist known for large-format slabs and traditional tile. If you specify in markets that prefer or require Environmental Product Declarations, the key question is simple. Are their flagship surfaces covered well enough today to win specs without friction?
Who StonePeak is
StonePeak Ceramics manufactures porcelain surfaces in the U.S., with operations centered in Tennessee and headquarters in the Chicago area. The company sits inside Iris Ceramica Group and focuses on surfacing only, not on setting materials or accessories.
What they sell, at a glance
The portfolio is tightly focused on porcelain and ceramic surfaces. Think large-format gauged panels for walls and countertops, traditional floor and wall tile, ceramic wall coverings, and prefabricated shower elements. Across collections and size–finish–thickness combinations, the total SKU count is in the hundreds. That is a pure play in tile rather than a mixed flooring catalogue.
Their sustainability stance
StonePeak communicates closed-loop water and raw material recycling, local sourcing around Crossville, and a recent organizational carbon footprint validation under ISO 14064-1. Their sustainability hub lists Green Squared, Greenguard, LEED alignment, and EPD among recognized credentials. See their overview and claims here for context (StonePeak sustainability).
EPD coverage today
For North American made ceramic and porcelain tile, StonePeak is covered by the Tile Council of North America’s industry-wide EPD. That declaration lists StonePeak among participating companies and remains valid through May 30, 2026 (TCNA industry‑wide EPD, 2020) (PDF). The TCNA document states it represents over 95% of ceramic tile produced in North America, which keeps most StonePeak collections inside a recognized transparency umbrella for typical wall and floor applications (TCNA industry‑wide EPD, 2020) (PDF).
Where coverage is thin
Two realities can create gaps. First, flagship countertop and furniture applications use 12 mm porcelain slabs and custom formats where specifiers often prefer plant or product‑specific EPDs tied to a declared site. Second, some U.S. competitors already publish product‑specific EPDs with five‑year validity windows. Daltile lists multiple plant EPDs for wall and floor tile valid to 2030 (EPD International, 2025) (EPD International entry). Crossville has a product‑specific porcelain tile EPD valid to 2030 as well (EPD International, 2025) (EPD International entry). Iris Ceramica Group, StonePeak’s parent, also publishes slab EPDs for Italian and German plants valid to 2029, which do not directly stand in for U.S.‑manufactured StonePeak slabs in site‑sensitive bids (EPD International, 2024).
Why it matters in specs
In owner standards and LEED‑focused projects, an industry‑wide EPD is good enough to meet many submittal requirements. Yet where teams evaluate like‑for‑like tiles, a product‑specific EPD can remove conservative default assumptions and keep the conversation centered on design and performance rather than price. If a countertop package asks for product‑specific documentation, a competitor slab with a current EPD can look easier to approve than a similar surface that relies only on the industry‑wide average.
Likely competitors on the same bid list
StonePeak commonly meets Crossville, Daltile and Marazzi in U.S. commercial work, plus Florida Tile, Florim USA, and Porcelanosa on premium retail and hospitality. Several of these brands publish current EPDs that a reviewer can verify quickly, for example Porcelanosa entries valid through 2027 in the French INIES registry for ceramic tile (INIES, 2024). That instant verifiability helps when carbon accounting is time‑boxed by submittal deadlines.
A practical playbook
Prioritize a product‑specific EPD for one or two hero lines where sales teams field repeat spec requests. For StonePeak, that likely means the large‑format slab used for counters plus a high‑volume traditional floor tile. Pick the most common thickness and finish, select the publication program operator your channel prefers, and make data collection painless for plant teams by mirroring how utilities, raw materials, waste and yields are already tracked monthly. The right LCA partner will handle the wrangling and publish with the operator of your choice while your product managers dont lose momentum.
Bottom line for manufacturers watching this space
StonePeak brings breadth in tile and strong baseline coverage through the TCNA industry‑wide EPD. To compete head‑to‑head on countertop slabs and priority floor lines, product‑specific EPDs are the unlock. Competitors are already holding them with validity to 2029 or 2030, which sets a clear bar for specability in 2026 and beyond (EPD International, 2025) (EPD International entry).
