TimberTech: product lineup and EPD coverage snapshot
TimberTech sits at the center of the outdoor living conversation. If your team sells into multifamily decks, hospitality terraces, or education campuses, you will see them on every shortlist. Here is how their portfolio breaks down and how well those products are documented with Environmental Product Declarations, so you can judge specability at a glance.
Who TimberTech is
TimberTech is the flagship decking and railing brand of The AZEK Company, focused on wood‑alternative boards and complete outdoor systems. Their positioning is durability and lower upkeep compared with wood, with a public emphasis on recycled content and circularity. See their sustainability commitments on the brand site (TimberTech Sustainability).
Product lineup at a glance
The range concentrates on two core board technologies and matching systems.
- Advanced PVC decking (capped polymer boards with no wood content), sold across several aesthetic collections.
- Composite decking (wood‑plastic composites), alongside aluminum and composite railing, porch boards, cladding formats using deck boards, lighting, and hardware. In practice this gives buyers multiple looks and price tiers that fit residential and light‑commercial use.
How many categories and SKUs
Across decking, railing, and accessories, TimberTech competes in several product categories with hundreds of individual SKUs when you factor lengths, colors, profiles, and brackets. That breadth matters for specifiers who want a single manufacturer to cover both the surface and guardrail details without value‑engineering whiplash.
EPD coverage snapshot
EPDs are publicly available for TimberTech decking and for sister brands AZEK and Versatex Trim, with documents published through SmartEPD in 2025 (AZEK Sustainability Report, 2025). We saw clear coverage for Advanced PVC decking. Composite decking is referenced in AZEK’s disclosure package as assessed in LCA studies, though not every accessory shows up with a program‑operator EPD yet (AZEK Sustainability Report, 2025). For teams chasing LEED, remember that product‑specific Type III EPDs count as 1.5 products toward the BPDO EPD credit, which can be the edge a project team needs to lock in points (USGBC, 2024).
Where the gaps likely are
Most railing systems, fasteners, and lighting routinely lack product‑specific EPDs across the industry, and we did not find program‑operator EPDs for TimberTech railing as of December 5, 2025. That does not block a deck sale on small jobs, but it can complicate bids where owners want a fully documented bill of materials and prefer vendors who can supply EPDs for the visible package, not just the boards. When an architect must count to 20 qualifying products for LEED’s BPDO Option 1, missing EPDs on complementary items can force extra vendor hunting (USGBC, 2024).
Competitors you will meet in bids
Expect Trex, Fiberon, Deckorators, and MoistureShield on the same projects. One useful data point when EPDs are a pass‑fail filter in specs is Fiberon’s published third‑party EPD for its Wildwood composite cladding, verified by SCS Global Services in 2023, which signals a willingness to disclose at product level (SCS Global Services, 2023). If the deck surface is documented but the cladding at the same terrace is not, that mismatch can still slow down approvals.
Commercial signal for sales teams
Why this matters right now. LEED v4.1 awards up to two points for EPDs under the BPDO credit, and product‑specific Type III EPDs count as 1.5 products in the tally (USGBC, 2024). On owner‑led programs, a deck board with a verified EPD often beats a similar board without one because the latter forces the team to use conservative defaults and take a paperwork penalty. That is how a perfectly good board gets sidelined on a tight schedule.
What a fast EPD rollout could look like
Manufacturers that move quickly pick a reference year, lock plant‑level utilities and scrap data, and align on the most common PCR used by peers. Then they stage publications by volume: highest‑run boards first, followed by railing families that appear in commercial specs, then minor accessories. The trick is making data collection painless so R&D and plant managers are not stuck in spreadsheets. We favor partners and workflows that remove the data‑wrangling burden, keep reviews tight, and publish with the owner’s preferred operator.
Bottom line for TimberTech watchers
TimberTech is a broad outdoor‑living brand rather than a single‑product pure play. Decking EPDs are live and give specifiers real numbers to work with (AZEK Sustainability Report, 2025). The opportunity is to extend that documentation to railing and other visible components so project teams can check the BPDO box without juggling extra vendors. Miss that, and competitive lines that already publish EPDs for adjacent products can win on convenience as much as carbon math. That’s leaving money on the tabel for no good reason.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does TimberTech publish product EPDs for its decking today?
Yes. TimberTech states that EPDs for decking are available through SmartEPD, alongside AZEK and Versatex Trim (AZEK Sustainability Report, 2025).
Will TimberTech’s EPDs help on LEED v4.1 projects?
Yes. Product‑specific Type III EPDs count as 1.5 products toward the BPDO EPD credit, up to two points in total (USGBC, 2024).
Do TimberTech railing systems have EPDs?
We did not find program‑operator EPDs for TimberTech railing as of December 5, 2025. This mirrors a broader industry gap where accessories often lag boards.
Which competitors actively publish EPDs?
Fiberon publicly lists a third‑party verified EPD for its Wildwood composite cladding, verified by SCS Global Services in 2023 (SCS Global Services, 2023).
