Stonemark Natural Stone Countertops Become First to Receive GREENGUARD Certifications
Hauppauge, NY (PRWEB) November 12, 2007 -- Innovative Stone announced today that its popular brand of stain-resistant, natural stone countertops, Stonemark by Innovative Stone, has received two environmental health and safety certifications from the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute (GEI). The certifications include the GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certification and the GREENGUARD For Children & Schools Certification. Particularly noteworthy is the fact that, in receiving these certifications, Stonemark has become the first brand of 100% natural stone countertops to be GREENGUARD certified. Today's announcement further confirms that Stonemark natural stone countertops promote a healthy indoor air environment for all households, as well as K-12 and daycare facilities.
The reception of these certifications mark yet another milestone in the environmentally conscious endeavors of Stonemark natural stone countertops. The key to this accomplishment is the fact that Stonemark countertops are protected by PermaShield, Innovative Stone's revolutionary anti-staining technology. Through independent laboratory testing, PermaShield has been found to "make granite surfaces more sanitary, easier-to-clean, and help to inhibit the growth of odor and stain-causing bacteria" on countertops. The GEI certifications are expected to further increase interest in Stonemark, which, through its exclusive partnership with The Home Depot® and Expo Design Center, is quickly becoming one of the most popular surfaces in the American household.
"We are very proud that PermaShield-protected natural stone has received certifications from the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute," said Karen Pearse, chief executive officer and founder of Innovative Stone. "Innovative Stone products continue to stay at the forefront of true innovation for the contemporary home." Following the reception of the certifications, Karen Pearse, who founded Innovative Stone in 1981, was recognized by Carl Smith, chief executive officer of GREENGUARD. "Innovative Stone's commitment to creating innovative and environmentally safe products should serve as inspiration for other companies that design products that people use on a daily basis," said Smith.
