| Natural stone countertops protected by
Innovative Stone's PermaShield® technology have received GREENGUARD®
certification and GREENGUARD® Children & Schools Standards
certification. These certifications state, "PermaShield®-protected
natural stones from Innovative Stone meet the air quality standards set by
GREENGUARD® Environmental Institute (GEI) for indoor air quality."
In addition to achieving the NSF® Certification, Innovative Stone is
proud to offer the first 100% natural stone that has been certified by
GREENGUARD® Environmental Institute. |
| The key to this accomplishment is the
fact that natural stones protected by PermaShield® are considered by
GREENGUARD® to be safe materials to be used for residential and
commercial projects, including schools and universities where extensive time is
spent indoors. The GEI is an industry-independent, non-profit organization that
oversees the GREENGUARD® Certification Program. The mission is to
improve public health and quality of life through programs that increase indoor
air quality. |
| Indoor air quality is a growing concern
among consumers who are demanding healthy, low-emitting products and materials
in their homes, workplaces, schools and hospitals. However, the standards may
differ from one region to the next, making it challenging to identify the best
resources or direction. The GEI offers a stringent worldwide standard that
provides a reliable baseline for indoor air quality. The GEI has established
performance-based standards to define goods with low chemical and particle
emissions for use indoors. The GREENGUARD® standard establishes
certification procedures, including test methods, allowable emissions levels
and product sample collection and handling to ensure accurate results. |
