Michelangelo Lite, the Revolutionary New, Free App for iPad, swings the balance of power to consumers by having multiple vendors compete for their business. Shopping, designing and saving money on your kitchen and bathroom remodeling project has never been easier or more convenient.

New York, NY (PRWEB) February 19, 2013

Michelangelo Lite is the safest, most convenient way to shop and buy tiles and counter-tops. It's the only place where homeowners can compare quotes from multiple nearby professionals, without ever having to leave their household.

"As business owners in the granite and marble industry we have helped thousands of clients over the years. We have also struggled in helping them choose the right product for their remodeling project; and we wished there was a better way. We looked for solutions, and having not found one, we decided to take matters into our own hands," said co-founder Nicola Maganuco.

Maganuco thought there must be a less daunting way to work on a remodeling project. Frustrated with the traditional hassle, the feeling of powerlessness and the time required to research rates, meet with vendors and shop for the best offer, Maganuco built the proverbial better mousetrap". "Browsing tiles and countertops from hundreds of world renown vendors, visualizing what they would like in your kitchen and bathroom and having nearby professional compete on your project based on your selection and dimensions is a much better alternative," Maganuco said. The application actually swings the balance of power to consumers by having multiple vendors compete for the individuals businessas indicated by another companys well-known tagline: When They Compete, You Win.

"Michelangelo Lite is the #1 App for Kitchens & baths on iTunes" Maganuco added, "It is the first, the best, most realistic, free, virtual showroom targeted directly to homeowners. Since its launch, on September 28th, 2012, Michelangelo Lite has been downloaded at a voracious rate by thousands of peoples across the globe. We expect Michelangelo Lite to reach 1,000,000 downloads well before the end of 2013."

Michelangelo Lite takes the guessing out of the equation by bringing innovation where there once was none. "Being able to visualize your dream kitchen or bathroom, with this tile or that counter-top, will not only save you money, but also a lot of time and aggravation." said co-founder Kostas Kioleidis.

"With just a few flicks of your finger you can browse thousands of products from renowned, international brands, from anywhere, anytime. You can store, edit, rename, sort, swap and change almost anything with extreme ease. And when you're done you can share it with the world, via email, Facebook or Twitter," Nicola Maganuco said.

ANN ARBOR NSF International, in cooperation with Texas-based decorative surfacing product producer Wilsonart LLC, is developing a Product Category Rule for residential countertops. This PCR will provide a science-based and internationally recognized method for reporting the environmental impact of residential countertop products and materials throughout their entire life cycle.

Product Category Rules define the elements of a life cycle assessment for a particular product group and what to include in an Environmental Product Declaration, a third-party-verified report summarizing the data generated from a life cycle assessment into a simple format. LCAs measure inputs, outputs and environmental impacts of a product across its lifespan, from cradle to grave. The EPD is the third-party-verified report that presents and summarizes the data generated from a life cycle assessment in a simple format. This allows the user to analyze a single product and provides a basis of comparison among related products.

NSF Sustainability, a division of NSF International that provides sustainability standards development, testing, certification and claims validation for commercial and consumer green products, provides EPD third-party verification by confirming that the data was collected in accordance with the applicable PCR and meets all ISO requirements. This is important as the U.S. Green Building Councils Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design has a pilot credit that recognizes materials that have third-party verified EPDs.

The residential countertop PCR will be established in accordance with the international environmental labeling standard ISO 14025 through the NSF National Center for Sustainability Standards. The NCSS will utilize an open consultative process to develop the PCR with participation from an expert panel of countertop manufacturers, suppliers, regulatory agencies, environmental organizations and end users. The NCSS has developed PCRs and American National Standards for sustainability for a wide range of product categories, including chemicals, commercial and institutional furniture, carpets, wallcovering, textiles, flooring, building products and materials, and is developing others for broad industries including water treatment and distribution systems.

The Product Category Rule will provide the industry a much needed standard for measuring and reporting the environmental attributes of residential countertops, providing a basis for improvement and a process that will enable reductions in environmental impacts over time. We look forward to the positive impact this will make on the industry and those that seek more sustainable building and furnishing materials for their homes, said Steve Lubowinski, Research Fellow, Wilsonart LLC, who is leading their LCA activities.

The residential countertop PCR will enable interior designers and architects to source countertops with environmentally preferable attributes using comparative data that has been gathered and reported in a standardized fashion. This is crucial in helping homebuilders and remodelers source products that meet their customers environmental goals, said Tom Bruursema, General Manager of NSF Internationals Sustainability division. For more information on NSF Sustainability, visit nsfsustainability.org or contact Dennis Gillan at 734-476-2543 or sustainability@nsf.org.

NSF International is an independent global organization that writes standards, and tests and certifies products for the commercial goods, food, water and consumer goods industries to minimize adverse health effects and protect the environment (nsf.org). Founded in 1944, NSF is committed to protecting human health and safety worldwide. NSF is a World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for Food and Water Safety and Indoor Environment.
