[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Newsflash - lead has been used as a whitener in paint for decades. It's still used in white paint, but at the minimum allowable levels. You probably grew up in a house surrounded with lots of lead in the paint. But you probably didn't go around licking the walls so you're OK. I think your kids will be OK unless they develop a thing for licking the window paint. Like the above poster said, don't go with a BS contractor, go with the installer recommended by your window supplier. Pella is good. Marvin is good. Woodstone and Reilly are beautiful.[/quote] This is a dumb post. Replacing windows is an easy way to generate very small particles (like dust or smaller) of lead which can be ingested and increase lead levels in the blood. It’s true people who grew up in the 70s were exposed to more lead but that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to expose your kids to more lead. Anyway, if you go with lead certified contractors I would think you’re fine. [/quote]
