 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has set forth new rules and regulations that renovations and repairs of pre-1978 housing must now be conducted using safe practices to protect children and pregnant women from exposure to lead-based paint. The program was effective April 22, 2010.
Almost a million children have elevated blood lead levels as a result of exposure to lead hazards, which can lead to lower intelligence, learning disabilities, and behavior issues. Adults exposed to lead hazards can suffer from high blood pressure and headaches. Children under six years old are most at risk.
Both the Granite State Glass Window & Door Consultants and Installation Teams have received Certification in Lead-Safe Renovations and Repairs.
If your home was built before 1978 and lead paint may be present, your Granite State Glass Door & Window consultant can test for the presence of lead paint, explain your options, and detail the process of lead-safe renovation and repair if lead paint is present.
As a leader in the Replacement Window & Door industry, Granite State Glass understands the important role in protecting public health by helping prevent lead exposure. As a Lead-Safe Certified Firm, GSG is committed to the highest quality installations in the safest manner possible.
