restoring windows with lead paint?
Comments (10)First you might want to do a little research on lead paint and at what point it becomes a hazard. Unless every wall,door,door casing,floor molding,and ceiling has been replaced there is lead paint all over your house once it has been sealed and painted over unless a child is actually eating your windows the hazard is not there. Lead paint becomes a hazard when it is peeling or when it is being sanded from air born dust. Read the below link which also contains a link from the CDC paying close attention to at least the following statements. Government studies reveal that children become lead-poisoned primarily by hand-to-mouth lead dust ingestion, and only rarely through eating old lead-based paint chips. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) reports show that well-maintained surfaces containing lead paint do not present a health hazard. Interim controls such as "in-place management" have been recognized as valid methods of preventing lead exposure and encapsulation technology provides a feasible, effective abatement strategy for the permanent correction of residential lead hazards. Educate yourself so you know the true facts before hearing sales pitches. Here is a link that might be useful: Lead paint...See MoreNeed opinions on AMSCO studio series windows.

Comments (13)We have decided to use window screens from Menards (https://www.menards.com/main/hardware/door-window-hardware/screen-tools-hardware/adfors-5-16-metal-screen-frame-kits/fcs10766-m/p-1478154108387-c-7580.htm) And double polished Marine-grade vinyl: https://www.marinevinylfabric.com/products/clear-marine-vinyl?variant=32059618721876 With weather stripping to create a knock off of Window Inserts. It will cost $1,455 for all the windows, plus we will have some left over for windows in other buildings until we have the budget to replace. :)...See MoreAmsco windows vs Pella or comparable
Comments (6)That's worth considering for sure. Builders have to know an awful lot about so many things, that they're knowldege about any one component of the house is typically fairly shallow. There are exceptions to this of course, some of which are frequent posters on this board. As a result, the majority of builders recommend windows that are convenient for them to deal with, and that come with pricing that can be worked into whatever budget they're working with, without consideration to the long-term satisfaction of the homeowner. Once problems begin to surface, it's up to the homeowner to deal with the manufacturer or distributor and the builder is out of the picture. Again, to be clear, I am speaking in generalities. There are some builders who are exceptions to the rule, but in my experience, they are few and far between....See Moremillworkman
