Get a Healthier Home With Replacement Windowsby AJ FanterRefacing Cabinet Columnist Most people know that installing replacement windows can lead to a healthier wallet. But did you know that by improving your home with replacement windows you can also improve your health? At recent symposium on replacement windows, The National Center for Healthy Housing (NCHH), formerly known as the National Center for Lead-Safe Housing, announced findings on the health benefits of replacement windows. Home Replacement Windows Reduce Lead HazardIf your home has old and outdated windows painted with lead-based paint, replacing them with newer aluminum, wood, or vinyl can produce a safer environment for your family. In fact, the NCHH notes that replacing windows is one of the most effective ways to reduce lead-paint hazards.Replacement Windows & Better Outdoor Air QualityReplacement windows also result in health benefits for the community as a whole, according to the Window Replacement Symposium. The combined effect of improved business and home energy efficiency reduces the amount of ground-level ozone and particle emissions from local power plants. This is important because ground-level ozone not only affects those who suffer from asthma, but also reduces lung capacity, increasing your likelihood of getting bronchitis and pneumonia.As you can see, replacement windows do more than just save you money. They can also lead to improved health--for you and your family, and for anyone who lives in your community. Source
