Lawrence is Lead Free
Lawrence showcases lead free composite window hardware at recent Glassbuild 09 in Atlanta.
Dr. Don Robart, national sales and marketing executive for Lead Check, demonstrated the use of Lead Check swabs in determining surface area lead dust at the Lawrence booth.
Dr. Robart also explained many new regulations that will affect the window and door industry next year, such as the RRP rules that dictate the removal and remediation of any products that contain lead in homes pre-1978 and/or HUD projects.
Since Lawrence products contain NO lead, they are becoming the first choice for hardware as the consumers are becoming educated to the problems associated with lead exposure, in particular children under 12.
In order to become better acquainted with new rules for lead in the construction industry, Brandon Lawrence and Barry Lawrence are now EPA certified under RRP.
To date, Lawrence is the only manufacturer providing all visible components (locks, tilt latches, and vent stops) in the same material - and therefore the same color!
Lawrence products are a must for those attempting to achieve higher DP ratings and impact specifications.
