At Venture Window, we take pride in our commitment to controlling Lead Dust from Lead Paint.

It’s the job of the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC) — a nonprofit organization that rates the energy efficiency of windows, doors and skylights — to test windows and determine if they qualify for the Energy Star program.
