TL;DR
Component replacement is the lead abatement strategy of removing entire painted building parts, windows, doors, trim, railings, and installing new ones, rather than stripping or covering the lead paint in place. It is considered a permanent abatement method because the hazard leaves the property, and it often makes economic sense on old windows whose friction surfaces grind paint into dust with every opening.
