Casement Windows Problems

• Hard to Open or Close
• Broken or Foggy Glass
• Rotted Wood
• Faulty Hardware (Locks, Cranks, Hinges)

 

Hard to Open or Close

 

Why does this happen?

Dirt buildup, rusty hinges or warping can make it hard to open or close. If left unaddressed, these issues can get worse and render the mechanism useless.

 

Most affected parts.

Hinges, crank mechanism, sash. These parts wear out with use.

 

How to prevent?

Clean regularly, lubricate hinges and repair promptly to prevent stiffness and jamming. Maintenance can extend the life of the window parts.

 

Solution to fix

Clean hinges, replace faulty hardware or adjust frame.

 

Broken or Foggy Glass

 

Why does this happen?

Moisture in, impact or aging seals can cause glass to fog or break. Condensation between panes means seals are failed.

 

Most affected parts.

Glass panes, seals, window frame. These are crucial for insulation and clarity.

 

How to prevent?

Inspect regularly and maintain seals to detect early signs of damage. Don’t slam windows shut to reduce impact stress on glass.

 

Solution to fix

Replace glass, install new seals or upgrade to energy efficient glass. A professional can determine the best repair or replacement option.

 

Rotted Wood

 

Why does this happen?

Prolonged exposure to moisture and no maintenance causes wood rot. Over time decay can spread and compromise the window frame.

 

Most affected parts.

Sash, sill, frame. Wooden parts are most vulnerable to water damage if not treated.

 

How to prevent?

Check regularly for leaks, apply coatings and ensure proper drainage. Keep the window frame dry to minimize rot.

 

Solution to fix

Remove rot, apply wood filler or epoxy and repaint or replace affected areas. Severe cases may require whole sash or frame replacement.

 

Faulty Hardware (Locks, Cranks, Hinges)

 

Why does this happen?

Wear and tear, rust or misalignment can cause hardware to fail. Frequent use without maintenance accelerates deterioration.

 

Most affected parts.

Locks, cranks, hinges. These parts are critical for security and smooth operation.

 

How to prevent?

Lubricate moving parts, inspect hardware regularly and don’t force the crank. Keep metal parts dry to prevent rust buildup.

 

Solution to fix

Replace damaged hardware and ensure proper alignment. If necessary, upgrade to modern, more durable hardware for better performance.
