When it comes to high-quality, energy-efficient windows, Jeld-Wen is a name you can trust. With a wide variety of window styles and designs, Jeld-Wen has become a popular choice among homeowners and contractors alike. One of their most sought-after window styles is the casement window. In this blog post, we will dive deep into the world of Jeld-Wen casement window parts, exploring their components, maintenance, and how to keep your windows looking and functioning their best.
Casement windows are a popular choice for many homeowners due to their versatility, energy efficiency, and ease of use. To better understand the parts that make up Jeld-Wen casement windows, let's break down the main components:
1. Frame: The frame is the outer structure of the window that holds all the other components together. It is typically made of wood, vinyl, or aluminum-clad wood, depending on the specific Jeld-Wen casement window model.
2. Sash: The sash is the part of the window that holds the glass in place. It is designed to swing open and closed, either horizontally or vertically, depending on the window style.
3. Glass: Jeld-Wen casement windows come with various glass options, including double-pane and triple-pane glass, as well as Low-E coatings for improved energy efficiency.
4. Hardware: The hardware includes all the functional components that allow the window to open, close, and lock. This includes the crank handle, hinges, and locking mechanism.
5. Weatherstripping: Weatherstripping is the material used to seal the gaps between the sash and the frame, preventing drafts and improving energy efficiency.
6. Screens: Many Jeld-Wen casement windows come with screens to keep insects and debris out while allowing fresh air to circulate.
Proper maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and performance of your Jeld-Wen casement windows. Here are some tips to help you keep your windows in top shape:
1. Cleaning: Regularly clean your windows, both inside and out, using a mild soap and water solution. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they can damage the window's finish.
2. Inspecting: Periodically inspect your windows for any signs of wear, damage, or malfunction. This includes checking the hardware, weatherstripping, and glass for any issues.
3. Lubricating: To ensure smooth operation, lubricate the hinges and other moving parts of your casement window with a silicone-based lubricant at least once a year.
4. Adjusting: If you notice that your window is not closing tightly or is difficult to operate, you may need to adjust the hardware. Consult your Jeld-Wen casement window manual for instructions on how to make these adjustments.
5. Replacing: If any parts of your window become damaged or worn, it's essential to replace them promptly to maintain the window's performance and appearance. Jeld-Wen offers a wide range of replacement parts for their casement windows, ensuring you can find the exact components you need.
Even with proper maintenance, you may occasionally encounter issues with your Jeld-Wen casement windows. Here are some common problems and their solutions:
1. Window won't open or close properly: This issue could be caused by a misaligned or damaged hardware component. Check the hinges, crank handle, and locking mechanism for any signs of wear or damage, and replace or adjust as needed.
2. Drafts or air leaks: If you feel drafts coming from your window, it may be due to worn or damaged weatherstripping. Inspect the weatherstripping for any signs of wear and replace it if necessary.
3. Condensation between the glass panes: This issue is typically caused by a broken seal between the glass panes, which allows moisture to enter the space between them. In this case, you will need to replace the insulated glass unit.
4. Difficulty locking the window: If you're having trouble locking your casement window, it may be due to misaligned hardware. Adjust the locking mechanism according to your window's manual to ensure a secure fit.
In conclusion, understanding the components of your Jeld-Wen casement windows and performing regular maintenance is crucial to keeping them looking and functioning their best. By following the tips and troubleshooting advice provided in this blog post, you can enjoy the many benefits of your Jeld-Wen casement windows for years to come.
Casement windows are the most common style of window. They feature hinged panels that swing open and closed. Casement windows are available in single panels or multiple panels.

This newly built private house is in Sydney, Australia. The area occupied by the fenestration system in our scheduled design drawings was up to more than 110 square meters. A wide range of design details made the perfect mix of modern aesthetics and traditional sophistication, the simulated vertical hung windows with tilt & turn opening systems in this home are absolutely breathtaking. SDLS (Simulated Divided Lites with Spacer Bar) brings some historical vintage feeling to the whole building without losing any energy saving performance. Long narrow fixed windows creating larger-than-life expenses, coupled with German high-end systems made this project stand out from the rest.
The client's idea was to maintain a certain vintage feel, and our aim was to meet the energy efficiency needs and standards of modern houses as much as possible while maintaining a retro design. Doorwin’s 61S simulated hung windows with tilt & turn openings is a respectful modernization of a classic architectural masterwork.
Why choose the tilt and turn opening method?
Because it generally has better air seals than sliding, single hung, or double hung window frames. Tilt and turn windows form a complete seal when fully closed, this means they are less prone to water leakage, and cold draughts and you’ll keep more of your heating indoors where it belongs. They can be opened in the upper tilt way to ventilate at a minimum opening status and are easy to clean outside of the glass; when there’s a good day, they can be opened as normal inward casement windows.
Our well-crafted bespoke systems enhance the functionality and panoramic view of this modern house.
Huge, fixed glass walls up to seven meters long and two meters high bring great lighting and open views, making it really refreshing to the mind. Five meters high long narrow windows give the whole building a contemporary aesthetic.
