Casement windows have been a popular choice for homeowners for centuries. These windows, which are hinged on one side and swing outward, offer a classic and elegant look that complements a variety of architectural styles. One of the key factors in the performance and appearance of your casement windows is the hardware. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve into the world of Dashwood casement window hardware, discussing everything from the types of hardware available to their installation and maintenance. So, let's get started!
The hardware you choose for your casement windows can greatly impact their functionality and aesthetics. High-quality hardware ensures smooth operation, security, and durability, while also adding a touch of style to your windows. Dashwood is a reputable manufacturer of casement window hardware, offering a wide range of options to suit your needs.
Dashwood offers several types of hardware for casement windows, including:
Hinges are the backbone of your casement windows, allowing them to swing open and closed. Dashwood offers a variety of hinge options, including standard butt hinges, concealed hinges, and egress hinges. Concealed hinges are hidden from view when the window is closed, providing a sleek and modern appearance. Egress hinges, on the other hand, allow the window to open to a full 90 degrees, making them ideal for emergency exit situations.
The locking system is crucial for the security and energy efficiency of your casement windows. Dashwood offers several locking options, such as multi-point locks, single-point locks, and keyed locks. Multi-point locks engage at multiple points along the window sash, providing enhanced security and a tighter seal against air and water infiltration. Single-point locks are more traditional and provide a simpler locking mechanism. Keyed locks offer the added benefit of a key-operated lock for increased security.
Operators are the mechanisms that allow you to open and close your casement windows. Dashwood offers a range of operator options, including crank handles, push-out handles, and electronic operators. Crank handles are the most common type of operator and require a simple turning motion to open and close the window. Push-out handles are a more traditional option and involve pushing the window open and pulling it closed. Electronic operators provide the ultimate in convenience, allowing you to control your windows with the touch of a button.
Handles and levers are the finishing touch on your casement window hardware, adding both functionality and style. Dashwood offers a wide selection of handle and lever options, including traditional, modern, and ornate designs. Choose from a variety of materials and finishes to match your home's décor and personal taste.
Proper installation is essential for the performance and longevity of your casement window hardware. Here are some tips to ensure a successful installation:
1. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific hardware you are installing.
2. Ensure that your window frame and sash are square, level, and plumb before installing hardware.
3. Use the appropriate tools and fasteners for your specific hardware and window materials.
4. Test the operation of your window hardware after installation to ensure smooth and proper functioning.
5. Consider hiring a professional if you are unsure about any aspect of the installation process.
Regular maintenance is key to keeping your Dashwood casement window hardware in top condition. Here are some maintenance tips to help ensure the longevity and performance of your hardware:
1. Clean your hardware regularly using a mild soap and water solution, and dry thoroughly to prevent water spots and corrosion.
2. Lubricate moving parts, such as hinges and operators, with a silicone-based lubricant to ensure smooth operation.
3. Inspect your hardware periodically for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion, and replace any damaged components as needed.
4. Adjust your hardware as needed to maintain proper alignment and operation of your casement windows.
5. Consider having your hardware professionally serviced if you encounter any issues or concerns.

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.

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.
