Loewen casement windows are known for their durability, style, and energy efficiency. As a homeowner, you may have already chosen these windows for their excellent performance and attractive appearance. However, to ensure their longevity and maintain their functionality, it's essential to understand the various parts of these windows and how to care for them. In this comprehensive guide, we will discuss the different components of Loewen casement windows and share tips for maintaining and replacing them when necessary.
Casement windows are hinged on one side and open outward, providing excellent ventilation and unobstructed views. Loewen casement windows are designed with high-quality materials and craftsmanship, making them a popular choice among homeowners who value both style and performance. Some of the standout features of Loewen casement windows include their solid wood construction, extruded aluminum cladding, and energy-efficient glazing options.
To better understand how to care for your Loewen casement windows, it's essential to become familiar with their various parts. Here are the key components of these windows:
The frame is the outermost part of the window and supports the entire structure. Loewen casement window frames are made from solid wood, which provides natural insulation and a timeless appearance.
The sash is the movable part of the window that holds the glass in place. Loewen casement window sashes are designed for smooth, easy operation and are made from the same high-quality wood as the frame.
Loewen casement windows can be customized with various glazing options, including double-pane and triple-pane glass. These energy-efficient choices help to reduce heat transfer and lower your energy bills.
The hinges on a Loewen casement window allow the sash to swing open and closed. These heavy-duty hinges are designed for long-lasting performance and smooth operation.
The operator is the mechanism that allows you to open and close the window. Loewen casement windows feature a folding handle and a concealed operator for a sleek appearance and easy operation.
Weatherstripping is the material used to seal gaps between the sash and frame, preventing drafts and improving energy efficiency. Loewen casement windows feature high-quality weatherstripping for superior performance.
To keep your Loewen casement windows functioning optimally and looking their best, follow these maintenance tips:
1. Clean the glass regularly: Use a glass cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the glass, removing dirt and smudges that can obstruct your view.
2. Inspect the weatherstripping: Check the weatherstripping for wear and tear, and replace it if necessary to maintain a tight seal.
3. Lubricate the hinges and operator: Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the hinges and operator once a year to ensure smooth operation.
4. Touch up any scratches or chips in the wood: If your window frames or sashes have any scratches or chips, use a wood touch-up pen or paint to restore their appearance.
5. Check for signs of damage or wear: Inspect your windows regularly for any signs of damage, such as cracked glass or damaged hardware, and address these issues promptly to maintain the window's performance.
If you need to replace any parts of your Loewen casement windows, it's essential to use genuine Loewen replacement parts to ensure a perfect fit and maintain the window's performance. Contact your local Loewen dealer or visit their website to order replacement parts, such as new hinges, operators, or weatherstripping.
In conclusion, understanding the various components of your Loewen casement windows and maintaining them properly will ensure their longevity and continue to provide your home with style, functionality, and energy efficiency. Don't hesitate to consult with a professional if you have any concerns about your windows or need assistance with repairs or replacements.
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. The direction a door swings, either to the right or the left, is called the handing. In addition to handing, window are identified as either inswing or outswing depending on whether they open into the house or towards the outside.

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.
Every window’s placement and shape not only add to the uniqueness of this home but also provide a more energy-saving ability for the owners.
Doorwin energy-efficient integrated glazing units feature double-pane glass, warm-edge spacers, argon gas fill, Low-E coatings, and fully tempered glass, they can not only create a comfortable and natural indoor environment but also save electricity bills and heating bills of more than 100 USD for the owner, it’s a real bargain compared to choosing a regular glazing set.
Aluminum Door offered an air of uniqueness and elegance to a home. With their luxurious patterns and beautiful finishes, it provides this house with a bounty of aesthetics and security.
