Casement windows are a popular choice for homeowners due to their versatility, energy efficiency, and ease of use. As with any window type, parts can wear out or become damaged over time, necessitating replacement. Lowes offers a wide variety of casement window parts to help you keep your windows in top condition. In this blog post, we'll explore the different parts available at Lowes, their functions, and how to choose the right ones for your needs.
Before diving into the selection of casement window parts at Lowes, it's essential to understand the different components that make up a casement window. Here is a brief overview of the primary parts:
1. Frame: The outer structure that holds the window in place, typically made of wood, vinyl, or aluminum.
2. Sash: The movable part of the window that holds the glass and is attached to the frame with hinges.
3. Hinges: The hardware that connects the sash to the frame, allowing it to swing open and closed.
4. Operator: The mechanism used to open and close the window, usually consisting of a crank handle and gears.
5. Lock: The device that secures the window when closed, preventing drafts and providing security.
6. Weatherstripping: The material that seals gaps between the sash and frame, preventing air and water infiltration.
7. Glazing: The glass panels in the window, which can be single, double, or triple-pane for improved energy efficiency.
Now that we have a basic understanding of casement window components, let's explore the variety of parts available at Lowes:

To ensure your casement windows are secure and energy-efficient, Lowes carries a variety of locks and latches, including:
Sliding Locks: These locks are designed for casement windows with a sliding sash. They typically feature a lever that slides into a groove on the frame, securing the window in place.
Cam Locks: Cam locks are a popular choice for casement windows due to their ease of use and secure locking mechanism. They typically consist of a rotating cam that hooks onto a strike plate on the frame, holding the window closed.
Push-Button Latches: These latches are designed for casement windows that swing outward and feature a push-button mechanism that releases the latch, allowing the window to open.

Adhesive-Backed Foam Tape: This type of weatherstripping is easy to install and can be used on both the sash and frame of your casement window. It provides a tight seal to prevent drafts and water infiltration.
V-Strip: V-strip, also known as tension seal, is a durable and flexible type of weatherstripping that can be used on casement windows. It's typically installed along the edges of the sash and frame, creating a tight seal when the window is closed.
Bulb Seals: These seals are made from a flexible material, such as silicone or rubber, and are designed to compress when the window is closed, creating an airtight seal.
If the glass in your casement window is damaged or you're looking to improve energy efficiency, Lowes offers a variety of glazing options, including:
Single-Pane Glass: This type of glass is the most basic option and offers minimal insulation. It's typically used in older homes or for decorative purposes.
Double-Pane Glass: Double-pane glass consists of two layers of glass separated by a spacer and filled with insulating gas, such as argon. This type of glazing provides improved energy efficiency and noise reduction compared to single-pane glass.
Triple-Pane Glass: For maximum energy efficiency, triple-pane glass features three layers of glass with insulating gas between each layer. This type of glazing is ideal for homes in extreme climates or those looking to maximize energy savings.

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.

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.
