Casement Window Repair & Replacement
Casement windows are a timeless and highly functional window style, valued for their excellent ventilation, energy efficiency, and clear outdoor views. Hinged on the side and typically operated by a crank or push-out mechanism, casement windows open outward to capture fresh air and seal tightly when closed—making them ideal for Canadian weather conditions.
At Toronto Windows Doors & Glass Inc., we provide professional casement window repair, replacement, and installation services for residential properties. Properly working casement windows improve indoor comfort, reduce energy loss, and enhance home security. Our experienced technicians understand the impact of moisture, temperature changes, and long-term wear, allowing us to deliver solutions tailored to your window style, material, and condition.
Common Casement Window Problems We Repair
Even well-built casement windows can develop issues over time. Our team quickly identifies the root cause and restores proper function.
1. Stiff or Hard-to-Open Windows
Difficulty opening or closing casement windows is often caused by warped frames, worn hinges, or corroded hardware. Forcing the window can cause further damage. We realign frames, replace damaged hinges, and lubricate moving parts for smooth, controlled operation.
2. Air Leaks and Water Infiltration
Drafts and moisture intrusion usually indicate worn weatherstripping, loose sashes, or seal failure. These issues reduce energy efficiency and may lead to interior damage. We replace seals, tighten alignment, and restore a weather-tight closure.
3. Foggy, Cracked, or Broken Glass
Condensation between panes or damaged glass reduces insulation and visibility while compromising safety. We replace glass with energy-efficient Low-E or tempered insulated units to restore performance and appearance.
4. Faulty Crank or Operator Mechanisms
Worn gears, rust, or stripped components can make casement windows difficult or unsafe to operate. Our technicians repair or replace crank handles and operators to ensure reliable, long-lasting performance.
5. Frame or Sash Damage
Exposure to weather can cause frames or sashes to rot, warp, or peel. Depending on the severity, we repair damaged sections or replace the sash to restore structural integrity and efficiency.
6. Lock and Hardware Issues
Broken locks, loose handles, or corroded hinges reduce both security and usability. We upgrade windows with durable, corrosion-resistant hardware and ensure proper locking alignment.
7. Poor Insulation and Energy Loss
Older casement windows may no longer seal properly, leading to higher energy bills and indoor discomfort. We upgrade glazing, seals, and insulation components to meet modern energy efficiency standards.
Timely repairs help extend the lifespan of your casement windows and prevent costly replacements.

Frequently Asked Questions
A casement window is hinged on one side and opens outward using a crank handle or push-out mechanism. This design allows for excellent ventilation and creates a tight seal when closed.
Yes. Casement windows are among the most energy-efficient window styles because they close tightly against the frame, reducing air leakage. When paired with insulated or Low-E glass, they help lower heating and cooling costs.
Common signs include difficulty opening or closing, drafts, water leaks, foggy glass, damaged hardware, or windows that won’t lock properly. Addressing these issues early can prevent more costly repairs.
In many cases, yes. Crank handles, operators, hinges, and locks can often be repaired or replaced while keeping the existing frame and glass, making repairs a cost-effective solution.
With proper maintenance, casement windows can last 20–30 years or more. Regular cleaning, lubrication of moving parts, and timely repairs help extend their lifespan.
Replacement is usually recommended when the frame is severely warped, rotted, or damaged, or when repeated repairs no longer improve energy efficiency or performance.
