CASEMENT WINDOW ANATOMY

TILT & TURN CASEMENT WINDOW ANATOMY

This guide contains procedures for common user serviceable

repair tasks found on wood casement and awning windows. If a

condition arises that is not covered in this guide, please contact

us for professional help. This product guide covers our current

JELD-WEN windows as well as our historical products with the

following names: Pozzi, Caradco, Wenco and Norco. For help

identifying your window model, refer to your product purchase

paperwork or call us for additional help.

Standard casement windows consist of one sash that opens and closes like

a door. Other options include multiple sashes such as a French Casement

or xed sash mulled to an operating sash and the Tilt & Turn which opens

inward instead of outward and has no operator. The Tilt & Turn, besides

opening like a door, also functions like a hopper window with the top of

the sash tilting inward. An insect screen is mounted on the exterior side

of operating tilt and turn sashes and the interior of standard casements.

Awning windows open from the bottom and hinge at the top. An insect

screen is mounted on the interior side of operating sashes.
