    You have a possible claim for the handle damage if you have accidental damage cover to buildings.
    No claim for the blown seals. They all do this after a period of years and it is simple deterioration and excluded under "gradually operating causes".
    If the windows are less than 2-3 yrs old you may have a claim against the installer.
