Polished Brass Window Furniture

Polished Brass Casement Window Stays

Casement stays are fitted to outward-opening timber windows and allow the window to be held at a selected position. Our polished brass range includes ball-end and spoon-end stays in 8-inch, 10-inch and 12-inch lengths.

Before choosing a stay, check:

• The size and weight of the opening window
• The available space on the timber casement
• The required opening distance
• The position of the fastener and surrounding frame
• The stay and pin fixing centres
• Whether the listing includes a stay only or additional components

A longer stay may allow a wider opening, but it must fit without obstructing the window handle, frame or surrounding joinery. Consult the product drawing before installation.

Polished Brass Window Fasteners

Casement fasteners hold an opening timber window against its frame. Choose from coordinating ball-end, spoon-end and wedge-pattern designs.

When replacing existing hardware, compare the backplate dimensions, fixing centres, keeper arrangement and handing. Selected fasteners are reversible, but compatibility varies between products and window constructions.

Fasteners for Weather-Stripped Windows

Weather stripping can create an offset or require additional compression between the opening window and its frame. A fastener designed for a standard flush arrangement may therefore be unsuitable.

The collection includes a polished brass locking wedge fastener designed for compatible timber windows fitted with weather stripping. Its wedge action helps pull the window against the seal when closed.

The locking function uses an Allen key and grub screw to restrict normal handle operation. It is not described as a certified security lock. If tested window security is required, select additional hardware specifically approved for that purpose.

Specialist Polished Brass Window Stays

For fanlight windows and alternative casement arrangements, the collection includes:

• Roller arm stays for compatible bottom-hung fanlight windows
• Quadrant stays for controlling compatible fanlight or casement windows
• Sliding casement stays with an adjustable arm and screw-down knob

These stay types are not interchangeable. Confirm whether the window is top-hung, bottom-hung or side-hung and whether it opens inward or outward before ordering.

Polished Brass Fanlight Catches

A coordinating polished brass fanlight catch is available for compatible bottom-hung, inward-opening windows. Its ring pull can be operated with a suitable pole hook when the window is above normal reach.

The catch is supplied with alternative keepers for flush and recessed fitting arrangements. Check the product measurements and window profile to determine which keeper is required.

Casement Stay Locking Pins

A polished brass casement stay locking pin can replace a standard pin on a compatible traditional stay. It helps prevent the stay from being lifted casually during normal use.

This accessory should not automatically be treated as a complete or certified window-security system. Confirm compatibility with the existing stay before ordering.

Lacquered Polished Brass

This collection has a polished brass finish protected by lacquer. It is different from unlacquered polished brass, which reacts naturally to air, moisture and handling and develops a patina over time.

The lacquer is intended to retain a brighter, more consistent appearance, although normal handling and wear may eventually affect frequently used areas.

Caring for Polished Brass Window Furniture

To protect the lacquered finish:

• Remove dust and fingerprints with a soft cloth
• Use only mild cleaning products when necessary
• Dry the hardware after cleaning
• Do not use brass polish or other metal cleaners
• Avoid aerosol sprays, abrasive pads and harsh chemicals

If a fitting becomes difficult to operate, check the alignment, fixings and moving components rather than forcing the mechanism.
