Polished Chrome Window Furniture

Polished Chrome Casement Window Stays

Casement window stays hold an outward-opening timber window at a chosen position. Traditional designs use a long stay with a series of holes that locate over one of the supplied frame pins.

Our polished chrome range includes ball-end and spoon-end stays in several lengths. Before selecting a size, measure the available space on the opening window and consider the width, weight and required opening angle.

A longer stay can allow a wider opening, but it must fit comfortably on the window without interfering with the frame, handle or surrounding joinery. Check the technical drawing for the exact length and fixing centres.

Casement Window Fasteners

A casement fastener secures the opening window against its frame. Polished chrome options include matching ball-end and spoon-end designs, together with wedge-pattern fasteners.

When replacing existing furniture, check:

• Whether the window opens to the left or right
• Whether the selected fastener is reversible
• The position and profile of the frame keeper
• The available fixing area on the timber
• Whether the window has weather stripping
• The fixing centres of the existing hardware

Product compatibility varies, so do not rely on appearance alone when replacing an existing window handle.

Fasteners for Weather-Stripped Windows

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

Our polished chrome range includes a locking wedge fastener specifically designed for compatible timber windows fitted with weather stripping. The wedge action helps pull the window against the seal when closed.

The locking function is operated with the supplied Allen key and grub screw. It restricts normal operation but is not described as a security-rated window lock. If certified window security is required, choose hardware specifically tested for that purpose.

Specialist Fanlight Window Hardware

For bottom-hung or high-level windows, the collection includes roller arm, quadrant and sliding stays:

• Roller arm stays restrict the opening of compatible bottom-hung fanlight windows and are available in two lengths
• Quadrant stays use a curved arm to hold a compatible fanlight or casement window at a selected opening
• Sliding stays use an adjustable arm and screw-down knob to hold a casement window in position

Window orientation differs between these products. Check whether the stay is suitable for a top-hung, bottom-hung or side-hung window before ordering.

A polished chrome fanlight catch is also available for fastening a compatible bottom-hung, inward-opening window when closed.

Casement Stay Locking Pins

A casement stay locking pin replaces a standard stay pin on a compatible traditional window stay. It can help prevent the stay from being lifted casually from the pin.

Check that the locking pin is compatible with the stay design and fixing arrangement. It should not automatically be treated as a complete or certified window-security system.

Caring for Polished Chrome Window Furniture

The polished chrome finish should be cleaned gently with a soft, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid metal polish, abrasive pads and strong chemical sprays, as these can scratch or damage the protective surface.

Remove moisture and dirt promptly, particularly around moving components. Do not force stiff window furniture; first check the window alignment, fixing screws and mechanism.

Products described as polished chrome can vary slightly when sourced from different ranges or produced on different base components. If exact coordination is important, compare the selected products together before installation.
