Carlisle Brass Fanlight Window Furniture

Premium Carlisle Brass Hardware for Timber Fanlights

Carlisle Brass Fanlight Window Furniture is designed for high-level ventilation windows used above doors and internal openings. These traditional top-hung fanlights are still popular in UK homes, schools and commercial buildings, especially where airflow is required without compromising security. Trade Door Handles is one of the UK’s leading suppliers of architectural ironmongery, trusted by tradespeople and homeowners nationwide since 1976.

Specialist fittings for smooth and secure fanlight operation

This collection brings together high-quality fanlight fittings from Carlisle Brass, including catches, quadrant arm stays and roller arm stays. These products help fanlights open smoothly, stay securely in position and close firmly to reduce draughts and rattling.

The Carlisle Brass fanlight hardware range includes:

All designs are suitable for timber fanlights in residential and commercial settings, and are available in classic finishes such as Polished Brass, Satin Chrome and Polished Chrome – ideal for period refurbishments, heritage properties and sympathetic modern upgrades.

Ventilation for high-level areas

Carlisle Brass fanlight fittings allow fresh air to circulate through high rooms without opening a large window. This supports airflow in entrances, hallways, staircases and bathrooms while reducing condensation and maintaining security.

Fanlight Hardware Guidance

Selecting the Right Carlisle Brass Fanlight Window Furniture

Carlisle Brass Fanlight Window Furniture is designed to keep high timber fanlights practical, secure and easy to operate. Fanlight catches provide a solid close and can be used with a pole hook, making them a popular option for loft hatches and high cupboard doors as well. Roller arm stays and quadrant arm stays help support the sash as it opens, preventing it from going too far or twisting in the frame.

To maintain a consistent style, many customers choose a matching finish for all fittings in view of the same room or hallway. Polished Brass suits traditional joinery, while Satin Chrome and Polished Chrome work well in modern bathrooms and stairwells.

If you are unsure which fittings are required for your project, our friendly team can offer guidance based on room type, fanlight size and style preferences.
