From The Anvil Casement Stays

Window Stays in Every From The Anvil Design

A window stay, or casement stay, holds a casement window open at the position you choose and stops it swinging. From The Anvil makes its casement stays to match its casement fasteners, locking window handles and door furniture, so the whole window can carry one design and finish.

Most designs come in 8 inch, 10 inch and 12 inch sizes. There are steel window stays with an offset backplate for Crittall style windows, sliding casement stays that hold at any point, and window stay pins, including locking stay pins for extra security.

Casement Stays: Questions

What does a casement stay do?

A casement stay holds a casement window open at the position you choose and stops it swinging in the wind. Most From The Anvil stays sit on a stay pin fixed to the frame, and a sliding stay is held by tightening a screw onto the sliding arm.

What size window stay do I need?

Most From The Anvil designs come in 8, 10 and 12 inch sizes, about 222mm to 360mm long overall. Choose the longest stay that fits the bottom rail of the opening casement without hitting the frame or glazing bars.

Are stay pins included?

The steel window stays are supplied with a stay pin and stay rest. For other stays, check the product page. Standard, cranked, offset, EJMA and locking stay pins are sold separately in the stay pins collection.

Can I lock a casement stay?

Yes. Replace one standard stay pin with a From The Anvil locking stay pin, so the stay can be locked to the frame for extra security.

Buying Guide

How to Choose a Window Stay

Choosing a window stay comes down to three things: the size, the type and the finish.

1. The size: most From The Anvil designs come in 8 inch, 10 inch and 12 inch sizes, about 222mm to 360mm long overall. Choose the longest stay that fits the bottom rail of the opening casement without hitting the frame or glazing bars.

2. The type: a standard casement stay sits on a stay pin fixed to the frame. Sliding casement stays are held by tightening a screw onto the sliding arm. For Crittall style steel windows, choose the steel window stays, which have an offset backplate and come with a stay pin and stay rest.

3. The finish: match the fastener and the rest of the window, from brass window stays for period homes to black window stays for cottage windows. Compare every finish in the From The Anvil finish guide.

Finishing Touches

Stays, Fasteners and Stay Pins

Match the fastener: a casement window usually needs a fastener to hold it shut and a stay to hold it open. Choose casement fasteners or locking window handles in the same design and finish as the stay.

The right stay pin: the window stay pins include cranked pins for flush casement windows, offset pins for heavily moulded windows, EJMA pins for sloped or angled frames, and locking stay pins. Replace one standard pin with a locking pin so the stay can be locked to the frame.
