M.Marcus Window Furniture Questions

What is the difference between casement and sash window furniture?
Casement windows are hinged at the side and usually open outwards, so they use a casement stay to hold them open and a casement fastener to hold them shut. Sash windows slide up and down, so they use a sash fastener to lock the meeting rails and sash lifts or rings to raise the window.

What size casement stay do I need?
Heritage Brass casement stays come in 8, 10 and 12 inch lengths. Choose the length that suits the width of the opening window, and when replacing a stay, match the length of the old one so the existing pin positions still work.

Which sash fastener should I choose?
Hook plate fasteners have an arm that swings into a hook on the other rail. Fitch fasteners use a cam that draws the meeting rails together, which helps stop rattles. Brighton fasteners tighten with a screw knob. Lockable versions of each add a key.

What is a weather stripped casement fastener?
It is made for windows with draught seals fitted around the frame. The seal leaves a wider gap between the casement and the frame, so the fastener has a longer reach to close the window properly.

Do I need lockable window furniture?
Lockable fasteners and espagnolette handles can only be opened with a key, which adds security on ground floor and easy-to-reach windows. Some home insurance policies ask for key-operated window locks, so it is worth checking yours.

What are fanlight catches and stays for?
A fanlight is a small top-hung window, often above a casement or door. A fanlight catch holds it shut, roller arm and quadrant stays hold it open at a set angle, and a pole hook lets you open a high window with a window pole.

Heritage Brass Window Furniture by Finish

Replacing window furniture

Matching Your Existing Window Fittings

  • Casement stays: measure the stay from end to end. Heritage Brass stays come in 8, 10 and 12 inch lengths, and matching the old length means the existing pin positions still line up.
  • Casement fasteners: if your window has draught seals, choose a weather stripped fastener, which has a longer reach.
  • Sash fasteners: check the width of the meeting rails and the fixing positions of the old fastener before choosing a new one.
  • Espagnolette handles: choose left or right hand to suit the side the window opens from.
  • One finish throughout: order stays, fasteners and handles in the same pattern and finish so every window matches.

Lockable Window Furniture

Ground floor and easy-to-reach windows are the ones most worth locking. Heritage Brass makes lockable casement fasteners, lockable sash fasteners and lockable espagnolette handles that look the same as the standard versions but open only with a key.

For sash windows, locking sash window stops let you leave the window open a little for ventilation while stopping it from being opened further.
