FAQs

What is the main benefit of the bulb-end design?

The bulb-end design provides a distinctive, classic aesthetic, often referred to as a 'pear drop' style. It is particularly beneficial when paired with the matching Carlisle Brass Bulb End Casement Fastener for a uniform and traditional look.

What sizes are available for this casement stay?

The Carlisle Brass Bulb End Casement Stay is available in three sizes: 202mm (8 inches), 253mm (10 inches), and 305mm (12 inches).

What type of windows is this stay suitable for?

This casement stay is specifically designed for use with traditional timber casement windows.

Does it come with screws for installation?

Screws for installation are typically not supplied with casement stays. You will need to use appropriate screws suitable for your timber window frame and casement.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The Carlisle Brass Bulb End Casement Stay comes with a 10-year mechanical guarantee.

Can I use this stay on uPVC windows?

No, this stay is designed for timber windows and may not be compatible with or suitable for uPVC window systems.

How should I clean and maintain the polished brass finish?

Clean with a soft, damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners. For best results, use mild soap and water, drying thoroughly. Regular dusting will help maintain the finish.

Troubleshooting

Stay is stiff or difficult to move

Check for any obstructions or misalignment. Ensure screws are not overtightened, which can restrict movement. A small amount of appropriate lubricant may be applied to the pivot points if necessary.

Stay does not hold the window in the desired position

Ensure the stay is fully extended and locked into position. Check that the window is not too heavy for the stay's intended support. If wear is apparent, consider replacing the stay.

Screws are not holding firmly

Ensure you are screwing into solid timber. If the wood is soft or has been previously drilled, you may need to use larger screws or wood filler/dowels to create a more secure fixing point.

Discoloration or tarnishing of the brass finish

This is normal for brass over time, especially in certain environments. Clean with a soft cloth. For restoration, a dedicated brass polish can be used, but follow product instructions carefully.
