If you are looking to create a quintessential, country house look, our 30cm Barber Window Stay fits the bill perfectly. Designed for use on side opening timber casement windows, this forged iron window stay is crafted from high quality steel and finished in our polished paint for a steely, gunmetal grey appeal that will give your home a contemporary edge. An essential fixture for casement windows, window stays will keep your window open and in place when the window is open, and securely shut when the window is closed.
All our forged iron window stays are handcrafted here at our Suffolk workshops using traditional metalworking techniqus that have been passed down through the generations. Beeswax is a method used for treating metal since Tudor times. After forging, the metal is heated until it darkens and dipped into hot beeswax to give it its distinctive soft black appearance. Our Barber window range is a traditional design that suits period properties or interiors where you wish to introduce some country house style.
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Length: The overall length is 34cm, from end to end. The stay alone is 30cm.
Sizes: It is available in 3 lengths (25, 30 & 35cms) and works with a variety of window sizes.
Finish: Polished - a gunmetal finish that highlights the natural colour of polished, lacquered iron for a vintage or industrial look that suits a contemporary setting and will update a traditional one. To produce the finish, we coat our steel products in a metallic lacquer that emulates the texture and patina of iron and gives the product great character that looks wonderful with grey or natural colourways and works particularly well with other metallic finishes such as nickel.

They won't work on a top-hung casement window because the angle of opening is too steep. The stay needs to sit flat to latch into the peg holes and a top hung casement window produces a steep angle that prevents the stay from latching into the peg holes. Instead, you will need to use a friction hinge that is not currently in our product range.
