Cast Iron Casement Stays – Traditional Craftsmanship for Authentic Windows
Cast iron casement stays – also known as window stays, peg stays, casement arms, window restrictors, espag stays and even, more informally, latches – are essential pieces of hardware for holding a casement window securely in position. Whether you’re restoring a period property or fitting hardware to new timber, aluminium or uPVC frames, the right stay provides both dependable function and timeless character.
Our collection of cast iron peg stays showcases classic British craftsmanship, with each piece shaped using traditional foundry techniques. The result is hardware that feels solid, authentic and beautifully tactile—ideal for heritage joinery or anyone seeking a durable, long-lasting alternative to modern friction stays.
A casement stay is typically a slender metal bar that rests on pegs fixed to the frame, allowing you to set the window at your preferred opening. Styles range from simple straight arms to decorative forms such as monkey tail, bulb end, and round ring designs—each adding its own personality to the window. Whether you call them casement stays, window arms, or restrictor stays, their purpose remains the same: to give you reliable, adjustable control of ventilation while complementing the overall look of your windows.
Our cast iron range includes both fixed and adjustable options, providing solutions for traditional cottages, period restorations and contemporary refurbishments alike. Fixed stays offer classic authenticity, while adjustable models give you multiple opening positions for flexibility and comfort. For extra peace of mind, locking versions are also available—an excellent choice for ground-floor windows or family homes.
Every stay is finished by hand and supplied in robust, long-lasting coatings such as natural blackened iron or beeswax. These finishes not only protect the iron but develop a rich patina over time, helping your window furniture age gracefully and pair seamlessly with matching fasteners, hinges or door hardware.
Whether you’re searching for a cast iron casement stay, cast iron window stay, cast iron peg stay, or simply a decorative stay arm to complete your window set, our collection delivers high-quality craftsmanship and dependable performance. Perfect for listed buildings, new builds with traditional styling, or any project where aesthetics and durability matter.
If you need guidance on sizing, handle style or finish, our knowledgeable team is always happy to help you choose the ideal cast iron stay for your windows.
