FAQs
What size window is the 10-inch stay suitable for?
The 10-inch (288mm overall length) stay is suitable for medium-sized window sashes. Dimensions are provided to help you match it to your specific window frame and sash.
Is this product suitable for external windows?
Yes, the durable, corrosion-resistant black finish makes it suitable for external windows, especially in environments prone to moisture or condensation.
Does it come with fixings?
Yes, each Peardrop Stay is sold individually and includes matching SS wood screws for installation.
Can I use this on UPVC or metal windows?
This stay is designed primarily for wooden windows. Compatibility with other materials may require specific adapters or alternative mounting methods not included.
How do I clean the black finish?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
Can I get this in other colors?
While this specific product is the black finish, From The Anvil offers various hardware in different finishes. However, the Peardrop range is specifically highlighted in this black finish for its traditional appeal.
How many stays do I need for one window?
Typically, one window would require two stays for balanced support, one on each side. This product is sold individually.
Troubleshooting
Window stay feels stiff or difficult to move.
Check for any obstructions or debris around the pivot points. Ensure screws are not overtightened. A small amount of lubricant may be applied to the pivot mechanism.
Window does not stay open at the desired position.
Verify that the stay arm is correctly seated on the frame fixing plate. Ensure the window sash is not excessively heavy for the chosen stay size. Check that all screws are securely tightened.
Black finish appears to be wearing or corroding.
This is uncommon due to the high-temperature baking process. Ensure only non-abrasive cleaners are used. Contact the manufacturer if significant corrosion is observed, as this may indicate a manufacturing defect.
Screws do not grip securely in the wood.
Pilot holes may be too large, or the wood may be soft. Consider using slightly larger screws or wood filler to create a more secure fixing point.
