Product Information

Full details

The From The Anvil 7-Inch Quadrant Stay is an ideal choice for homeowners and restorers looking to add a traditional, authentic aesthetic to bottom-hung fanlight windows. This set provides reliable support for your windows, keeping them open securely while projecting into the room for easy access. The primary caveat is that the Beeswax finish requires periodic maintenance to prevent surface oxidation in humid environments, making it less suitable for damp areas like bathrooms without regular care.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use these stays on windows in my bathroom?

It is not recommended. The Beeswax finish is sensitive to moisture and humidity, which can lead to rapid oxidation.

Are the fixing screws included?

Yes, the product includes the necessary fixing screws for standard installation.

What is the length of the fixing plate?

The fixing plate measures 70mm in length and 22mm in width.

Can I adjust the angle of the window opening?

No, these are fixed-length stays, so the window opening angle is determined by the size and mounting position of the arm.

How do I keep the Beeswax finish looking new?

Regular maintenance with a beeswax polish is essential to nourish the metal and maintain its protective layer.

Troubleshooting

Arm feels stiff or squeaky

Apply a light coating of clear beeswax polish or a silicone-free lubricant to the hinge points.

Surface appearing dull or showing rust spots

Gently remove any light surface rust with fine wire wool and re-apply a coat of beeswax polish.

Fixing screws becoming loose over time

Check that the screws are tightened into solid wood; if the hole has widened, use a wood filler or matchstick trick to provide a fresh grip for the screw.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Authentic period-style appearance
  • Sturdy construction ensures window stability
  • Includes all necessary mounting hardware
  • Easy to install on standard fanlight frames

Cons

  • Beeswax finish susceptible to moisture
  • Requires regular maintenance to keep finish pristine
  • Fixed length limits opening positions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install these stays, align the 70mm x 22mm fixing plates with the side of your window jamb. Ensure the window is fully closed and the arm is positioned to allow the desired opening angle before marking your drill holes. Pre-drilling is recommended to avoid splitting the timber.

Care Instructions

  • Cleaning: Wipe occasionally with a soft, dry cloth.
  • Finish Maintenance: Since the Beeswax finish is a natural wax coating, re-apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually to maintain the sheen and provide a protective barrier against oxidation.
  • Avoidance: Do not use chemical cleaners, as these will strip the beeswax and expose the bare metal to potential rusting.
