Casement windows have been a popular choice for homeowners for centuries, offering an elegant and functional design that adds character to any property. One essential component of these windows is the casement window stay, which not only ensures the window stays open or closed as desired but also adds an element of style to your home. In this blog post, we will explore the various types of casement window stays available, their benefits, and how to choose the perfect one for your home.
Before diving into the world of casement window stays, it's essential to understand the history and design of casement windows. These windows date back to medieval times, featuring a hinged design that allows them to swing open either horizontally or vertically. Casement windows have evolved over the years, with modern designs offering improved energy efficiency, security, and aesthetic appeal.
Casement window stays play a crucial role in the functionality and appearance of your windows. They are designed to hold the window open at various angles, allowing you to control the amount of ventilation in your home. Additionally, they provide an added layer of security by preventing unwanted access when the window is closed.
The right casement window stay can also enhance the overall style of your home, with various designs and finishes available to suit any aesthetic. Whether you're looking for a traditional, modern, or minimalist look, there's a casement window stay to match your style.
There are several types of casement window stays available, each offering its benefits and unique style. Some of the most popular options include:
Telescopic stays are designed with an adjustable arm that can be extended or retracted to hold the window open at various angles. These stays are incredibly versatile and can be used with both traditional and modern casement window designs. They are available in a range of finishes, including brass, chrome, and satin nickel, allowing you to match your window stay to your home's décor.
Peg stays feature a simple design, with a peg that slots into a series of holes on the window frame to hold the window open at different angles. This type of stay is ideal for traditional homes, offering a classic and timeless look. Peg stays can be found in various materials and finishes, such as cast iron, brass, and bronze.
For added security, locking stays are an excellent option. These stays feature a locking mechanism that prevents the window from being opened from the outside when closed. Locking stays are available in various designs and finishes, ensuring that you can find the perfect match for your home's style while enhancing security.
Folding stays are designed to fold flat against the window frame when not in use, offering a sleek and minimalist appearance. These stays are perfect for modern homes, with their clean lines and unobtrusive design. Folding stays can be found in a range of finishes, including stainless steel and brushed aluminium, to complement your home's contemporary aesthetic.
When selecting a casement window stay for your home, there are several factors to consider, including:
Style:Consider the overall style of your home and choose a casement window stay that complements your existing décor. For example, if you have a traditional home, a peg stay may be the ideal choice, while a folding stay may be better suited to a modern property.
Functionality:Think about how you want your casement windows to function and select a stay that meets your needs. For example, if you require a stay that offers multiple opening angles, a telescopic stay may be the best option.
Material and Finish:Casement window stays are available in various materials and finishes, so consider your home's existing hardware and choose a stay that matches or complements it.
Security:If security is a concern, opt for a locking stay to provide added peace of mind.
By considering these factors, you can find the perfect casement window stay to enhance both the functionality and style of your home.
In summary, casement window stays are an essential component of your casement windows, offering both practical benefits and aesthetic appeal. By understanding the different types of stays available and considering your home's style and needs, you can select the perfect stay to complement your property. With the right casement window stay in place, you can enjoy improved ventilation, security, and a beautiful addition to your home's overall appearance.
Casement windows are the most common style of window. They feature hinged panels that swing open and closed. Casement windows are available in single panels or multiple panels. The direction a door swings, either to the right or the left, is called the handing. In addition to handing, window are identified as either inswing or outswing depending on whether they open into the house or towards the outside.

This newly built private house is in Sydney, Australia. The area occupied by the fenestration system in our scheduled design drawings was up to more than 110 square meters. A wide range of design details made the perfect mix of modern aesthetics and traditional sophistication, the simulated vertical hung windows with tilt & turn opening systems in this home are absolutely breathtaking. SDLS (Simulated Divided Lites with Spacer Bar) brings some historical vintage feeling to the whole building without losing any energy saving performance. Long narrow fixed windows creating larger-than-life expenses, coupled with German high-end systems made this project stand out from the rest.
The client's idea was to maintain a certain vintage feel, and our aim was to meet the energy efficiency needs and standards of modern houses as much as possible while maintaining a retro design. Doorwin’s 61S simulated hung windows with tilt & turn openings is a respectful modernization of a classic architectural masterwork.
Why choose the tilt and turn opening method?
Because it generally has better air seals than sliding, single hung, or double hung window frames. Tilt and turn windows form a complete seal when fully closed, this means they are less prone to water leakage, and cold draughts and you’ll keep more of your heating indoors where it belongs. They can be opened in the upper tilt way to ventilate at a minimum opening status and are easy to clean outside of the glass; when there’s a good day, they can be opened as normal inward casement windows.
Our well-crafted bespoke systems enhance the functionality and panoramic view of this modern house.
Huge, fixed glass walls up to seven meters long and two meters high bring great lighting and open views, making it really refreshing to the mind. Five meters high long narrow windows give the whole building a contemporary aesthetic.
Every window’s placement and shape not only add to the uniqueness of this home but also provide a more energy-saving ability for the owners.
Doorwin energy-efficient integrated glazing units feature double-pane glass, warm-edge spacers, argon gas fill, Low-E coatings, and fully tempered glass, they can not only create a comfortable and natural indoor environment but also save electricity bills and heating bills of more than 100 USD for the owner, it’s a real bargain compared to choosing a regular glazing set.
Aluminum Door offered an air of uniqueness and elegance to a home. With their luxurious patterns and beautiful finishes, it provides this house with a bounty of aesthetics and security. Aluminum entry doors allow you to resist any weather extremes, corrosion, and pests. So aluminum is one of the most resilient and durable materials you can select for front doors considering the price/performance ratio.
With pieces of double panes, and Low-E tempered glass. The door provides a good insulation performance.

For windows and doors, hardware is as important as the engine is to the car. The continuous technological innovation of the European hardware industry has strongly promoted the performance improvement and functional innovation of windows and doors. In this project, Doorwin uses Hoppe™ multi-point locks, hinges, and handles from Germany.
Multi-point lock systems provide not only the burglar-resistance but also a tighter compression seam, making the window keeps good energy-efficient performance. Together with Technoform Bautec’s insulation edge bond and sealant strips, these make up our products' top insulation and energy-saving performance.

A cost that may bring you unexpected savings that far exceed the price difference you may care about now.
With our own expertise, we provided the no-cost design development and contract documentation with CAD & BIM drawings, including elevation, details about the project, and installation help.
Before production, we will provide accurate sample drawings, which will clearly show the cross-sectional pattern, size, opening method and direction, pattern of the warm spacer, and the installation nodes.
