The Ludlow Foundries curly tail casement stay matches the curly tail fastener and is available in three lengths. The stay is a modern reproduction of the classic blacksmiths curly tail stay which has been made for centuries.  Curly tail stays and fasteners can been seen in many country properties both old and new.
Three Popular Lengths Available
The curly tail stay is available in the usual three popular sizes; 203mm, 254mm and 305mm. These sizes will suit almost all window sizes from small fanlight windows to normal casements. The general rule of thumb is to use a stay which is between 50% and 60% of the window width.
Ludlow Black Antique Finish
Malleable wrought iron is by its very nature susceptible to rusting and should be cared for accordingly. It will require a regular maintenance routine which should include a light application of oil and an occasional application of clear wax.
Additional Security as Required
For additional security and to meet insurance company guidelines a locking pin is available to secure the stay, as unfortunately the Ludlow fastener does not come in a locking version. See related products.
