Why do window bars have a low curvature outwards?

Enhanced protection against intrusion

The other, more obvious, reason is safety. These bars form an effective barrier against intrusion, especially for the windows on the ground floor and the first floors.

A practical support for air conditioners

In some major cities such as New York or Paris, where space is limited, this curvature can be exploited to install an air-conditioning unit. This curvature then makes it possible to:

• Secure the installation by preventing the device from tilting.
• Optimize space by avoiding room indoors, convenient in small apartments.

This depends, of course, on the strength of the bars and the window configuration, but in some cases it is a very practical solution.

A multifunctional design

Finally, these curved bars are much more than just a security element. They provide additional useful space for plants, ventilation or temporary storage of objects.

A simple architectural detail that combines safety, aesthetics and practicality … The next time you come across these windows, you will know that they are not just here to make it pretty.
