You may have noticed these windows with bars forming a slight bulge outwards, as if they were “going out” from the facade. This feature is not only aesthetic: it actually has several functions that are often overlooked, such as protection against intrusion, support for plants and a space for an air conditioner.

In Mediterranean countries and Latin America, these bulging bars are often used to accommodate flower pots. This design makes it possible to optimize the space by creating a suspended planter, ideal for urban dwellings.

- They offer natural shade, reducing inner heat.
- They improve air quality by absorbing certain polluting particles.
- They add an aesthetic and warm touch to the facade.
