Why are some window bars curved at the bottom?

  • Deters intrusions
  • Adds relief to the façade
  • Visually softens the sometimes strict look of the bars

Safety no longer rhymes with austerity: these gates embody true architectural ingenuity.

Where are these curved grilles found?

They are frequently seen in:

  • Old city centres
  • Mediterranean-inspired buildings
  • Houses with character
  • Some dense neighborhoods where the windows face directly onto the street

They are often made of wrought iron for a traditional style or steel for a more contemporary and refined look.

How to choose the right ones?

If you are thinking of installing one in your home, several criteria must be taken into account.

  1. The material

Choose robust metals such as steel or thick wrought iron to ensure effective resistance to break-in attempts.
