What is the purpose of this curved “belly”?
Contrary to what one might think, this shape is not purely aesthetic. It offers additional space outside the window, without encroaching on the interior of the room.
In urban environments where every centimeter counts, this space becomes particularly valuable.
An ideal support for planters
This is undoubtedly the most visible and charming use.
The curve creates a natural niche where planters can be placed stably. Colorful flowers, aromatic herbs, or trailing plants thus find their place without risk of falling, provided that the planters are adapted to the width of the grid and properly secured.
Result ?
Vibrant, flower-filled facades transform an ordinary street into a picture-postcard setting. In many European cities, these curved railings play a significant role in the architectural charm.
A convenient space for certain equipment
Another more pragmatic function: to allow the installation of small external equipment compatible with the window configuration.
The curved shape provides additional clearance which can facilitate:
Installing equipment without removing the protection
Sufficient air circulation
Maintaining window security
However, it is essential to verify that the equipment complies with local regulations and is securely fixed before any commissioning.
It is therefore an ingenious solution to reconcile comfort and protection.
