Why Do Some Window Grills Have Curves At The Bottom? The Answer Is Surprising

Some people have bars, or window grills, on the outside of their windows in their homes. They come in various styles but serve an important purpose: enhancing the home’s safety. Some are curved, offering a more aesthetic alternative.

A window grill is an excellent option for adding security to a home and a touch of style to traditional box or rectangular-shaped windows. They come with decorative bars, including those with diamonds or curled ends. Although they serve the purpose of increasing safety, they don’t do much to break up the monotony of traditionally shaped homes in the U.S.

Luckily, curved or “potbellied” window grills are available as a more decorative alternative. They add depth to the outside appearance of one’s home and allow space for planter boxes, which add vibrant colors and a cheery welcome to passersby.

Second, the curved window grill allows space for an air conditioning unit or window fan to be installed.
