Have you noticed window bars with a slight bulge, or “potbelly,” and wondered about their purpose? Window bars, also known as security bars, are primarily used to protect homes from intruders by reinforcing windows.

The unique potbelly design serves an additional purpose—it provides a stable platform for flower boxes. This lets homeowners add greenery and charm to their windows, enhancing the building’s aesthetics. Imagine colorful blossoms adorning windows on a street—it’s both practical and beautiful!
