When planning a curved glass atrium, lobby, or hallway, architects and designers want air distribution to seamlessly blend in, not awkwardly stick out. KEES architectural bar grilles thrive at the intersection of functionality and design. We manufacture curved bar grilles to your exact radii for functional hardware that harmonizes with the aesthetics of a space.
How KEES Makes Curved Architectural Bar Grilles
Most manufacturers only have the tools to make perfectly straight grilles. At KEES, we have both the specialized machinery and the skills in design and fabrication to make curved grilles. For one order we can produce multiple grilles, each with their own curvature, to encircle a space.
KEES architectural bar grilles are all-welded, a manufacturing process that creates stronger, sturdier grilles and lets us stretch the limit of what shapes they can take. Our all-welded grilles use fewer support bars, feature face bars that are perfectly parallel, and come in the largest single pieces in the industry, resulting in a streamlined, continuous appearance.
How KEES Curves Grilles for Wall and Floor Installations
KEES has the manufacturing capabilities to curve grilles to match the shape of walls and/or floors.
Concave/Convex: KEES can produce both concave and convex bar grilles for installation in curved walls.
Radiused: KEES can radius a bar grille so that its face remains level with the floor while its shape follows a curve.
How to Specify a KEES Curved Architectural Bar Grille
Materials
Painted Steel: A cost-effective material, painted in a finish of choice.
Aluminum: A mid-cost material with better corrosion-resistance than painted steel.
Stainless Steel: A higher-cost, heavy-duty material that stands up to repeat cleanings and outdoor elements brought inside by foot traffic.
Brass and Bronze: Exotic materials prized for their aesthetics.
Frame Style:
Flanged Frame: Frame contains an outward flange that overlaps the floor material.
Straight Frame/Flangeless Frame: Frame contains no outward flange and is flush with the floor. Provides a cleaner look.
Face Bar Thickness: The face bars of a curved architectural bar grille can be made to a desired thickness, depending on the aesthetics of the installation.
Finish:
Anodized: Aluminum treated for a durable finish.
Brushed or Satin: A polished look for aluminum or stainless steel.
Painted: Steel or aluminum can be painted to match a desired color.
Clear Lacquer: A patina-resistant coat for brass and bronze.
