    Ok i am confused because i think this is not something acknowledged worldwide .

    Two things we are talking about

    the metal bars installed within the stones, those are meant to protect the kids from falling specially if you live on non ground floor, some ground floor install them to prevent burglaries, but it’s mainly to protect kids from falling

    Example

    Now you were asking about windows shutters (i dont know the market name for them worldwide) Anyway those are meant to give privacy at night, shield from cold winter, block the light coming from windows when you sleep, and sometimes noise blocking at daylight.

    Example brown thing behind the metal bars

    Both should coexist in most apartments, its a normal thing here.

      Those shutters are neat. Usually when I see them they’re entirely for security purposes on businesses. Like these:

      storefront rolling security shutters

      Or in some hurricane-prone (and wealthy) areas you might see them on houses:

      home security shutters

      But I’ve never seen them on apartment buildings before your post.
