Peñalara Baluster 40 cm - Solid Piece With No Reinforcement, Rust-Free
Peñalara 40 cm Baluster: What It Is
This is a solid concrete baluster measuring 13 × 13 × 40 cm, designed to top block, brick or stone walls without resorting to metal railings. It is made without internal reinforcement, using high-compaction techniques: there is no iron inside to rust and burst the piece after a few winters, which is the usual failure of reinforced balustrades.
✅ Main advantages
No internal reinforcement: nothing to rust, swell and crack the shaft from within; the piece ages without rust stains.
High compaction: the concrete is pressed into a very dense mass, with fewer pores for rainwater to get in.
7.3 kg per piece: light enough for a single worker to install a long section without lifting equipment.
Discreet 40 cm height: the lowest in the collection; it lets the eye pass over the wall and works well on parapets and garden dividers.
White finish as standard: matches the caps, pier covers and wedges from the same collection without having to hunt for a shade.
🏗️ Recommended applications
Topping plot boundary walls.
Terrace parapets and low garden dividers.
Decorative balustrades on porches and entrances.
Ornamental divisions in landscaped areas and walkways.
Check that the top of the wall is level and free of dust and mortar residue.
Set out the centerline of each baluster and mark the spacing: distribute first and install afterwards, so the last piece doesn't end up at an awkward distance.
Drill and fit the galvanized dowel pin at the marked point; the pin is what prevents the shaft from tipping sideways.
Seat each baluster on a bed of bonding mortar, guiding the pin into the bottom hole.
Plumb each piece one by one and correct before the mortar starts to set.
Fit the top cap as soon as the row is plumb and point the joints at the end, once everything has settled.
📦 Available formats
Single unit of 13 × 13 × 40 cm.
Full pallet of 98 units.
💡 Professional tip: distribute the spacing between centerlines before making the first drill hole. The most common mistake is to start installing from one end and keep going: when you reach the end pillar, you are left with half a gap too many or too few, and there is no way to hide it. Also allow for 5% extra pieces: the caps have to be cut at the junctions and some are always lost.
