Aracena Flat Baluster - Contemporary Straight Profile for Fences and Balconies
Aracena Flat Baluster: What It Is
This is a concrete baluster with a flat profile and a width of 33 cm, designed for anyone who wants a balustrade without the traditional turned vase shape. The piece is wide with a slim edge, so the run reads as a series of vertical slats: it keeps the classic logic of a balustrade but with a much more restrained design, which suits new builds and straight-lined renovations.
✅ Main Advantages
Contemporary design: the alternative when a turned baluster clashes with a modern façade.
33 cm wide per piece: you cover more linear metres with fewer units than with a narrow-shaft baluster.
Two thicknesses, 8 and 10 cm: the 8 cm slims down the overall look; the 10 cm gives the run more body and shadow.
Around 12 kg per piece: easy to handle by hand when installing on a balcony or terrace without vehicle access.
White as standard: a uniform finish in both sizes, with no difference in shade between thicknesses.
🏗️ Recommended Applications
Plot fences and straight-lined garden enclosures.
Balcony and terrace parapets.
Dividers between landscaped areas.
Decorative enclosures at entrances and porches in new builds.

🧰 Installation
Check that the top of the wall is level and free of dust.
Dry-lay the run first: since the pieces are wide, the spacing of the gap between them is far more noticeable than with a narrow baluster.
Mark the centre lines and make sure the two end pieces are identical.
Set each baluster on a bed of bonding mortar and plumb it in both directions: the wide face reveals any lean.
Check the alignment of the run with a string line at mid-height before the mortar sets.
Fit the wall coping or top cap and point the joints once the run has settled.
📦 Available Formats
33 × 8 × 60 cm, per unit or pallet of 90 units.
33 × 10 × 60 cm, per unit or pallet of 90 units.
💡 Pro tip: don't mix the two thicknesses in the same run. On paper the difference between 8 and 10 cm seems negligible, but against the light the shadows change and the surface looks uneven. Choose one thickness for the whole project and order all the material at once from the same batch: that also avoids shade variations between production runs.
