Peñalara Coping 18 cm - Handrail at 2 Pieces per Linear Metre
Peñalara Coping 18 cm: what it is
It's the handrail that crowns the row of balusters in the Peñalara collection and turns it into one solid assembly. It measures 50 × 18 × 8 cm and is laid at 2 pieces per linear metre, so working out the order is straightforward. Its 13.5 cm inner recess fits over the head of the 13 × 13 cm baluster, giving a proper seat with nothing to trim on site.
✅ Key advantages
2 pieces per linear metre: direct measuring and ordering, with no coefficients or conversions.
13.5 cm recess: sits over the head of the 13 × 13 cm baluster and self-centres the row.
18 cm wide: enough overhang for water to drain clear of the balusters below.
Ties the run together: links every piece at the top and stops the balusters tipping sideways.
14.95 kg per piece: manageable by hand from a working platform.
🏗️ Recommended applications
Capping balustrades on enclosure walls.
Terrace, balcony and roof-terrace handrails.
Indoor and outdoor staircase railings.
Pool and plot enclosures.

🧰 Installation
Wait until the row of balusters is plumb and the bedding mortar has set.
Dry-lay the coping over the whole run and decide where the cuts fall, ideally next to a pillar rather than mid-run.
Check that the dowel heads line up with the coping's holes.
Bed each piece on bonding mortar spread over the whole contact surface.
Line up the visible face with a taut string from end to end; the coping is the line seen from the street.
Point the joints between pieces once the run has set.

💡 Professional tip: at 2 pieces per linear metre, a 7.30 m run won't come out to a round number, so a cut is needed. Decide in advance where that cut goes and place it next to a pillar, out of sight; leave it for the end and it lands mid-run and stands out. Always order 5% extra for cuts and for the odd chipped piece on unloading.
