Aracena Flat Baluster - Contemporary Straight Profile for Fences and Balconies
Aracena Flat Baluster: what it is
It's a concrete baluster with a flat section, 33 cm wide, designed for anyone who wants a balustrade without the traditional vase-shaped turning. The piece is wide and thin in profile, so the run reads as a series of vertical panels: it keeps the classic logic of the enclosure but with a much more restrained look, suiting both new builds and straight-line renovations.
✅ Key advantages
Contemporary look: the alternative when a turned baluster clashes with a modern façade.
33 cm wide per piece: covers more linear metres with fewer units than a narrow-shaft baluster.
Two thicknesses, 8 and 10 cm: the 8 cm gives a slimmer look; the 10 cm adds more body and shadow to the run.
Around 12 kg per piece: manageable by hand for balcony or terrace jobs with no vehicle access.
Standard white: a uniform finish across both thicknesses, with no tone difference between them.
🏗️ Recommended applications
Plot fences and straight-line garden enclosures.
Balcony and terrace parapets.
Dividers between landscaped areas.
Decorative enclosures at new-build entrances and porches.

🧰 Installation
Check that the top of the wall is level and free of dust.
Dry-lay the run: being wide pieces, the spacing between them shows far more than with a narrow baluster.
Mark the centres and make sure the two end pieces match.
Bed each baluster on a pat of bonding mortar and plumb it in both directions: the wide face shows up any lean.
Check the run's alignment with a string line at mid-height before the mortar starts to grab.
Fit the wall coping or top cap and point the joints once the run has set.

💡 Professional tip: don't mix the two thicknesses in the same run. On paper the difference between 8 and 10 cm looks negligible, but against the light the shadows change and the panel looks uneven. Pick one thickness for the whole job and order the full quantity from a single batch: that also avoids tone shifts between production runs.
