Moddex Launches Proprietary Modular Flat Bar Balustrade System

Moddex is proud to announce the launch of FlatBal™, a proprietary modular flat bar balustrade system, created to bring a sharper architectural finish to commercial and public infrastructure projects. 

As design and aesthetics continue to play a greater role in project outcomes, FlatBal™ gives architects, specifiers, builders and contractors a more refined alternative to traditional round tube balustrades, without compromising on compliance, safety or installation efficiency. 

Built from Moddex’s proven Conectabal® commercial balustrade range, FlatBal™ combines the premium look of architectural flat bar with the speed and predictability of a prefabricated, no-weld system. Manufactured to site measurements and supplied as a kit set, it helps reduce the cost, delays and complexity often associated with custom flat bar fabrication. 

Joe Rowland, Sales Director at Moddex, said the launch reflects Moddex’s continued focus on innovation and practical project solutions. 

“FlatBal™ is an exciting step forward for the Australian and New Zealand market. We’re seeing more projects where design and aesthetics are becoming a key consideration, but compliance and safety remain absolutely critical. FlatBal™ brings those priorities together in one system,” said Joe. 

“As the first in Australia and New Zealand to launch a proprietary prefabricated flat bar balustrade system, we’re proud to offer a solution that gives projects a more architectural finish, while still delivering the reliability, speed and compliance support Moddex is known for.” 

Available in eight standard configurations for level, ramp and stair applications, FlatBal™ is designed to integrate across wider Moddex access solutions, including Assistrail®, Bikesafe®, Bridgerail® and Ezibilt™. It is also available in galvanised and powder coated finishes, supporting a consistent and considered design outcome across schools, universities, public spaces, transport infrastructure, commercial buildings and more. 

Joe said the product is a clear example of Moddex’s Better by Design approach. 

“At Moddex, Better by Design means continually looking for smarter, safer and more efficient ways to solve project challenges. FlatBal™ is a great example of that thinking in action. It gives customers the architectural look they want, with the systemised performance, compliance and support they need.” 

With FlatBal™, Moddex continues to set a new benchmark for modular balustrade systems in Australia, delivering a solution that is refined in appearance, practical to install and engineered for confidence.
