Letterboxes
- Letterboxes are a crucial part of any home. They need to be robust and reliable, functional for mail delivery every day and create a positive first impression for people as they visit your home. They need to clearly display your house number while matching your home’s overall aesthetic. ArchiPro features a great range of high quality letterboxes from trusted suppliers across Australia.
ArchiPro’s range of landscaping products includes stylish letterboxes supplied by the best designers in Australia. There’s sure to be something for everyone, whether you like the sleek sophistication of modern letterboxes or the convenience of wall-mounted letterboxes. Traditional and Victorian types will suit older homes, while some prefer a simple mail slot. They are a focal point for a home’s entrance, so you want to be sure the choice you make is the right one.
Post-mounted
Post-mounted letterboxes stand at the end of a driveway. These are usually the first thing people see when they arrive at your home and are the most commont type in Australia.
Wall-mounted
Wall-mounted letterboxes are directly attached to the side of your home, generally next to the door, eliminating the need to cross the lawn to fetch mail.
Mail slots
Mail slots are a simplified way of receiving mail, popular in urban settings. Instead of a separate structure, the mail slot is installed in the front door.
Fence letterbox
This type is installed into fences for a contemporary, stylish look. If you’re wanting extra security, this is a great option to consider and very popular in Australia.
The advantages of high-quality letterboxes
Mailboxes have evolved over time with modern design into stylish structures, yet retain the same practical function. High-quality letterboxes add a unique stylistic touch to the home while blending in with the architecture. They also keep your letters secure from weather damage, which is incredibly important as many billing and tax companies still rely on paper mailing systems. High quality designs have some great letterbox features including those for added security to keep your mail safe and secure.
How to choose a letterbox that’s right for you
With so many letterbox designs to choose from, you’re sure to find one that will fit your home. If you have a large gate, you should consider fence letterboxes. Those with small urban homes would benefit from mail slots or wall-mounted options, maximising the garden space available. Commonly, they are the same material as the house cladding i.e. wooden letterboxes to match wooden homes. In terms of colour black letterboxes and white letterboxes are simple, chic options for modern homes.
