You can then have a backing plate in a powder coated colour for that extra colour pop. Our faceplates come in either stainless steel or aluminium powder coated and can have your street name and number cut out in a range of different fonts. Speaking of custom faceplates, we offer a selection of preset designs that can be customised to your liking. This allows you to find that perfect colour to match or compliment your home and front yard. We powder coat in house and have access to a huge range of Colorbond ® powder coat colors and can apply any of them to any letterbox.
All our letterboxes will easily allow for an A4 sheet of paper to go through the mail slot comfortably and lay flat in the bottom. If you regularly get large A4 mail, a bigger letterbox might be a better option. Size is also important depending on how much mail you expect to receive and the size of the mail. You'd be better off with a Vandal Resist or an Ultimo that aren't as imposing. For example if you are going for a freestanding letterbox, our Kooyonga is a rather big chunky letterbox and may not look at home in a particularly small front yard with a small house.
Although the sizes don't vary that drastically, it can still make a difference. The size of your letterbox can have a impact on how natural it looks in your front yard. Multibanks can either be mounted on posts in the ground or bolted onto concrete, or they can be built onto or into a wall. These are great for duplexes, businesses or unit blocks looking for a unified look to their letterboxes. Heatlie Letterboxes also offers multibank letterboxes. On the other hand if you have a brick or rendered wall out the front, a Telescopic box can be adjusted to suit the depth of the wall. Our Superior and Telescopic letterboxes can be built into just about any kind of fence or wall. Superiors are generally better for fences of any variety such as picket, tubular, sheet metal, brush and more. On the other hand you have built in letterboxes. They can be slotted into the ground, or they can be bolted onto concrete if that's your only option. Freestandingįreestanding letterboxes are ideal for yards with wide open spaces and a direct connection to the footpath. How you mount your letterbox depends on the layout of your front yard and the available space.
If you're down by the ocean you'll want stainless steel or aluminium that won't rust and corrode as badly as plain steel. Where you live has a big impact on the materials you should be looking for. This makes them extremely weather resistant and durable against rust and corrosion. At Heatlie Letterboxes we make all our letterboxes out of a high quality aluminium, which is then powder coated with a heavy duty coating in the colour of your choice. The material of your letterbox is one thing you don't have a whole lot of control over. If your house is somewhere in between, you might have the luxury of being able to choose either. While its true that a modern letterbox might do an older house some good, the opposite is generally not true. What we mean here is that the general feel and design of the letterbox should match well with your home's design and style. Heatlie Letterboxes offers both classic designs such as the Kooyonga and modern designs like the Pillar. Style is a broad term and covers a lot of the other topics explained in this post. This means keeping your letterbox visible, accessible and in good condition. These regulations usually just revolve around making life as easy as possible for the postie. Aus post posties can be fairly vigilant in enforcing their regulations, so don't get on their bad side. The first and foremost thing you need to make sure of is that any letterbox you buy adheres to the letterbox regulations of your local council and Australia Post. There's a lot to cover so let's get under way.
