Commercial Postboxes Explained..




Commercial Postboxes are defined as letterboxes that can be banked together to form a multi-occupancy mailbox system. Typically they are either landscape (horizontal) or portrait (vertical) in style, each has it's own benefits and depends on your specific requirements. Next, consider whether you would like to retrieve your mail from the front of the box or the rear, this will often be determined by your choice of mounting the mail box unit. These options include surface mounting, through the wall fixing or free standing post box units which are installed on a stand.

These postboxes are available as individual mail boxes, alternatively they can be supplied as a complete bank of multi-occupancy letterboxes. For the DIY enthusiast these post boxes can simply be mounted onto a wall individually butted up against each other to form a mailbox unit, each box comes with wall fixings. These boxes can be bolted together or simply riveted, they are all made from powder coated galvanised steel and are suitable for installing outside.

Through the wall postbox mail chutes are a great way to receive your mail through a solid structure. These mail chutes are often used where a house or business has a secure perimeter fence or wall and there seems little point in opening that up just to receive your post so a mail chute can be built into a wall, it is possible to retro-fit these mail chutes but we would advise getting a quote from a builder before you purchase your mail chute.
