An office building receives mail every day for multiple departments, tenants or companies. The mailbox then becomes part of the entrance hall, not just a box on the facade. With the WALL and the Maximus there are models that suit a commercial building both technically and visually.
In a home, the mailbox is a personal element. In an office building or commercial building, it is a shared system: mail arrives for different names, there is often a reception or mailroom, and the box is in a place where visitors and employees pass by. That calls for a model that can handle volume, stays neat in a public space and fits the architecture of the entrance.
Placement differs too. Where a home often has one mailbox at the street side, commercial buildings more often show a row of boxes side by side, built into a wall or freestanding on a base. A mailbox block, in which several boxes are combined in one arrangement, is then a logical choice. This keeps the entrance clear and gives each department or tenant its own compartment.
The WALL is designed to be built into a wall or partition. As a result, in an office building it visually merges with the facade or the entrance hall: you see a sleek front, not a loose mailbox. For a commercial building where the entrance is part of the image, that is often exactly what architects and managers are looking for.
The model is made of aluminium, a material that can take a knock and requires little maintenance. The boxes are available in a wide colour palette, with more than 2000 RAL colours, so a mailbox block can be matched to the facade, the counter or the joinery. If you want a row of boxes for several departments, that can be done in the same design language and colour, without the whole becoming messy.
Where the WALL mainly disappears into the architecture, the Maximus focuses more on volume and ease of use. That is interesting for a commercial building where larger quantities of mail or parcels arrive daily. A parcel compartment is included in the models where that is provided, so smaller deliveries do not immediately have to end up in the mailroom.
For larger buildings, the Maximus can be combined in a mailbox block, so you get several compartments in one calm arrangement. A combination lock on the boxes where applicable gives users access without managing loose keys. That is practical when departments or tenants change and access needs to be adjusted. If you want to know which model best suits your building, you should look at the options for projects or ask for advice at a recognised sales point.
