A custom mailbox starts with the place where it will be mounted or installed, not with a standard size. This guide shows aluminium models such as the WALL and the Nexus Ensemble, matched to a facade, entrance hall or apartment building. That way, a custom mailbox becomes not a search for something that happens to fit, but a deliberate choice.
With a custom mailbox, you first look at the context: is there a recess in the wall, a smooth plastered surface, a metal fence or a row of mailboxes in an entrance hall? The WALL is designed to be mounted flat against a wall and looks calm next to stone, concrete or wood. The Nexus Ensemble goes a step further and combines several mailboxes into a sleek whole, which above all in apartment buildings determines the look and the logic of the entrance hall.
Because both models are made of aluminium, they remain visually light and resistant to wind and weather. Aluminium can also be finished precisely, which helps when a custom mailbox has to align with existing facade profiles or with the colour of windows and doors. Would you rather talk through the possibilities first? Ask for advice at an authorised sales point, they will assess the situation on site.
A custom mailbox is not just a matter of dimensions. The WALL and the Nexus Ensemble can be supplied in a wide range of RAL colours, so that the mailbox blends into the facade or becomes a subtle accent. Think of a shade that returns in the front door, the garage door or the window profiles. For apartments, unity is important: the Nexus Ensemble keeps the row of mailboxes clear and recognisable per resident.
Ease of use is part of that. A parcel compartment or combination lock is not a given on every model, so discuss which options are available on the WALL or the Nexus Ensemble and whether they suit your use. That way you avoid compromises later and the custom mailbox remains logical in daily use too.
For the installation of a custom mailbox there are practical and legal points to consider: the height of the slot, accessibility for the postman and the distance to the public road. Exact regulations differ per municipality and per situation. Ask bpost or an authorised sales point for information, they know the applicable guidelines for your address.
Installation also requires preparation. With the WALL, think of a flat, load-bearing surface and the space needed to open and empty the mailbox. With the Nexus Ensemble, the layout of the entrance hall plays a role: sufficient passage, a logical order per resident and a place where the postman can operate everything in one movement. Good preparation turns a custom mailbox into a solution that lasts for years.
