A surface-mounted mailbox for facade installation is a logical choice when you do not want to, or cannot, use a built-in model. The mailbox remains visible on the wall and becomes a deliberate architectural addition. With the Fenix and Topak, there are two models designed specifically for facade installation.
A surface-mounted mailbox is fixed directly onto the facade or wall, without any intervention in the wall itself. This makes installation easier than with a built-in mailbox, which is integrated into the wall and often requires more preparation. A surface-mounted model is also suitable for facades where built-in installation is not technically desirable, for example with certain brick or insulation constructions.
In addition, a wall-mounted mailbox offers the opportunity to make the design explicitly visible. Where a built-in mailbox disappears subtly into the facade surface, a surface-mounted model is meant to be seen. That means clean lines, high-quality materials and a finish that suits both modern and classic facades.
The Fenix is a surface-mounted mailbox with a refined, linear design. The model is available in numerous RAL colours, allowing you to match the mailbox to the facade or create a subtle contrast. The Fenix is made of aluminium, which ensures a long lifespan and a well-finished appearance. Depending on the version, the Fenix can also be supplied with a combination lock, handy when you want to protect the mailbox against unwanted use.
The Topak stands out for its more robust silhouette and is also intended for wall mounting. This model offers space for a parcel compartment, so that smaller parcels do not have to be left on the pavement. The Topak is also available in several RAL colours and is made of aluminium. Both models are specifically designed to be mounted on the wall, with attention to neat installation and easy maintenance.
If you would prefer a freestanding mailbox, for example at the roadside or near a driveway, there are solutions for that too. The choice between surface-mounted, built-in or freestanding depends on the facade, the desired appearance and the practical accessibility for the postman.
When mounting a surface-mounted mailbox on the wall, it is important that the mailbox is easily accessible for the postman and that the flap continues to work smoothly. Consider the height at which you fix the model, so that you can comfortably retrieve the post yourself. For specific guidelines on the placement of mailboxes, you can contact bpost or an authorised sales point.
Mailboxes are made of aluminium and finished to withstand changing weather conditions. Regular simple maintenance, such as cleaning the flap and checking the mounting, keeps the mailbox in good condition. A combination lock, such as available on certain versions of the Fenix, offers extra ease of use and protection.
