A letterbox at the entrance of your home is more than a mere letterbox, it beautifies your property. From traditional to modern, there are many design choices for concrete sandstone letterboxes in Sydney, and we’ll recommend the right letterbox design for your sweet home.
Types of Concrete Letterboxes
1. Modest yet Modern
The concrete letterbox is best-suited for modern or contemporary townhouses. It comprises a flat capital that blends with the flat roof of the modern townhouses, stainless steel laser-cut address plates, and a stainless steel newspaper ring that is shared between the two houses. The same paint colour that is used to paint the property can be used to paint the letterboxes to harmonise with the look of the property.
2. Merging with the Fence
In a modern home with three dwellings, a concrete letterbox design can be built to go with the property. A pillar with a simple square design with a flat capital in place of a pointed capital to merge in, without protruding. The front dwelling’s mailbox is placed on the fence pillars and the other two dwellings behind the mail slot rest in the corner with the unit numbers on the side.
3. Sandstone Concrete
A modest square base with two or three stacked quoins makes the sandstone concrete letterbox for two or three different dwellings. It is left in its natural state of sandstone concrete. It surely makes an impression and the postman won’t miss it.
4. Stackable Quoins
Quoins are contemporary, minimalist and stack and you can build them as high as you want. However, their standard sizes are 340x340cms and 400x400cms, but they can be made in different other sizes. They stack on top of one another to combine with an existing fence or to be in harmony with the property itself. The 340x340cms quoins concrete letterbox is modest, elegant and can come with a flat capital to match the modern development with its quoin on the build itself. Typically, its large mail slots are black that harmonise with trim on the houses.
5. Minimalist, Tall & Contemporary
If there are two houses inside a single fence, then a standalone letterbox for two homes can be built in standard size by using plain pillars and a flat capital. It looks beautiful yet minimalist.
6. Framing an Entrance Way
The letterboxes can be used to frame a shared entrance of a dual dwelling. With a broader plain base and a pointed capital, they can be left in their natural state without painting them. The mail slot comprises stainless steel.
7. Intermingles with the Brush Fence
A traditional property that has two dwellings has a brush fence, which intermingles effortlessly with a heritage-style concrete letterbox. A broad base holds a longer middle shaft with a pointed capital. It offers you a clean and elegant look.
8. Pointed Capitals With Stainless Steel Mail Slots
If there are two properties attached to a dwelling, the Cambridge letterbox is also a fantastic option. Here, the arch beneath the mail slots securely accommodates the unit number and the house number is placed on the shaft.
9. Traditional Letterbox Harmonises Traditional Fence
Pillars of 230 series are traditional, compact and have a smaller footprint, which makes them perfect for smaller yards. Stackable quoins can be used to build the letterboxes for the property with multiple units.
