Mailbox Models
Stainless Steel, Anthracite, Aluminium & Design Mailboxes
Every Helvabox mailbox is custom-made in our Swiss workshop. Rather than a fixed catalogue, we offer a combination of materials and installation types for your project, all without exception compliant with postal standards.
By Material and Finish
The material determines the lifespan, maintenance, and aesthetic of your mailbox. We'll choose together based on its exposure and your facade style.
Brushed Stainless Steel
Brushed stainless steel is the high-end classic. Impervious to corrosion, it withstands Lake Geneva's spray and high-altitude winters, maintaining its lustre without maintenance. Its matte, finely striated surface hides fingerprints and ages elegantly. It's the choice for longevity: a stainless steel mailbox lasts decades without rusting.
Ideal for: Lakeside, exposed areas, premium projects with timeless design.
Anthracite Steel RAL 7016
Anthracite (RAL 7016) is the most sought-after shade in contemporary architecture. Applied by powder coating on steel, it blends seamlessly with mineral facades, grey renders, and dark joinery. Deep without being black, it suits both a modern villa and a block of flats. The powder-coated layer durably protects the metal from the elements.
Ideal for: Contemporary homes and buildings, harmony with dark shutters and gates.
Powder-Coated Aluminium
Powder-coated aluminium combines lightness and durability, available in the full RAL palette. Deep black, pure white, a shade to match your shutters or front door: we align with your architecture. Aluminium does not rust, and powder coating offers a uniform, UV-resistant finish that won't chalk in the sun.
Ideal for: Projects requiring a precise colour or a lightweight, wall-mounted box.
Bespoke Design and Finishes
Beyond standard finishes, we create mailboxes with specific designs: integrated label holders, clean lines, integration into a totem or low wall, or a combination of two materials. Customisation allows for a designer mailbox that becomes an architectural element in its own right, without ever sacrificing postal compliance.
Ideal for: Architects, character projects, seeking a unique piece.
By Installation Type
Recessed, freestanding, or wall-mounted: the type depends on your location and property boundary. The slot always faces the street, as required by postal standards.
Recessed Mailbox
Integrated into a low wall, fence wall, or gate masonry, the recessed mailbox blends into the building's envelope. The slot faces the street, and mail retrieval is from within the property. Ideal for new constructions and renovated low walls, it offers the neatest finish.
Freestanding Mailbox
Placed on a post or base at the property boundary, the freestanding mailbox is essential when there's no wall or gate immediately near the road. It's securely fixed, slot facing the street, at an accessible height. This is the most common solution for villas with set-back gardens.
Wall-Mounted Mailbox
Fixed directly onto an existing facade, pillar, or gate, the wall-mounted mailbox requires no major construction. Lightweight in aluminium or robust in stainless steel, it suits renovations and quick replacements, where the location at the property boundary allows.
Add a parcel compartment: Receive your packages when you're away. We add a parcel locker matching your mailbox, in the same stainless steel, anthracite, or aluminium finish, for a coherent ensemble. Discover the parcel box โ
