Many homeowners don’t give a second thought about the type of mailbox they install at their residence. But they should. Choosing the right material and style of mailbox can give your home a certain je ne sais quoi. These custom mailboxes can be made with a variety of materials. And the two most common materials used are cast iron and cast aluminum. Each of these comes with its own set of benefits! That’s why we want to help you understand the difference between the two. Brian’s Furniture has one of the largest selections of mailboxes in the South. Find your own today.

Cast Iron & Steel

Steel mailboxes tend to be very sturdy, which is one reason they work well outdoors. And they’re quite durable, so they tend to last for a long time. Using steel in construction comes with certain drawbacks. And these mailboxes show signs of wear and tear quicker than cast aluminum. Cast iron and steel mailboxes both tend to rust after being exposed to the elements for an extended period of time. And that means more mailbox maintenance. While steel mailboxes will indeed last a long time, they tend to look quite worn after a couple of years.

Cast Aluminum Mailboxes

If you love the style and detail that can be achieved by cast-iron mailboxes, you’re going to be blown away by our selection of cast aluminum mailboxes. Cast aluminum mailboxes are more lightweight than their iron counterparts. And aluminum is also highly malleable, so aluminum mailboxes come in varying shapes, some with very intricate designs. In Louisiana, we are no strangers to humidity. Cast aluminum is an option for homes located in the south as it’s less prone to rust.
