EDEN CASTING & FINISHING FACILITY

In an effort to create the “ultimate mailbox”, Postal Vault Systems and Horizons Display have come together to form and create new and exciting facades that can decorate the outside of any Postal Vault unit giving them a rich and decorative look that will leave your neighbors green with envy.

Postal Vault Images are decorative facades made of a durable yet light weight material, simulating the look and feel of cast stone or brick. With minimal installation effort, they can be installed around any Postal Vault or Delivery Vault manufactured exclusively by PVS. The facades will allow for individualized designs as elaborate or as simple as desired, with the capability to match existing brick or stucco, creating a look of cast stone or one of bronze, pewter or brushed brass (see Luminore info below) for exquisite taste.

This cooperative effort on the part of PVS and Horizon Displays has created an exciting new facility and working opportunity for the city of Eden, Texas bringing both jobs and opportunities that will enhance America’s curbside Postal Vault Mail Systems throughout the country. This is the philosophy of Postal Vault and their vision in action; a partnership involving Horizons Display, Inc., The City of Eden, Concho County, and the State of Texas ~ making a difference in lives. This opportunity is exciting and beneficial for the individuals, the companies, the community and the state.

EZ Facades are unique and creative designs made exclusively for Postal Vault® and Delivery Vault series of secure mailboxes. They are lightweight, easily installed and allows you to add your own personal touch to your new Postal Vault. Available in Stucco, Granite Style or Luminore Metal Coatings.

What is Luminore?

Luminore is a patented metalizing process that seamlessly applies cold sprayable metal to almost any surface. Available in 8 metals: Aluminum, Brass, Bronze, Copper, Iron, Nickel-Silver, Stainless Steel and X-metal; Luminore is applied using HVLP(high volume, low-pressure) spray equipment. Recent innovations have allowed LuminOre to also offer a Castable Metal line.

Who uses Luminore?

The Warner Brothers® Store in Times Square has Luminore Nickel-Silver on three statues, situated outdoors in New York City: Two eight-foot tall Bugs and Babs Bunny statues, and one oversized Daffy Duck.
