It could be time to spend in address plaques if you desire your mailman to have no excuses concerning providing your message to the wrong address. At the very best of times, some postal distribution people locate it challenging delivering mail to the best addresses without clear signs. With a tailored address plaque that both stands out and also looks sophisticated, it’s going to be even more than noticeable to those that need to see it.
The house number: sometimes hidden, too discreet or often forgotten, it is really useful when giving his address to friends. There are all sizes and shapes: wood, Plexiglas, ceramic, and metal plaque. Some install it on their house, others on their mailbox, or the portal. There are very original models to buy in-store or customizable versions, to paint for example. In addition to having the choice of the model, you also often have the choice of fixing: with screws, spaced with spacers or directly glued on support.
Yes, but now, you still have not found your happiness. So why not realize your house number, fully custom and metal? Your creation, cut with the precision of the laser and sent directly to you! You can choose to cut only characters, to the desired size, to be able to fix them independently. Or you can make a plate and add all the text you want (address, last name, company name…).
So, what is the most important thing for you? Are you rather housing number or rather house plaque?
What Metal for a House Number?
A house number, it is placed outside. It is necessary to be vigilant on the chosen metal plaque to minimize the risks of rust.
Stainless Steel:
This is the metal we recommend for its strength and corrosion resistance. A little heavier than aluminum, it will be necessary to think about the fastening system (a sealant glue heavy objects is ideal). 316L stainless steel is the most resistant grade for chemical attack and corrosion. This stainless steel, suitable for marine environments, is particularly used on boats.
Aluminum:
This metal is naturally protected from rust. We advise you to go on an anodized version, a little more resistant thanks to the surface treatment.
Steel:
We strongly advise against untreated steel because it will deteriorate quickly with moisture and it would be a shame to see your achievement in poor condition. By cons, you can embark on the creation of a street number in COR-TEN, this rusty steel that forms a pretty brown-orange patina with the years.
