House numbers/signs - material!?

Thread is from 2019 and OP hasn't been back.

We took care of our house's repair for a year, and I told my wife that the last element we would install would be the house sign.

We took care of our house's repair for a year, and I told my wife that the last element we would install would be the house sign. It was not a difficult choice because I knew from the beginning that we wanted something modern without a complicated design; I just didn't know exactly what we wanted it to look like.

Thanks both. Acrylic would suit my house style more but I was sceptical as to wether an acrylic sign would be durable.

I see a lot of those clear acrylic signs around me and one weird thing is they tend to put a lamp above them... and then at night the glare on the lamp obscures the number. So dumb.

I'd suggest that you go for something fitting to the house. Nothing worse than a shiny brushed chrome sign with modern blue-tone lighting on an old house.

Personally for my 60s house I went for an oval ceramic sign and had my Mum print out a vinyl sticker on her Cricut to my personal taste (number, street name, and a bird).
