How do you choose the perfect house sign for your home? It’s all about what is right for you and right for your home.
Here at Slate House we have put together this really handy guide to help you choose the right house sign for your abode.
Whether you are looking for something classic, contemporary, tradtional, modern or unusual for your home we have a variety of options for you.
What Is The Best Material For A House Sign?
That truly is up to you. It all depends on what your budget is and how long you want your house sign to last for. Natural stone signs like marble, granite, limestone and slate last a lot longer than wooden house signs.
However, you also need to think of the style of the house and what house sign actually looks the best for your home.
Choose Your Style
CHOOSE FROM | OAK | WELSH SLATE HOUSE SIGNS | MARBLE | GRANITE | LIMESTONE | CAST ALUMINIUM | BRASS | PRINTED SLATE
Our most popular house sign material is Welsh Slate. Welsh Slate house signs suit a classic style home and also a modern home too. It’s a great choice as a slate house sign is not just an amazing addition to the design of your house, but also adds a touch of class.
Slate is durable, clean & easy to read, easy to fit to your home and can tolerate even the harshest weather conditions.
Welsh Slate | Did You Know?
It’s actually a well known fact within the business that Welsh slate is one of the finest quality slate in the world.
Welsh Slate is the toughest slate known to man. It has very few impurities and a beautiful colour and grain structure. Your Welsh Slate House Sign won’t fade in the sun.
Classic Style | Choose The Perfect House Sign
If you are looking for a classic finish to your house sign then our cast aluminium and brass are perfect. They are crafted from solid aluminium and solid brass and have a stylish and sleek finish.
We especially like the design on the Art Deco and Chateaux Metal House Signs. The Art Deco is very 1920’s New York. If you are looking for an old school French feel then the Chateaux is for you.
Whether you are choosing a house sign for your home or place of work, we offer a huge variety of house signs and door numbers to really give that perfect finish.
Natural Style | Rustic
Enhance the beautiful natural character of your home with our Oak House Signs. These bespoke Wooden House Signs are perfect for that rural, rustic and natural look.
We understand the importance of sustainable living and strive to be eco-friendly wherever possible. France set up sustainable forestry over 300 years ago. This is why we handcraft our wooden signs for home from French Oak as not only is it a beautiful and long-lasting wood, but sustainable too.
Unusual House Signs
If you want something a little more unusual then why not try a printed slate house sign.
These signs can really boost your kerb appeal and not only do they look great, they are easy to design and have a wide range of design options.
You can choose from lots of different icons, fonts and colours. With this much choice you will definitely be able to design your perfect house sign.
Modern House Signs
Looking for something a little more modern to suit your home, then Marble, Granite and Limestone really set the tone to the entrance of your house.
Marble, Granite & Limestone are all natural stones and are unique. They create a stunning feature to the front of your home. These modern house signs definitely have affordable style and sophistication.
How To Design Your Perfect House Sign
We have made our online design tool as simple to navigate and use as we possibly can. However, not everyone is technically confident which is why we’ve put together a ‘How To Guide’ instructional video to help you design your pefect house sign.
Where Do I Hang My House Sign?
In the UK it is a legal requirement to have a clear house sign. The best place to hang your sign is in clear view of the pavement or road. We recommend hanging your sign approximately 5 feet high. This is in eye view of the majority of people.
If you decide that you want to replace your house number with a house name then get in touch with your local council first.
How Do I Fit A House Sign?
There are two main types of fixings for house signs. These are either ‘through hole’ or ‘hidden fixings’. All of our house signs come with a fixings kit and full instructions. However, sometimes it is easier to watch someone else do it first. This is why we’ve put together these fitting videos for both styles of fixings.
Hidden Fixings Instructional Video
This instructional video is for our house signs with hidden fixings such as our Premium Welsh Slate House Signs and Oak House Signs.
Through Hole Instructional Video
Check out how easy it is to fit your house sign. This video is for our through hole house signs.
We hope that this guide has helped you choose the perfect house sign for your home.
