How to set a house number?
When personalizing your living space, house numbers and door signs play an essential role.
Not only do they make it easier for visitors and delivery people to locate your home, they also have the potential to create a memorable first impression of your home.
So they are not only functional, but also serve as a business card for your home.
Step 1: Set a house number
Choice of material
Before you begin, choose the material for your house number.
Metal, wood, and plastic are popular materials for house numbers and door signs . Each offers its own advantages:
- Metal : durable and sturdy.
- Wood : warm and aesthetic.
- Plastic : flexible and available in many designs.
These materials differ not only in appearance, but also in maintenance and weather resistance. At Steelmonks , you will find a variety of metal house numbers , combining elegance and durability.
Tools and preparation
Depending on the material chosen, the tools may vary, but you will generally need:
- A drill,
- Screws or nails,
- A spirit level,
- Pegs if necessary.
Measure exactly where you want to place your house number and mark the drilling points.
Fixing
Drill the holes carefully, paying attention to depth and angle.
Use a spirit level to make sure the number is straight.
Then fix the number with screws or nails, depending on the material and surface of the wall. Our Steelmonks house numbers are easy to mount thanks to our invisible fixing kit , which guarantees a clean and stable installation.
Step 2: How to change a door plate?
Remove the old plate
Start by removing the old door plate . This can be done easily by unscrewing or removing the adhesive.
Be careful not to damage the surface underneath.
Choosing a new door plate
The choice of the new door plate must take into account both the aesthetic aspect and the readability. The material and the design must harmonize with the entrance of your house.
What font size for a door sign?
Font size is crucial to ensure good readability. A minimum size of 15 mm is recommended to be read from 1 meter away. Opt for simple and clear fonts to ensure easy reading.
Fixing the new plate
Before fixing your new door plate , check if new holes are needed or if you can use the old ones. Then follow the same process as for fixing a house number.
Make sure the plate is straight for a professional result.
