House Signs: House Sign Display Advice


If you are ordering a house sign from us you will definitely benefit from reading our house sign display advice, outlined below.

If you are ordering a new house sign it is definitely worthwhile spending a little time thinking about where the sign should be displayed so that the postman, and more importantly the emergency services, will be able to locate your house with speed and ease. Believe it or not many people get so carried away with how beautiful their new house sign is that they put it up a little too hastily. Why not have a look at our top five display tips to ensure that you don’t make the same mistakes?

1)      Consider the best location for your house sign. If it winter, think about any foliage which might grow and cover your house sign during the spring and summer months. Aluminium exhibition stands UK could be the answer. You need the sign to be on the front of your house if the house is visible from the road and if not then at the edge of your property or end of the drive.
2)      Do not cover the house sign with any Christmas decorations which may get in the way of the legibility.
3)      Try to avoid any type of fancy typeface that may be difficult to read. The clearer the lettering the more likely you will get your own letters and the emergency services will be able to track you down.
4)      Avoid a house sign in brass or bronze as they become invisible at night if a light is shone on them and they tend to blend to easily with their backgrounds.
5)      Think carefully about the colours which you choose for your house sign. If the sign in the same colour as the house it will be extremely difficult to read. A light colour on a dark background is always advisable.
