Wall House Sign Options
House signs fixed to the wall positioned at eye level makes the sign more natural to read and guests more likely to find your address without any issues.
Lighting can also be added behind the sign which will light up your address or details on the sign to show visitors where to go at night. These lights can also be brought in different colours to keep your sign looking unique.
Installing House Signs within a Wall
Traditionally house signs are made from stone which includes Slate, Welsh Slate, Marble, Sandstone, Yorkshire Stone, granite and limestone. When using signs made from stone, you are graced with beautiful natural carvings that you can treasure for a very long time. Stone signs will last through years and many weather conditions without much maintenance.
Metal signs can look modern and traditional with personal markings etched onto them; however, metal signs need maintaining as they don’t tend to last as long in most weathers.
Metal signs are more practical to use indoors at a company for example when marking office, kitchen and toilet doors. Once your sign has been chosen, its time to install it into the wall.
The most affordable and more accessible way to do this is to use vertical bonding adhesives. Applying vertical bonding adhesive to the back and the sides of your sign will allow you to fix the sign into place with minimal effort and will hold it securely in place.
You should be aware that if your sign is up to 10kg in weight, CT1 constructive adhesive would be best to use. If the sign is 10kg to 50kg, then Power Grand n Bond adhesive would be best to use to ensure there is a firm hold on your sign.
