Address signs typically fall into two categories: <\/span><strong>individual letter (or number)-based designs, and plaque-based designs.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Letter-based signs often provide a modern and sleek look, with individual characters mounted directly to surfaces like brick or wood. They\u2019re versatile and allow for unique layouts but require more precise installation. Plaque-based signs, on the other hand, offer a classic and cohesive aesthetic, with house numbers or names embedded onto a single panel. While easier to install, plaques may be less customizable in shape and layout compared to letters. Each method has its own charm and practicality, depending on the style and functionality you\u2019re aiming for.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From aluminum to bronze, the right materials and design can make your property more inviting and easier to find.

For commercial properties, visibility starts with proper placement. Signs mounted with setbacks of 10-80 feet should use larger letter heights to remain readable, with professional mounting to make sure they\u2019re securely positioned.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contrast is another important factor here. Pair materials like bronze with light limestone or brushed aluminum with glass facades to create an eye-catching display that stands out. And, as we said above, adding backlighting can further enhance visibility!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s also worth mentioning that different environments demand different materials. Coastal properties should choose rust-resistant finishes, while high-UV areas benefit from durable coatings that prevent fading. To meet commercial codes, consider minimum letter heights and precise mounting locations for compliance and functionality.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Collaborating with architects or facilities teams can make a big difference. They\u2019ll help make sure your sign not only meets visibility standards but also complements the overall design!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"design-your-custom-address-display-today-with-impact-signs\"><strong>Design your custom address display today with Impact Signs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An address display should be more than just a sign.
