What is the best material for a house sign?

The best material for a house sign is a natural material, such as slate stone. Recognised for its stylish appearance, slate is a natural resource that is long-lasting and suited to almost all weather conditions. As a result, slate house signs are the go-to choice for many homeowners around the world.

The difference between etched and engraved lettering

There are some big differences between etched and engraved lettering, either of which you can choose for your sign. Etched lettering uses a laser engraver to lightly mark the face of the sign, giving a more natural appearance. Whereas engraving is done by hand with a sandblaster, creating deeper grooves into the face of the slate which can be painted to fit your personal preference. You can choose which option you prefer when customizing your house sign.

Can you create a replica of my existing house sign?

Yes, we can replicate existing house signs. Send us an image of your sign at hello@thebespokesignhouse.com and let us know the size you wish to recreate a replica for you.

How big should house signs be?

The size of your house sign depends on two factors. The first is where your sign will be situated, such as at the end of a driveway or on the front wall of your home. The second factor, is how far away it will be viewed from. The readability of your size is also impacted by the font you choose and the number of characters you need to fit on your sign.

Where do you put a house sign?

House signs are commonly put at the front of the property, either on the wall next to the front door, on a wall in the front garden, or at the end of the drive. Wherever it will be most visible to anyone looking for your house.
