A house number is simply the number of your home, usually found on the facade or near the front door. Without house numbers, it would be difficult for anyone to find your home, which is not convenient if you are expecting a package or need to call for an ambulance!
In the UK, local councils assign house numbers. Typically, the numbers run in order, but there can be exceptions. Importantly, you’re required to display your house number clearly.
For house numbers, acrylic, or ACP (Aluminium Composite Panels)/Dibond® sheets are top choices. They are long-lasting, weather-resistant, and versatile. At Plasticsheetsshop, we have these materials to create your perfect house number.
You may know acrylic by other names such as Perspex®. It’s extremely versatile and perfect for house numbers. Here are the key points:
Acrylic is a favourite for house numbers because it is so adaptable. You can easily customise it and bend it into various shapes, allowing for very creative designs. Since it’s UV-resistant, your house number will remain beautiful for years.
ACP, also known as Dibond®, consists of two thin aluminium sheets with a plastic core. This makes it perfect for house numbers:
ACP is ideal for a modern, sleek look. It can be mounted outdoors and remains perfectly straight. The brushed aluminium appearance gives your house number a little extra flair.
