Tips: To get an idea how the numbers you
are thinking about using can be seen from the street or by passing vehicles,
try using your computer's printer to print them on cardstock or
paper. Cut them out and use some tape to position them where you are
considering. You may find that you need to move them so they are not
hidden by a tree, another part of your house or you may find that you want them to be
bigger.
Numbers should be at least three or four
inches tall. If they are not lit then make sure they are covered with a
reflective material so they will be lit up by passing
headlights. You sure do want the police or fire dept to be able to
see them easily if ever needed.
Avoid hard to read or script fonts. Script
house numbers drive people crazy when they are looking for an address.
And remember that if you put house numbers on
your front door that a storm or screen door might cover them later.
