Door Numbers are often an overlooked element in interior design. At first, they appear to be a small and minor detail, often dismissed as being boring or irrelevant, but at a further glance, you will see that it is quite the opposite.
Vraag Nick: Welk materiaal is het beste?
Email en acryl zijn twee van de meest voorkomende materialen, die elk een schat aan voordelen bieden. Wanneer u echter beslist waar u voor wilt gaan, is het belangrijk om precies te begrijpen naar welk type huisnummerbord u op zoek bent.
WHAT ARE ACRYLIC HOUSE SIGNS?
Een emaille bord begint zijn leven als een plaat metaal, meestal staal, die wordt gesneden en in de gewenste vorm wordt gevijld. Dit wordt vervolgens gehamerd om het een zachte welving te geven of misschien om flenzen aan de randen toe te voegen. Er worden gaten aangebracht voor de schroefverbindingen en de hoeken worden plat gehamerd. Vervolgens wordt de emailpigmentatie met grote zorg voorbereid en vervolgens op de metalen plaat gespoten voordat het in een oven wordt overgebracht waar het wordt gebakken bij temperaturen tot 820ºC. Hierdoor smelten de glasdeeltjes samen op de metalen plaat om de basislaag van kleur te creëren.

Ask Nick:
THE RESULTS?
Based on the table of qualities above, tradition beats innovation. However, it is important to consider the needs and personal style of the consumer.
PERIOD PROPERTIES:
From picture-postcard country cottages to majestic castles, each period property has a story to tell. Their facades have been witnesses to major historic events and often carry the battle scars as proof. This type of property is a constant project and any developer’s dream-come-true, especially if the period features are maintained. Often retaining, or growing in value, period property is something to be celebrated.
Indulge in the heritage of the property and customize whimsical style enamel door signs, in keeping with the colour scheme of the exterior. Not only will they be aesthetically more appropriate but the signs will also last a lifetime. This means that despite the door numbers being new, the whole style harks back to the golden age of industrialisation in the 1800s and could be considered to be an original feature (depending on the construction dates of your property).
QUIRKY HOUSE NUMBER SIGNS FOR MODERN ARCHITECTURE:
One thing that most modern buildings have in common is their lack of colour. They are a geometrical unity of white, chrome, beige, brick and black. Any deviation from this is uncommon and if done, the building is deemed to be, positively or negatively, a ‘black sheep’ by the design world. This creates two possibilities for signage - minimalism or contrast.
While an enamel house name sign is limited to the colours available in the enamel pigments, acrylic signs can be printed with almost any colour under the sun. Choosing a glossy bright, zesty coloured acrylic sign for the wall of an ultra-modern villa shows a playful personality while oozing confidence. It says ‘We take design seriously, and want to be recognised for it’.
LONG LIVE DOOR NUMBERS
A house numberis a mandatory addition to houses in many countries. But, with a wealth of designs available, you can rest assured that the door numbers you choose will add the stylish finishing touch that you desire for your property.
