Tired of the dreary stick on address numbers that tend to age with the
weather and fall to the ground leaving your physical homes address different
from the phone book listing? Adding vertical plaques to any style domain
creates a lovely curbside appeal in contrast to drab glued on numbers that
make a home appear outdated and archaic. Vertical plaques are a great way to
bring out your personality and turn an introverted domicile into a charming
witty site.
Vertical address plaques have been around for a long time, but their use has
changed quite a bit since earlier times. In the past, plaques were used to
advertise one’s business or profession. Most of these plaques were made out
of brass or copper and the cost of buying them was relatively high for the
average consumer. For this reason, many plaques were used only by the
wealthy to display the family name or a high-level profession. Iron, which
is cheaper, was occasionally used during this time, but came with the
baggage of weathering problems, such as rusting and decay, which would lead
to a washed out look even on a sunny day.
Luckily, technology has advanced tremendously since those days and now
vertical address plaques are made out of cast stone and metal, both of which are
more affordable to the consumer and offer a beautiful elegance to your home.
Vertical plaques are wonderful for decorating the outside of your home.
These plaques not only identify your address, but could also be used to
display the family name. Address identification is an important safety
benefit because vertical plaques clearly mark your address in case emergency
vehicles are trying to locate your home.
