Address
Markers
If you're looking for an
easy, affordable way to make your home stand out from the rest, you
might consider a personalized lawn
marker
or wall
mounted address plaque
.
Not only do address markers offer an ideal way for guests and visitors
to identify your home from the street, they also give you a unique
opportunity to showcase your personality, hobbies or decorative style.
In other words, just like any other home decorating fixture, home and
lawn address markers are a way to have fun and express yourself!

Visibility
While it is important that your address
plaque
be highly visible to guests, it is essential that it be easily read by
service and emergency vehicles (post office, fire dept. etc.) When
choosing an address marker, be sure that the street name and/or numbers
are finished with weather-resistant, reflective paints. If you have an
expansive yard or an extra-large home, you'll want to ensure the address
plaque
is large enough to read from a distance. You'll also want to make sure
your marker has been designed to meet local "911" standards.
If visibility is a key factor for you, you might want to consider
purchasing a reflective or illuminated marker. These innovative plaques
provide excellent visibility during both day and evening hours. The
markers are usually battery operated and include a light sensor to
automatically turn the plaque on and off.
Personalization
When it comes to personalizing your plaque, you should, again, consider
size. Many address
plaque
are available in either one- or two-line versions. You also should
consider whether you wish to include your street name as well as your
family name.
Mounting options
Most address markers are available in either lawn
mounted
or wall
mounted
versions. Look for lawn-mounted plaques that offer stakes for
convenient set up in your grass or flowerbed. Wall-mounted plaques
should include mounting hardware that is made from rust-free materials.
Materials
As your address plaque will be spending the majority of its life
outdoors, it is crucial that it be made from rust-free materials and
finished with weather-resistant paints. This will ensure your marker
will last the test of time, as well as the life of your home.
