About this idea
A house sign is a lasting housewarming present. Oak signs with carved or routed letters weather naturally outdoors; painted and engraved signs are popular too. Slate signs are another option.
Who it suits
New homeowners and anyone naming their house.
Ordering in time
Signs are often made to order and solid oak ones can take longer — check before a moving date.
Before you order
- Check the house name or number with the owners — and whether they actually want it on show.
- Ask whether it is treated for outdoor use.
- Check the fixings and size against the wall or gate.
