House Numbers, Address Plaques & Signs for Small Businesses
Make your home easy to find with a house number sign designed for your property.
CATZILLA SIGNS by Quarter Cheaper Signs LTD creates custom house numbers, house address signs, and address plaques for homeowners across Metro Vancouver. We also make matching entrance signs, business nameplates, and logos for home-based businesses, shops, studios, and offices.
Choose individual acrylic or PVC numbers, CNC-cut brushed aluminum composite designs, decorative multilayer plaques, or illuminated house numbers. Metallic vinyl finishes offer additional options for gold, silver, and other metallic effects.
Each project starts with your address, a photo of the installation location, and the style you have in mind.
Types of House Numbers & House Number Signs
1. Individual House Numbers & Letters
Separate acrylic, PVC, or aluminum composite address numbers mounted onto a wall, porch column, fence, or backing panel. Arrange them horizontally or vertically and choose a font that complements your home.
**Best for:** House entrances, garages, fences, and building identification.
2. House Number Plaques & Address Plaques
A house number plaque brings your address together on a single panel. Include numbers only, or add your street name, family name, or property name. Custom address plaques can be rectangular, square, round, oval, arched, or cut into a unique shape.
**Best for:** Front doors, porches, gates, and clearly marked residential entrances.
3. Modern House Numbers
Modern house numbers use clean typography, balanced spacing, and simple shapes. Black, white, brushed composite, and metallic vinyl finishes can coordinate with your exterior details. Choose individual digits or combine them with a backing panel.
**Best for:** Contemporary homes, renovated facades, and minimalist entrances.
4. Modern Address Plaques
Modern address plaques combine a clear layout with a carefully selected material and finish. Options include a single flat panel, raised numbers, cut-through lettering, or contrasting layers. A complete street address can be included in a balanced layout.
**Best for:** Modern entrances, porch columns, fences, and home-based businesses.
5. Raised & 3D House Numbers
3D house numbers add depth through the thickness of acrylic or PVC characters, or by mounting raised numbers onto a backing panel. Dimensional lettering creates natural shadows and a stronger visual presence.
**Best for:** Architectural facades, feature walls, and distinctive entrance signs.
6. Floating House Numbers
Floating house numbers sit slightly away from the mounting surface on spacers or concealed supports. The gap creates a shadow behind each digit. Install them directly on a suitable wall or combine them with a separate panel.
**Best for:** Contemporary homes, textured surfaces, and architectural designs.
7. Multilayer House Number Signs
Multilayer signs combine panels, raised numbers, borders, and decorative elements. Contrasting acrylic, PVC, and aluminum composite layers create depth. Brushed composite faces or metallic vinyl accents provide additional finish options.
**Best for:** Personalized house number signs, decorative entrances, and coordinated home and business signage.
8. Cut-Out & Stencil Address Signs
Numbers and letters are cut through acrylic or aluminum composite so the wall or contrasting backing shows through. The digits become part of the panel itself. Stencil designs include supporting bridges where needed.
**Best for:** Fences, gates, contemporary homes, and minimalist entrance signs.
9. Acrylic House Numbers & Acrylic House Number Signs
Acrylic offers clear, frosted, coloured, and opaque finishes. Acrylic house numbers can be used individually, mounted on a panel, or incorporated into multilayer designs. Acrylic house number signs can combine printed graphics, engraving, and suitable illumination.
**Best for:** Modern address signs, colourful designs, entrance plaques, and illuminated projects.
10. Brushed Aluminum Composite House Numbers
Brushed aluminum composite panels combine a thin aluminum surface with a composite core. We CNC-cut this material into house numbers, lettering, backing panels, and decorative shapes. For added depth, brushed composite faces can be combined with thicker acrylic or PVC backing.
**Best for:** Modern house numbers, floating address numbers, layered plaques, and business signs.
11. Aluminum Composite Address Signs
Aluminum composite panels, also known as ACM or Alupanel, provide a practical base for custom address signs. Choose a brushed aluminum face, coloured panel, printed graphics, or applied vinyl lettering. Raised acrylic or PVC numbers can add another layer.
**Best for:** Outdoor address plaques, fences, gates, workshops, and small business identification.
12. Metallic Vinyl House Numbers & Signs
Metallic vinyl creates a metal-look finish on acrylic, PVC, or composite components. Depending on the film, options include brushed silver, gold, brass-look, copper-look, and other metallic effects. Apply it to a plaque or to the faces of raised numbers. If you like brass house numbers or stainless steel house numbers, ask about a suitable metal-look finish. These designs use metallic film or aluminum composite rather than solid brass or stainless steel. Exterior films are selected for the location and exposure.
**Best for:** Decorative house numbers, metallic address plaques, raised lettering, and business logos.
13. CNC-Cut & Laser-Cut House Numbers
We use CNC routing to cut aluminum composite and suitable acrylic, PVC, and wood components. Our CO2 laser cuts and engraves suitable non-metal materials, including acrylic; PVC components are CNC-cut. The method depends on material, thickness, and design.
**Best for:** Custom lettering, laser cut acrylic house numbers, CNC-cut composite signs, and detailed plaques.
14. Engraved Address Plaques
An engraved address plaque uses recessed text or artwork in suitable acrylic, engraving laminate, or wood, with optional colour filling or contrasting layers. Engraving suits traditional designs and clean modern nameplates.
**Best for:** House names, family names, door plaques, and small business identification.
15. Printed & Vinyl Lettered House Signs
Printed graphics and cut vinyl allow colour, illustrations, detailed logos, and additional information on a flat panel. This is a practical option for an affordable custom address sign or a coordinated home business sign.
**Best for:** Full-colour designs, simple address panels, and signs with business details.
16. Wood & Wood-Look Signs
Natural wood and wood-effect finishes create a warm appearance. Carved details, raised lettering, and decorative borders complement the design. Outdoor projects need a material and finish suited to exposure to rain and sunlight.
**Best for:** Cottages, garden entrances, rustic designs, and creative studios.
17. Backlit House Numbers — Halo Lighting
Backlit house numbers direct light onto the surface behind each digit, creating an illuminated outline around a solid face. Also called halo-lit numbers, this style combines dimensional lettering with a softer lighting effect.
**Best for:** Modern homes, entrance walls, and architectural address displays.
18. Front-Lit LED House Numbers
Front-lit LED house numbers illuminate through an acrylic face. The address itself lights up for a clear nighttime display. The size, brightness, and layout should suit the viewing distance and installation location.
**Best for:** Addresses viewed from the street, homes set back from the road, and business entrances.
19. Combination Front & Backlit Numbers
Combination lighting illuminates both the acrylic face and the area behind each character. This creates a bright address with a halo effect on the mounting surface.
**Best for:** Prominent entrances, bold house number signs, and distinctive business lettering.
20. Illuminated Address Plaques
Illuminated address plaques combine the number and, if required, the street name in one lighted panel. Designs can use a translucent face, illuminated cut-out details, or raised illuminated numbers.
**Best for:** Complete house addresses, driveway entrances, and compact business signs.
21. Edge-Lit Acrylic Address Signs
LED lighting enters the edge of an acrylic panel. Engraved numbers, lettering, or artwork catch the light. Components and construction are selected for the intended indoor, sheltered, or outdoor location.
**Best for:** Decorative address displays, home studios, and interior business identification.
22. LED Neon-Style Signs
Flexible LED neon follows the shape of numbers, lettering, or artwork. It can form a continuous line, script, outline, or custom logo for an expressive design.
**Best for:** Studios, cafes, salons, home bars, and creative signage.
23. Externally Illuminated House Signs
A separate fixture illuminates a non-illuminated sign. Overhead lighting, spotlights, or concealed strips highlight acrylic or PVC numbers, brushed composite faces, and layered plaques.
**Best for:** Engraved plaques, raised house numbers, and traditional entrance signs.
24. Reflective Address Signs
Reflective graphics become more visible when headlights or another light source shine onto them. They require incoming light and do not illuminate independently.
**Best for:** Roadside addresses, long driveways, and entrance markers.
25. Decorative House Numbers
Decorative house numbers can include distinctive fonts, borders, silhouettes, floral details, animals, or architectural shapes. The artwork frames the address while keeping the digits easy to recognize.
**Best for:** Character homes, garden entrances, and distinctive designs.
26. Personalized House Number Signs
A personalized house number sign can combine your address with a family name, house name, illustration, or custom motif. Choose printed graphics, raised acrylic or PVC lettering, brushed composite layers, or metallic vinyl accents. Lighting can be incorporated into a suitable design.
**Best for:** Custom homes, meaningful gifts, and coordinated entrance features.
27. Large House Numbers
Large house numbers create a stronger visual presence on wide facades and properties farther from the street. Acrylic, PVC, and composite constructions offer different depth and finish options. Contrast, placement, lighting, and viewing distance affect readability.
**Best for:** Large homes, long driveways, garages, and business buildings.
Mounting Options for Outdoor House Numbers
Wall, Porch & Door Signs
Install your address on the front wall, beside the entrance, or on a porch column. Flat panels, individual digits, raised numbers, and illuminated signs can suit these locations.
Gate & Fence Signs
Place the address at the property entrance when the house is difficult to see from the road. Gate and fence signs can include the street name or a directional arrow.
Freestanding & Post-Mounted Signs
A separate post or ground-mounted structure brings the address closer to the driveway or street. Single-sided and double-sided designs are possible.
Mailbox Numbers & Plaques
Add individual numbers, a small plaque, or vinyl graphics to a mailbox or its supporting post. Match them to your main house sign for a coordinated appearance.
Custom Signs for Small & Home-Based Businesses
A business operating from a home, studio, or compact commercial unit can use the same materials and fabrication methods as a custom house sign.
– **Business nameplates:** printed, engraved, raised, or layered entrance signs.
– **Dimensional logos:** CNC-cut acrylic, PVC, and aluminum composite elements.
– **Metallic logo finishes:** brushed composite faces or metallic vinyl applied to suitable bases.
– **Illuminated logos and lettering:** front-lit, halo-lit, or combination designs.
– **Light box signs:** illuminated panels displaying a business name and graphics.
– **Hanging and projecting signs:** single-sided or double-sided panels on a suitable bracket.
– **Window and glass door graphics:** logos, business hours, contact details, and frosted privacy graphics.
– **Reception signs:** acrylic, composite, layered, or illuminated interior branding.
– **Directional and parking signs:** entrance, customer parking, deliveries, and pickup instructions.
– **A-frames and yard signs:** portable displays for services, events, and promotions.
We can coordinate your address sign, business logo, and visitor information so the entrance looks consistent and is easy to navigate.
Choosing House Numbers for Outside
When choosing address numbers for a house, consider where visitors first need to see them.
Outdoor house numbers should contrast with their background and suit the distance from the road. A small plaque near the front door may work well for a home close to the sidewalk. A property with a long driveway may benefit from larger numbers or a separate entrance sign.
For illuminated designs, the mounting surface also matters. Halo lighting looks different on smooth siding, textured stone, and dark walls.
Send us a photo of your property, and we can help you compare the options.
How Much Do Custom House Numbers Cost?
The price of custom house number signs depends on:
– Overall size and number of digits.
– Material and finish.
– Flat, raised, floating, or multilayer construction.
– Decorative details and custom lettering.
– Lighting and power supply requirements.
– Mounting hardware and installation.
A simple printed address plaque is usually the most economical starting point. Dimensional lettering, multiple layers, and illumination add fabrication work and components.
We quote each project according to its design and installation requirements.
