Once you have purchased your custom made house sign ready to display on your pride and joy, you may be in a quandary as to how to attach your new house sign, especially if you are not a DIY expert.
After carrying out some research I found that there are several methods you can choose from. It is worth considering this issue a little as you do not wish to run the risk of spoiling your beautiful new house sign. Listed below are the different methods you can use-
Fixing with Screws
This is the most commonly used method of fixing a house sign or house number and probably the simplest. There are however a couple of things that should be taken into account which you may not have considered. You must not use a ordinary screw as this will corrode very quickly, brass coated screws will eventually corrode and galvanised screws will rust if there coating is scratched which invariably it will be. It is best to opt for either a solid brass screw or preferably a stainless steel screw. The other point to consider is your very nice house sign come crashing down and many materials such as stone, slate and marble will stain. So do not take the risk in not fitting the correct screw.

House Sign built into wall
Many houses have their signs built into their stone or brick walls, if you choose this option you must remember to tell your sign maker that you do not want your sign drilled. If your sign is going to be made from Yorkstone or Marble you need to make sure that clean washed sand is used to prevent staining.

Hidden fixings
The first problem with this option is that you cannot normal get hidden fixings unless your sign is 20mm or more thick and you must if your sign is suitable for hidden fixings when purchasing your house sign.

Gluing your House Sign to a wall
This is only a option for lighter House Signs but most modern house signs are actually quite suitable for using with adhesive. Just be sure to check the adhesive is for external use. The adhesives that are available now are fantastic you can use any of the silicon or gunned fixed types.
