RESIDENTIAL OPTIONS
If you own a house, a bungalow, farmhouse, or an independent dwelling. Then, the nameplate should be placed at your main gate. If you own an apartment or a flat, you should put a nameplate on your door or a sidewall of your door.
CHOOSE WALL NOT DOOR
You should clear about fixing things either on wall or gate. Mostly people hard to find an answer when it comes to placing it. Because there is no underlying trend following regarding it. Few fix their nameplate on their door, or other preferred it on a wall. Well, keeping things simple, always set them on your wall.
No doubt, it’s always a good option as there is no harm related to being broken and easily accessible to first-time visitors of your home. If you fix it on a door, then fixtures are more open to becoming loose with a passage of time, and it might break after year or 2 years. Plus, its visibility would be lost if you want to open your door for a while and it makes new arrivals challenging to find your apartment
CONTRASTING COLORS
Always go for contrast while choosing nameplate. It’s the best choice as it makes the nameplate more visible to visitors. So, don’t take it for granted and consider the color of the background. And if you're opting to use glass nameplate, then make sure that lettering font would be in prominent colors. As it makes your home plate visible against a wall.
CLEAR-CUT INFORMATION
Give all relevant specific information on your address plate. Don’t use shortcuts as people mostly used to do. They mention surnames in address bar rather than writing their full names. It great fuss or confusion among new visitors, if there are multiple similar or same names, are living in adjacent houses or same street or same housing locality. So, showcasing your exact information is essential in this case, i.e., mention full name with flat numbers.
EVERY MINUTE COUNTS
House plagues must have cleared house numerals so that it will be easy to relocate house in case of emergency. Failure in appearance will hinder the response of ambulance, fire and law enforcement who may want to find an address quickly during an emergency. Similarly, if you live in off roadway and you don’t owe mailbox, then place a sign displaying your address at the end of the driveway.
Ensure that your all information is readable even from 2 or 3-foot distance. Recommended size of letters is 3 inches If your nameplate is just outside the flat. Conversely, letter size should be around 4 inches, if you owe an own house. You may ask it for each detail by contacting to nameplate maker directly or ask from National Engraver info forum while ordering.
GOOD LIGHTING
If your name or address plate is facing shadows or poor lighting, then it's not doing a good work/job. It is best to illuminate your nameplate with proper light so that, it will be visible to every pass-by. Enlighten it by using LED light as it’s an energy efficient and best lighting option for long-run. People use to go for incandescent lamps, but friendly speaking, it's not a good option. It may look cost effective on a first purchase but would fuse very early.
WEATHERPROOF
