Solid brass house numbers and letters (if needed) are a great way to complete any entryway set for your home or business
. The use of numbers for individual buildings or residences was created so that it would be easier to locate a particular place. Although the systems vary throughout the United States (rural areas versus major cities), most streets and blocks have a specific number range with odd numbered buildings on one side of the road and even numbered buildings on the other. The numbers combined with the street comprise the complete address of the building. Using a high quality material is important for all home hardware but is especially true for exterior hardware that will be exposed to weather and frequent use. Solid brass hardware is extremely durable and will resist natural wear and tear over time much better than other thinner metals. Depending on the finishes of your door knobs, knockers or doorbell you can coordinate your new house numbers with your other hardware to create a unified theme. Creating a coordinating entryway set is an easy way to update the look of your home. House numbers should stand out against the surface they are installed on so they can be clearly seen from the street. Most house numbers can be easily installed with two or three small wood screws (installing house numbers on other materials like metal may require additional hardware). The front door is a focal point of your home so update older and worn doorknobs, kick plates and doorbells (or knockers) with matching finishes and coordinating patterns. Solid brass house numbers are a great way to increase the visibility of your address and update the look of your home with an elegant touch.
