House Number Sign with 3D Digits

A number you can read from afar

To be readable from the street, digits should be at least 100 mm tall. We make the 3D digits 150 mm tall — readable from about 50 metres — and the street sign 100 mm. The 3D digits stand on studs 20 mm off the wall: they cast a shadow on the facade, so the number reads even on a cloudy day.

A street sign in Ukrainian and Latin

The number, street type, name and Latin transliteration are printed in second-colour relief. A long sign comes in two parts: the seam runs between the number and the street and works as a divider. The back has keyhole slots for countersunk screws: the sign seats firmly, the wind can’t pull it off, and it only comes off when lifted by 10 mm.

The lit sign

The box has channels for an LED strip, a cable groove and a drain for condensation. The panel is printed in white PETG that diffuses light, topped with a dark mask with digit-shaped windows: by day you see white digits on dark, in the evening they glow. The 6 W strip runs from a 12 V supply or from 5 V USB; with a twilight switch the sign turns on by itself.

Limitations

• Cities require standard-issue signs on apartment blocks — our signs are for private houses, gates and flats.
• Dark PETG heats up to 60–70 °C in the sun and can soften: on a south wall use light colours or mount under a canopy.
• UV makes the plastic duller over the years — roughly 3–5 years on a south wall.
• The 3D digits are glued into the wall only with elastic sealant adhesive, not epoxy. On an insulated facade the stud must reach the masonry — tell us the insulation thickness.
