Our House Name Plate Materials

We offer an extensive range of materials so every homeowner finds their perfect finish.

Oak & Hardwood Panels

Solid oak and mahogany wood panels are hand-selected for grain consistency, then sealed with a marine-grade exterior polyurethane coating rated to withstand a minimum of 2,000 hours of salt-spray exposure per ASTM B117 testing protocols. Each panel blank is passed through a digital moisture content analyser calibrated to ASTM D4444 standard test methods for use of dielectric moisture meters before cutting, confirming equilibrium moisture content is below 12% to prevent post-installation warping a requirement specified in AWI (Architectural Woodwork Institute) Section 5 premium grade standards for exterior architectural millwork and cabinetry.

Brushed Stainless Steel

Our 316-grade marine stainless steel plates resist corrosion in coastal and high-humidity environments. Each panel is precision-cut using a waterjet abrasive cutting system for burr-free edges and perfectly aligned lettering. After cutting, all stainless panels are electrochemically passivated using a citric acid passivation bath monitored by an inline pH electrode sensor, restoring the protective chromium oxide layer and fully satisfying ASTM A967 standard practice for chemical passivation treatments for stainless steel parts for maximum corrosion resistance.

Acrylic & Glass

Frosted acrylic and tempered glass options are available with a variety of backlit LED mounting systems, creating a modern floating-panel aesthetic.

Customization Options

Every house name plate we make is unique. Choose from hundreds of fonts, sizes, and finish options.

Laser Engraving

Deep laser engraving creates a permanent, tactile impression on all wood and metal substrates. We use a CO2 laser engraving system calibrated to ISO 9001:2015 quality standards to ensure consistent depth and character spacing across every character. The laser engraving process produces particulate and VOC fume by-products that are captured through a downdraft extraction table with HEPA-filtered activated carbon media, maintaining airborne contaminant levels compliant with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.94(a) ventilation requirements for abrasive blasting and material removal operations.

Hand Painting & Gilding

For traditional and heritage properties, our artisans apply 23-karat gold leaf gilding using a water-based adhesive size, complying with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1000 permissible exposure limits for airborne gilding particulates in all indoor finishing stages. The gold leaf is applied to a prepared bole layer using a gilder’s tip brush (squirrel-hair, 80mm width), which allows single-breath transfer of full book-leaf sections without tearing a technique documented in The Gilders’ Handbook (Wiggins & Barnicoat, 2019) as the archival standard for exterior gilding.

LED Illumination

Solar-powered LED backlighting transforms your name plate into a 24-hour feature. All wiring uses IP68-rated waterproof connector assemblies, meeting NEC Article 411 requirements for low-voltage landscape lighting installations. The LED system’s photovoltaic panel output and battery storage capacity are sized using a solar irradiance calculation tool cross-referenced against NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory) PVWatts Calculator outputs for the specific installation latitude, ensuring sufficient charge reserve for a minimum 3 consecutive overcast days without recharge complying with IEC 62124 photovoltaic standalone system design verification requirements.

Installation & Mounting

Our mounting systems are designed for permanent, damage-free installation on all wall and gate surfaces.
We use a digital torque-calibrated stud anchor driver to install our proprietary stainless steel standoff mounting system. All anchor depths and spacing comply with ICC IBC Section 1604.3 structural load calculations for exterior wall-mounted signage, ensuring the installation holds in high-wind environments without damaging masonry or timber surfaces.

How It Works
Our 3-Step Process

Ordering a custom house name plate takes less than five minutes. Every plate is made to order there is no off-the-shelf inventory.

Choose Your Design

Browse our design gallery or start from scratch. Select your preferred material, font, size, and finish. Upload your house name or number text and preview your plate in our interactive configurator. Need help? Our design team will create a free digital proof within 24 hours of your enquiry.

We Craft Your Plate

Once you approve your proof, our workshop begins fabrication. Each plate is individually cut, engraved, and finished by hand. We use a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) calibrated to ISO 10360-2 verification standards to confirm dimensional accuracy on every piece before it leaves the bench. Production takes 7–10 working days for standard orders, or 3–4 weeks for specialist finishes including gold leaf gilding and multi-layer LED assemblies.

Delivery & Installation

Your finished plate is packaged in a rigid, foam-lined shipping crate designed to prevent surface damage in transit. We ship via tracked courier to all UK mainland addresses, with next-day and international options available. Every order includes a precision-drilled mounting template, stainless steel fixings, and a printed installation guide or you can book our professional fitting service.

Why Choose Get Your Name Plate

Precision-Crafted Quality

Every plate is individually fabricated in our Sacramento workshop using industrial-grade CNC routing, laser engraving, and waterjet cutting equipment. We do not resell mass-produced imports. Each piece passes through a multi-stage quality verification process using a digital coordinate measuring machine (CMM) and surface profilometer, ensuring dimensional accuracy and finish consistency that meets the tolerances specified in ISO 2768-1 general purpose linear dimension standards.

Weather-Tested & Built to Last

All exterior plates are tested and rated for long-term outdoor exposure. Our wood panels are sealed to ASTM B117 salt-spray resistance standards. Our stainless steel is passivated to ASTM A967. Our acrylic is UV-stabilised to ISO 7823-1. We stand behind every plate with a 10-year weather resistance guarantee if your plate fades, cracks, or corrodes within a decade of installation, we will replace it free of charge.

Frequently Asked Questions

What material is best for an outdoor house name plate?
It depends on your environment and aesthetic preference. For coastal and high-humidity areas, 316-grade marine stainless steel offers the highest corrosion resistance (passivated to ASTM A967). For traditional and heritage properties, solid oak sealed with marine-grade polyurethane provides warmth and natural beauty. For modern homes, UV-stabilised cast acrylic (ISO 7823-1 rated) delivers a sleek, contemporary look with optional LED backlighting. Our buying guide above includes a full material comparison table.
For properties with a standard 5–10 metre viewing distance from the pavement, we recommend a minimum character height of 75mm. For setback properties or gate-mounted plates viewed from 15 metres or more, increase to 100mm or above. Send us a photograph of your entrance and we will provide a free, no-obligation sizing recommendation within 24 hours.
Every order includes a precision-drilled mounting template, stainless steel standoff fixings, and a step-by-step printed installation guide. Position the template, mark your drill points, and secure the plate using the supplied anchors. The process takes approximately 15–20 minutes for most wall surfaces. For brick, stone, or concrete, we recommend using a masonry drill bit (6mm SDS-plus) and the supplied wall plugs. Alternatively, you can book our professional installation service at checkout.
Standard orders (engraved wood, metal, acrylic) are completed within 7–10 working days. Specialist finishes including gold leaf gilding and multi-layer LED assemblies take 3–4 weeks. Delivery is via fully tracked courier with signature required. Rush orders are available on request and contact our team for availability.
Due to the bespoke, made-to-order nature of our products, we are unable to accept returns for change of mind consistent with the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 exemption for personalised goods. However, if your plate arrives damaged or does not match your approved digital proof, we will remake and reship it at no cost. Report any issues within 48 hours of delivery with photographs.
In most cases, no. Residential house name plates and number signs are considered permitted development under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (England) Regulations 2007, provided they do not exceed 0.3 square metres in area, are not illuminated beyond domestic-scale lighting, and do not project more than 1 metre from the wall surface. However, properties in conservation areas, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), or those subject to Article 4 directions may require consent from the local planning authority. We recommend checking with your local council if you are unsure.
Most customers choose their house name, house number, or a combination of both. Popular formats include the house name alone (“Rose Cottage”), the number and street (“14 Orchard Lane”), or the name with a subtitle (“The Old Rectory Est. 1842”). If your property is in a rural area without a formal postal number, your house name serves as your primary address identifier to ensure it is clearly legible from the road for postal deliveries and emergency services access.
