Black house number in steel, aluminium or zinc

Looking for a black house number in steel? Wijher and Lerop are made of stainless steel 304 and feel sturdy and heavy. Kemp is aluminium: light and 1 cm thick. Hattem and Merum are zinc, which can be shaped finely. All three are rust-free and stay looking good outdoors.

Where does a black house number look best?

On light brick, white or grey render and light cladding, black digits look crisp and calm. On wood and red brick they stay easy to read too, especially in the larger sizes. Black goes well with anthracite window frames, a black letterbox and black door fittings, so the front door forms one whole.

Which size of black house number?

  • 10 cmFront door, door frame, letterbox or garden gate. Merum and Kemp 10 cm.
  • 12.5–15 cmThe façade next to the front door, for a house close to the pavement. The most popular size.
  • 20 cmA façade with a front garden or driveway, so couriers can read your number from the street.
  • 30 cmA large façade, a corner house or a house further from the road. Wijher and Lerop 30 cm.

In doubt between two sizes? Choose the larger one: from the street a digit looks smaller than when you stand right in front of it.

Frequently asked questions about black house numbers

Does a black house number stay nicely black?

Yes. The matt black finish stands up to rain, frost and sun outdoors, and the material underneath is rust-free. A soft, damp cloth is all you need to keep your house number clean.

Are there black house numbers with a letter?

Yes. Hattem Black 12.5 cm has the letters A, B and C, a hyphen and a slash. Wijher Black 15 and 20 cm and Lerop Black 20 cm have the letters A, B and C.

What is the difference between floating and 3D?

A floating house number sits about 1 cm from the façade on spacers, creating a shadow line. A Lerop 3D house number is itself 3 cm thick and is fixed invisibly, so the digit stands on the façade like a solid block.

Are the fixings included?

Yes, each digit comes with what you need to mount it: threaded rods or screws, wall plugs and, where needed, spacers or an installation template.
