House numbers help visitors, couriers and neighbors find the right door. They come as single metal characters you place yourself, as signs with built-in lighting, and as plaques with reflective faces. Where you mount them decides which type fits.
The six options here cover stainless steel and aluminum characters, two small solar lighted signs, a reflective plastic plaque and a tall solar sign on a stake. Sizes, materials and features come from each product’s listing page. We have not used these products ourselves. Claims about weather resistance, brightness and run time are the makers’ own.
