The King of Signs – Embossed Oak House Sign

Few things says "Welcome" better than a beautiful oak house number sign.   This gorgeous solid oak street and house number sign embodies quiet luxury.  The characters are embossed rather than engraved or applied, for unmatched elegance and durability.  The traditional shape is inspired by vintage street signs.  With its dense grain, reassuring weight and natural resistance to our weather, oak is the quintessential material of the British Isles.  Additionally, oak's sustainable sourcing practices make it a favourite for those who care about the environment.   

Finish: Finished with three coats of satin weatherproof varnish, your sign is built to endure the seasons with grace.

This sign can be customised to your requirements, business or domestic, whether it reads ‘Deliveries’, ‘Rose Cottage’, or ‘Library’, this quality signage will enhance your home or business kerb appeal.

Frequently Asked Questions

What material is this house sign made from?
This house sign is made from high‑quality solid oak, chosen for its durability, natural grain, and ability to weather gently over time. Solid oak offers both strength and a classic finish that suits traditional and contemporary homes.

Can this sign be used outdoors?
Yes. The solid oak house sign is suitable for outdoor use. However, like all natural wood products, it benefits from appropriate care. We pre‑finish the sign to improve its weather resistance, but regular maintenance (such as occasional oiling or sealing) will prolong its appearance and performance in changing weather conditions.

How should I install the house sign?
We recommend using suitable exterior‑grade screws and wall plugs that match your wall material (brick, masonry, wood, etc.). If your wall requires special anchors, please choose those accordingly. For best results, mount the sign at eye level and ensure it is level before tightening fixings.

Does the sign come with fixings included?
Fixings are not included with the sign. This allows you to select the appropriate fasteners for your specific wall type. If you need recommendations for suitable outdoor screws or anchors, we are happy to advise.

How do I care for my oak house sign?
To maintain its appearance, gently clean the sign with a soft cloth and mild detergent if necessary. If the wood begins to look dry or dull, apply a food‑safe wood oil or outdoor finish suitable for oak. Regular care will help preserve the natural grain and protect the sign outdoors.

Will the colour of the oak change over time?
Yes. Solid oak will naturally age and develop a slightly richer tone when exposed to the elements. This change, often called a patina, enhances the character of the wood. If you prefer to maintain the original look longer, regular oiling or sealing will slow the change.

Can I customise the text or size of the house sign?
