A House Number Is the First Handshake Between Your Home and the World.
Before a visitor rings the bell, before a delivery driver confirms the address, before GPS resolves to the pin — the house number has already spoken. The Threshold reimagines this quiet sentinel of curb appeal as a sculptural object. Cast in solid aluminum alloy with a deep matte black powder coat, each 15-centimeter digit floats 25 millimeters off the mounting surface on concealed stainless steel standoffs, creating a shadow gap that shifts with the angle of the sun. This is not a sticker, not a painted plaque that fades in three summers — it is an architectural hardware component that will outlast the paint on your front door.
The engineering attention flows into details most manufacturers treat as afterthoughts. The powder coating undergoes a three-stage pretreatment — alkaline degreasing, freshwater rinse, chromate conversion — before electrostatic application and oven curing at 200°C. The result is a finish with 5H pencil hardness and 1,000+ hours of salt-spray resistance, meaning it will read as crisp against a coastal villa in year five as it did on installation day. The mounting template included in every box eliminates the guesswork from alignment; a single printed guide ensures all digits sit on the same baseline within 0.5mm tolerance. You need a drill, a 6mm masonry bit, and fifteen minutes.
We designed The Threshold for the homeowner who has already invested in landscaping, facade lighting, and a statement front door — and then realizes the house number still looks like it came from a hardware store bin. It belongs on the rendered wall of a modernist concrete home, beside the timber entrance of a Scandinavian cabin, or mounted vertically on the stone pillar of a gated driveway. Available in digits 0 through 9 with period and ampersand — build any address, any orientation, any narrative.
A great entrance deserves a number that does not apologize for being seen.

Application Scenarios
The Threshold was designed for the architectural homeowner who treats every exterior element as a design decision, not an afterthought. It performs with equal authority on the rendered facade of a Brutalist-inspired concrete residence, the cedar siding of a Pacific Northwest cabin, the whitewashed stone of a Mediterranean villa, or the dark brick of a converted urban warehouse. Property developers standardizing premium estate entrances will appreciate the batch-to-batch finish consistency across dozens of digits. Interior designers specifying for hospitality projects — boutique hotels, private members' clubs, Michelin-starred restaurants — will find The Threshold reads as intentional modernist punctuation on any surface it touches.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are the screws visible after installation?
A: No. The stainless steel standoffs mount to the wall first, then the digit slides onto the standoffs and is secured with a concealed grub screw on the underside of each digit. The face remains clean and unbroken.
Q: Can I mount these on wood siding?
A: Yes. Use the included wall anchors for masonry/concrete, or substitute with appropriate wood screws (not included) for timber surfaces. The mounting distance accommodates siding profiles up to 20mm projection.
Q: Does the black fade in direct sunlight?
A: The RAL 9005 powder coat is UV-stabilized and tested to 1,000+ hours of accelerated weathering (QUV ASTM G154) — equivalent to 5+ years of equatorial sun exposure with negligible color shift.
Q: How many digits do I need to order for my address?
A: Each digit is sold individually. Count the characters in your street number (e.g., '247' = 3 digits). If your address includes a letter (e.g., '12A'), order the corresponding digit for the number and note that letter digits are available on request.
Q: Is there a template for spacing and alignment?
A: Yes. Every digit arrives with a printed mounting template showing drill points and alignment guides. Place the template, mark the holes, drill, mount the standoffs, slide the digit on — a single address takes about 15 minutes.
