Having been in the sign-making industry for nearly twenty-five years, we know that summer is the season for home improvements. While many spruce up their home interiors with paint and soft furnishings, we're curious to know if you've considered reimagining your home exterior with a personalised house sign. If not, or not for a while, then this blog has been written for you!
A house sign can work wonders for your home by bridging practicality and aesthetics. Reimagining your home exterior is one of the freshest ways to elevate the appearance of your home - so allow us to share just some of the signage types we offer at The Sign Maker.
Wooden House Signs
For those who would prefer a natural-looking sign, our range of wooden house signs incorporates a wonderful range of quality timbers. While each timber possesses distinctive qualities that set it apart from its rivals, wooden signage (on the whole) exudes a sense of authenticity and character. The grain sings out from the sign, without distracting viewers from the sign's design, while maintaining markers of strength, durability, and versatility. Our timber selection guide highlights how one timber differs from another, enabling you to see and sense the difference between Oak and Sapele or Douglas Fir and Rustic Timber.

Although some opt for a wooden sign because of their natural appearance, modernising timber signage with paint or a unique font selection can transform the look of a house sign. Using industry-quality spray painting techniques, our painted wooden house signs have an enviable finesse. These particular signs have become incredibly popular in recent years with more and more of our clients selecting bold colour schemes or our signature lichen green to enhance their signage. Quality bespoke wooden signage is hard to come by, but our carpenters have refined their process and know how to deliver impressive results.
Stone Signage
Quality stone signs can not be competed with when it comes to longevity and finesse. Practically, and aesthetically, slate is an excellent choice. With the right sign manufacturers, a slate house sign will serve you well for years to come. We often recommend a natural slate for exterior signage because of its long life expectancy and high durability. The material itself is naturally waterproof with non-fading properties; ideal for signage designed to last. Aesthetically speaking, a slate house sign can refine the appearance of your entranceway. The versatility of this material enables us to design to your specifications and craft a sign with your home in mind.
Cast Metal House Signs
Heavy-duty cast signage is a wonderful selection for a house sign. Despite their weightiness and durability, the signs can still have a delicate and decorative appearance. Cast house signs tend to lean into tradition or stray into modern design; either way, our team are on hand to ensure that your sign matches the expected finish.
Our cast metal signage can be crafted from brass, bronze, aluminium, or polyurethane - each of which has distinctive qualities that may sway your choice. Brass is the most traditional choice, although it can be modernised with a unique background colour. Bronze has a beautiful finish and would be a better choice if you're looking for something more bespoke when it comes to font selection or the inclusion of images. Aluminium is the most affordable choice amongst our range of cast metal house signs, so might be the best choice if you're a first-time home buyer. Finally, polyurethane, an extremely tough hard-wearing material, is the one to choose for intricate lettering and design flair.

Entrance Signs and Estate Signage
Our extraordinary range of entrance signage resurges in popularity throughout the summer season. While many of us can enjoy a simple sign affixed to the entranceway of our home, there is something special about an entrance sign that elevates the welcome to an estate or property.
At The Sign Maker, our entrance signs can be crafted in various sizes, styles, and colours enabling you to design a sign that works for you and your home. A house sign is the first impression that guests, visitors, and passersby will get of your property, so utilise your signage to make the desired impact. Everything from the timber to the posttops can be personalised because we champion bespoke craftsmanship. Click here to view our full range of entrance signage (although if you can't find what you're looking for, get in touch with our experienced team).
Additionally, our unusual hockey stick signs (sometimes known as verge signage) are a common choice of entrance sign for detached houses or those with a front lawn. They can be crafted to various height specifications, and designed with images, but they also have a certain genuine appeal that makes them stand out for all the right reasons.

Premium Boulders
A blog showcasing the very best of our house sign range would not be complete without mentioning our premium boulders; a sign type we love so much that we made one for ourselves for Yelland Farm. Purbeck Stone, the durable stone we use for premium boulders, is quarried in Dorset, just a stretch around the coast from our offices in Devon. The face of the stone is honed smooth for the lettering, but the rest of the stone is left in its natural state.
Given that this is the material that we chose for our signage, it is evident that we are fans of a premium boulder. A premium boulder house sign can be incorporated into a natural stone wall, or it can stand alone depending on your preference and property. If you're curious but unsure about how to make a premium boulder work as a house sign for you, contact the team today to find out more.
