Installation Instructions: House Number Signs

All Peninsula House Numbers house number signs come with a print out of installation instructions, and your installation template. We've also detailed them below if you're wanting to get prepared - or if your instructions have gone missing.

Commercial, multi-storey and elevated installations

Our signs are supplied for installation by you or your installer. We don't install, inspect sites or assess walls. If your sign is going on a commercial building, a multi-storey facade, above head height, or over a footpath, entry or other public area:

  • Use a qualified tradesperson, and follow site safety and working-at-heights requirements.
  • Your installer is responsible for confirming that the fixing method and adhesive suit the wall, the height, the exposure and the weight of the sign. The rods, spacers and adhesive we supply are designed for typical residential installations.
  • For signs mounted above head height, use the threaded rods at every fixing point. Don't rely on adhesive alone.
  • Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for temperature, cure time and load, and don't install in the rain. Adhesives have a maximum service temperature, so on sun-exposed walls, especially with dark finishes, choose one rated for the temperatures the wall surface reaches.
  • Check the sign is secure once installed, and include it in the building's routine maintenance inspections.

If your installer needs the weight of your sign, just ask us.

01

Gather sign, template, rods and spacers. Not included: spirit level, tape, epoxy adhesive [Selleys Araldite] drill and 4mm bit. Brick or concrete may require a hammer drill and 4mm masonry bit.

02

Tape template at desired location. Use a spirit level to align template. Drill holes through template at marked points using 4mm drill bit then remove template.

03

Gently hand screw rods into pre-drilled holes on back of the sign. Avoid cross threading by ensuring the rod is pointing directly in to the hole when screwing, and not at an angle.

04

If you have a contrast plate, first slide the included washers on the the rod, and then the contrast plate.

For a floating mount, slide spacers over each of the rods. Alternatively, leave the spacers off for a flush mount.

05

Apply a small amount of epoxy adhesive to the end of the exposed rods and push sign into holes. Light tapping with a hammer may be required. Take care to not scratch the face of the sign.
