Interior style and number on the front door

If we are going to attach numbers to a house or apartment, the surroundings of which breathe postmodernism and manufacturability, we should not place classic brass, zinc or metal forged numbers on the door: lack of stylistic unity is the main "symptom" of bad taste. In such a situation, unusual stylized numbers made of stainless steel or even plastic are suitable, however, plastic is not suitable for outdoor space: its heat resistance is not at the highest level.

 

Door material and correct selection of the number

Metal doors

It is not recommended to place numbers made of plastic or wood on metal doors: in this situation, the compatibility of materials is very important. On such doors, figures of a square, slightly rough shape look good - with their help, the effect of absolute reliability and closeness of the apartment is achieved.

  • Screwed numbers. To fix such a number, having previously marked the desired place, make holes with a drill with a narrow drill, substitute the number to the door, insert the screws into the number and holes and screw with a screwdriver or screwdriver.
