Motif Designs & Bespoke House Numbers

Custom house number signs are more than just practical, they’re part of the first impression your home makes.

At Atlantic Hardware, motifs aren’t just decoration – they’re personal. From traditional designs to completely bespoke creations, we make house numbers that reflect the people who live behind the door, not just the number on it.

Whether it’s a meaningful symbol, a favourite flower, or something totally unique (like the Wrexham-inspired plaque above), your house number can be as individual as your home.

Our Motif Designs

We offer a growing range of engraved motif designs, each one carefully chosen for its character, symbolism, and timeless appeal.

Completely Custom Designs Welcome

Don’t see what you’re looking for? That’s where the fun begins.

We regularly create completely bespoke designs – from football-inspired plaques to pet memorials, wedding seat plaque (this was a favourite of ours, each guest was ecstatic to take home a personal memoir from an amazing day), and one-off ideas you won’t find anywhere else.

The Wrexham design at the top of this page is just one example of how we bring personality, pride, and creativity into every plaque we make.

Why Choose Custom House Number Signs?

Choosing custom house number signs allows you to create something that feels truly personal to your home. Rather than settling for standard, mass-produced numbers, you can select materials, designs, and finishes that reflect your style and stand the test of time.

Every plaque we make is handcrafted using traditional techniques and premium materials. Whether you choose slate, chrome, granite, or a fully bespoke design, your house number is made to withstand the British weather while still looking as sharp as the day it was installed.

Perfect for Renovations, New Builds & Gifts

Custom house signs are also a thoughtful gift idea for new homeowners, family members, or special occasions. A personalised plaque adds a finishing touch that makes a property feel complete – whether it’s a modern new build or a traditional cottage.

If you’re renovating or upgrading the exterior of your home, your house number shouldn’t be an afterthought. A beautifully engraved sign pulls everything together and adds instant kerb appeal.

How to Choose House Numbers That Are Made to Last

Choosing house numbers might seem like a small detail, but the right choice can make a big difference to your home’s appearance and how easily visitors and deliveries can find you. More importantly, choosing the right material means your numbers won’t just look good on day one — they’ll still look good years down the line.

At Atlantic Hardware, we’ve been making house numbers by hand for over 35 years, and we believe quality materials make all the difference. Here’s what you should know before choosing the right house numbers for your home.

Slate House Numbers – Natural, Timeless and Tough

Slate is one of the most popular choices for house numbers, and for good reason. It’s naturally weather-resistant, doesn’t fade easily, and looks great on both modern and traditional homes.

Because slate is a natural material, every piece is slightly different, giving your house numbers a unique finish. It’s also extremely durable (perfect for the British weather) and requires very little (to no) maintenance. Making it the ideal choice for any home

If you’re looking for something that’s classic, strong, and stylish, slate house numbers are hard to beat.

Chrome House Numbers – Clean, Modern and Eye-Catching

Chrome numbers are a brilliant choice if you prefer a more modern look. Their polished finish reflects light beautifully, making them easy to read both day and night.

When paired with slate or granite, chrome numbers create a sharp contrast that helps visibility from the road. As well as looking good, chrome is also corrosion–resistant, meaning it won’t rust or discolour over time.

Granite House Numbers – Built for the Long Run

Granite is one of the toughest materials you can use for outdoor signage. It’s highly resistant to fading, chipping, and cracking, making it ideal for homes exposed to harsher weather conditions.

If you want house numbers that are as reliable as they are smart, granite is a great choice. It adds a premium finish and gives peace of mind that your sign is built to last.

Why Quality Materials Matter

It’s tempting to choose cheaper alternatives, but low-quality materials can fade, crack, or loosen in just a few years. Investing in durable materials means your house numbers will:

stay readable for longer
withstand the British weather
maintain their appearance
add lasting kerb appeal
save money in the long term

Handmade House Numbers You Can Rely On

Every set of house numbers we make is engraved by hand in our North Wales workshop using traditional machinery and techniques. We don’t mass produce – we take time over each piece to ensure it’s something you’ll be proud to display outside your home.

From natural slate to polished chrome and solid granite, our materials are chosen for one reason: they last.
