Frequently asked questions
What size house numbers should I specify for a residential façade?
Numerals between 4 and 6 inches in height are typical for residential entryways visible from the street, while 8 inches and above are standard for commercial buildings or longer setbacks. Casson Hardware lists exact heights on every product page to support precise specification.

Solid brass, stainless steel, and powder-coated aluminum are the most weather-stable options for Canadian conditions. Casson Hardware confirms material composition and exterior suitability on each product page so architects can specify with confidence.
