6 Inch Modern House Numbers- Premium Aluminum Floating Home Address Number with Exquisite Drawing Process, Silver, Number 2

I just finished installing these 6" aluminum house numbers and am very pleased with how it came out. The paper templates were a big help, allowing me me to position, measure kerning, level, re-position, get spousal approval, and then re-position one more time before installing. Following other reviewers comments about the wall anchors and past experience mounting things to brick, I swapped the supplied plastic wall anchors for 1"x1/4" lead anchors. I pre-drilled pilot holes with a 5/32" masonry bit to the full length of the support spike, and then widened the hole with a 1/4" masonry bit to the depth of the 1" lead wall anchor. I also slid on a black washer to hide the wall anchor (definitely advise doing this if you use the supplied plastic (yellow?!) wall anchors. I hammered using a traditional steel hammer and some scrap 1x4 wood to cushion the blow. It took quite a bit of hammering (maybe I should have pre-drilled with 3/16" bit?), but the numbers feel secure ... and people can now found our house.

My only complaint is that the collar on the plastic attachment inserts were too small, and the inserts where a bright color. Several times when I pushed the mounting pins in, the force caused the inserts to push in, rendering them useless. Fortunately I had some other inserts with larger collars, and was able to replace them.Because the insert collar is visible behind the number, it would be better if they were black in color.

These were recommended by a friend and this product did not disappoint. Instillation was easy and the included cardboard templates made it even easier to perfect the look. I would totally recommend to anyone who is looking to modernize their house numbers with this floating design. The end result was better than we anticipated!!My feedback, please include the drill bit size to make the appropriate size holes for installation. We used a 3/16 size drill bit, which the pegs fit into perfectly, so we did not have to use the anchors provided.

These house numbers are exactly what we had hoped for. They installed securely and without any trouble. They look excellent and so far are standing up against the elements just fine. We installed ours on a stuccoed surface, but they should work fine on wood or brick. If installing on overlapped wooden siding you might need to carefully space them off the surface. I would not install these on vinyl siding.

Each number comes with two 1.5 inch metal anchors (that screw into the floating portion of the number) and 2 plastic "dry wall" anchors. I purchased 4 numbers and some of the plastic anchors were ugly yellow (while some were white).I was installing on a 0.75 inch board that was attached to the brick on our house. I used a masonry bit to drill into the remaining 0.75 inches into the brick in order to get the anchors flush. I did not use the plastic anchors at all. I then used a clear silicone to secure them. This worked well. I also considered cutting the metal anchors down to 0.75 inches so I would not have had to drill into the brick, but didn't have access to something to cut them.

I just finished building a new house and needed to put house number on that. These numbers are sturdy, nice and modern looking and very easy to install. The shipment was fast and it they were as advertised.

I purchased 3 numbers for my address in Nov. 2019. I loved the font, color, texture, and raised style. All numbers have been installed on my house, in the same conditions since Nov. 2019. Over the last 2 months the number "3" has faded to an odd color. Due to our stucco, they were difficult to install and I am not eager to switch it out. I would like to paint it as a perfect match to the "8" and "0" but, would need the color code. No thrilled I have to figure this out.

The installation procedure is inherently error prone. I ended up hammering the number completely into the wood exterior. They should have used a allen screw based mechanism to mount it flush to the wall, instead of expecting people to hammer just the right amount.
