Rustic Stone House Signs
A Stone House Sign Offers Natural Beauty
to a Home’s Exterior

One way to add a natural touch to your home’s outside exterior
is to include a rustic stone house sign near the front
entranceway. A stone house sign is also a nice way to express
yourself and make a first impression to people visiting your
home. Also, unlike plastic, wood, or metal signs, stone house
signs don’t rot or rust and the letters and numbers do not
become faded or illegible over time. A rustic stone house sign
can simply include your name and/or house number, or be as
complicated to include an engraved image.

In addition, it can be made to any size, and can include
additional painted artwork on it. Also, the font style and size
can also be ordered custom.
There are a number of locations on or near the home to
incorporate a rustic stone house sign. Common locations for
incorporating a stone house sign include literally incorporating
it into the house siding or in an entranceway walkway or patio.
Alternatively a stone house sign can also be in the form of a
wall mounted stone plaque, or integrated into an old granite post.
Here in New England I’ve also seen rustic stone house signs even
incorporated into stone walls located in the front yard of a
home or near a driveway entrance. One of the stones that is used
in the construction of the stonewall is actually engraved with
either the owner’s last name or street number, or both.

When having a rustic stone house sign fabricated it’s important
to make sure that the letters are legible and made large enough
so that people can clearly read it from a distance as they
approach the house. Otherwise it loses its purpose.
When selecting a stone material there are an infinite amount of
options to choose from. Unpolished stones, such as slate stone,
are ideal as they require no maintenance once engraved and
installed.

They also hold up to any type of weather, are difficult to
remove, and offer limited to no value to anyone else.
Rustic stone house signs are also quite affordable and can be
made to match any budget, depending upon the type and size of
the stone, and the type and quantity of engraving required.
So consider adding a natural touch to the front exterior of your
home with a rustic stone house sign. They’re relatively
inexpensive, low maintenance, and provide a natural beauty not
matched by other house sign alternatives.
