The Contemporary is our flagship modelâa modern, minimalist design created to deliver outstanding visibility while enhancing your façade. Made from ACP (aluminum composite panel), a material known for its stability and durability, these floating numbers create an elegant 3D effect and are easy to install using rear threaded rods. Compatible with most exterior surfaces, they are built to withstand the elements, including UV exposure, freezeâthaw cycles, and temperature fluctuations, while maintaining their appearance season after season.
Product details
âą Integrated threaded rods
Each number and letter has threaded rods on the back, allowing for installation without visible screws and creating a clean and elegant 3D effect.
âą Font thickness
Each character is made of 1/4" (6 mm) thick ACP material. The rear spacer, which creates the floating effect, has the same thickness for a perfectly balanced look.
âą Solid anchoring
The 2" threaded rods provide a secure hold: 0.25" inserts into the spacer, leaving 1.75" of anchorage in your siding. We recommend drilling to a depth of 1.75". This system ensures a stable, durable, and perfectly aligned installation.
Durable and weather-resistant material
âą ACP architectural grade
Our numbers are made of architectural-grade ACP (aluminum composite panel), consisting of two robust aluminum sheets bonded to a polyethylene core. This multi-layered material is rigid, stable, and perfectly suited to outdoor environments. It will not rust and retains its integrity over time.
âą Resistance to the elements
ACP retains its shape despite constant exposure to the elements. It is naturally resistant to UV radiation, freezing and thawing, humidity, heat, and significant temperature fluctuations, without warping or cracking.
âą Durable finish
The surface remains clean and uniform season after season. The material does not fade and requires little maintenance: simple cleaning with mild soap is all that is needed to maintain its original appearance.
Types of installation offered
âą Standard installation
Simply drill through your paving, rock, or any other surface, then insert the rods. A complete installation kit is included: a multi-purpose drill bit (for wood, concrete, masonry, etc.), a self-adhesive level, a small marker, and a mini tube of silicone sealant. Installation is screwless. The provided positioning templates help you align the numbers straight and evenly.
âą Magnetic installation*
Ideal for steel cladding. The high-strength magnets allow for drill-free installation and easy repositioning. The magnets, screwed into the spacers, create a subtle floating effect.
*Positioning templates are not required for this type of installation.
Available characters
âą Numbers from 0 to 9
Available in three sizes: 6", 9" and 12".
âą Letters A, B, C, D, E, F and the hyphen (-)
The letters are suitable for addresses including a suffix (e.g., 123A).
The hyphen is useful for addresses containing a unit (e.g., 123-1).
Measures
âą Total size
The total space required for your address is automatically displayed below the âEnter your address numberâ field. This is a safe estimate based on the maximum width of our templates, to ensure you have enough space for installation.
âą Height of the numbers
The indicated height (6", 9", or 12") is approximate. Each number has a slightly different height to maintain the typography. It's normal if some characters appear taller or shorter when compared individually: in a complete address, the rendering is uniform and visually pleasing.
âą Line width
The line width varies depending on the format in order to maintain visual balance.
6": approximately 3/4"
9'': approximately 1''
12": approximately 1 3/8"
Easy installation
All our products are designed for quick and easy installation, regardless of the model you choose. We include positioning templates to help you perfectly align your address or sign. A complete installation kit is also provided to simplify the process.
Thanks to these tools and our clear instructions, installation becomes intuitive and accessible, even without experience. All in just a few minutes.
Available in several sizes and colors
Depending on the available space, we suggest choosing a size that will fill your facade well and remain visible from the street. Also, be sure to choose a color that contrasts with your siding. The white model can even be painted to match your home's decor.
In addition to the 6", 9" and 12" formats, the Contemporary is also offered in large formats (18'' and 24'') for more distant facades or commercial projects.

FAQ
Can I install these numbers on my type of coating?
Yes, they can be installed on most surfaces: wood, fiber cement, aluminum, masonry, stone, concrete, and steel (with the magnetic option). The drill bit included in the kit is suitable for many surfaces, but depending on your surface, a specialized drill bit may be required. These options cover the vast majority of residential installations.
Are the numbers fading?
They are made of architectural-grade ACP, a highly durable material designed for outdoor use. It will not fade or deteriorate. After several years in direct sunlight, slight fading may be normal, but the overall appearance remains stable and uniform. It is one of the most reliable materials for outdoor use.
Where should I install my address for better visibility?
For maximum readability, install your address in a clear, easily visible location from the street, ideally near a soft light source. We also suggest checking the location in the evening before installation: some lights directed straight at the numbers can accentuate the shadow created by the 3D effect and reduce readability. Diffused or lateral lighting usually provides the best results. A clear and well-lit location always ensures better visibility.
My wall surface is uneven, what should I do?
The Contemporary numbers come with 2-inch mounting rods, including 0.25 inch inserted into the rear spacer. This length is sufficient for most surfaces. However, for highly uneven materials such as fieldstone, textured masonry, natural split stone, ledge stone siding, or rocky surfaces, longer rods (3 or 4 inches) may be required to achieve the necessary depth.
This simple solution helps ensure a straight, stable, and properly aligned installation, even on the most uneven surfaces.
A practical guide to choosing the right address
Choose the right format
You need to calculate approximately 1 inch of height per 10 feet of distance to choose the ideal format, and take into account the number of digits in your civic address.
The 9'' format is perfect for a 3-digit address and remains clearly visible up to about 25 m.
The 12" is suitable for addresses with 1 or 2 digits or for facades further away (â 35 m).
The 6" is ideal for 4 or 5 digit addresses when the house is closer to the street (â 18 m). Perfect if you want to choose the right size depending on the distance between your house and the street.
Choose the right color
To maximize visibility, it's important to choose a color that contrasts clearly with your siding. Black works with most light-colored or wood siding, while white or brushed aluminum is perfect for darker facades. Ideal if you are looking for a highly visible address.
Choose the installation direction
Horizontal installation offers a modern, easy-to-read style, ideal for 4- or 5-digit addresses. Vertical installation, currently very trendy, is perfect for columns or narrower facades. The included templates allow for both types of installation: have fun experimenting to find the one that best suits your home's style and your number combination. A good choice if you want to find the direction that best highlights your address.
