House pillar numbers are very previlant within London. they come in several forms, with the numbers being either on portico pillars or front gate/entrance pillars. Traditional Signs of London pride in painting these by hand & to clients wishes for the typeface or by producing very traditional & sympathetic typefaces for the age of the properties.

With this project the clients came with a sizing & typeface requested by an architect. The typeface was produced on a paper layout prior to being on site. The surface of the pillar at this residence was freshly renovated & had a stippled paint finish. This is more technical to paint, but also better to produce by hand painted method, rather than attempt to stencil or similar.
.
The drawing once produced to the correct size, typeface & kerning (spacing between the numbers), is taken to site & reliefed onto the pillar by measuring into place, ensuring its at the correct height, but also importantly, level, otherwise it would look awful if not quite upright.

Its vital that the signwriting of house pillar numbers is well placed & also painted neatly as its quite visual & if not produced well can affect the overall look of the property. When dealing with properties, its important in Traditional Signs of London’s view that the execution of the property numbers is top notch, as it is one of the first things seen on a property that a client is very proud of.

The surface made for more time consuming & more skill in executing a neat house pillar numbers but this is the advantage hand painted signwriting has over other methods. The finished result is just what the client requested & it makes for a very smart finish to a very beautiful home.
