Reflective house number signs, those metal reflective address signs have proven to be a prudent purchase for homeowners who live on dark streets and rural roads. Without them residents run the risk of not being assisted by emergency services in a timely manner due to standard address numbers not be visible from a distance at night.

Featuring 3" to 4" white reflective numbers there are three sign colors typically available from 911 emergency sign sellers. These mailbox post mounted reflective house number signs are available in three primary colors with white reflective numbers. They are green, blue and black.

Reflective House Number Sign Sizes

The typical reflective address signs are double sided and measure approximately 20" x 6" mounted to the mailbox post in a manner to expose the numbers on both sides of the sign but protrudes from the mailbox post can be damaged.

However some sellers offer a competitively priced option which includes two single sided signs that mount flush on the mailbox post for protection. These house number signs are approximately 19.5" x 3.5"

Reflective House Number Sign Colors

Green reflective house numbers signs are by far away the most popular. While the numbers are not the most visible in comparison to the other options, green has been adopted by many rural fire stations and municipalities and townships due the color green being the same as that used for street signs, called engineer green.

Blue reflective house number signs have more readability owing to the contrast between the blue color and the white numbers, are popular with counties and town because in rural areas they help indicate which homes are in which county.

Lastly, black reflective house address signs offer the most brilliance and offer the most readability from a further distance than the other two color options.

Choosing a sign might ultimately be determined by aesthetics or ordinances within a community or county but either of the above choices is better than the standard non visible at night house address numbers.

In closing although today's technology offers 911 emergency response teams the ability to use GPS, many emergency service providers do not possess this invaluable equipment as yet, and still rely on traditional methods of determining locations. Reflective house number signs are a very easy way to provide your family and home an extra measure of safety.
