Placement: Center on main facade, 5-6 feet from ground level
Size: Wall sign (9.5" x 16") for balanced proportions
Craftsman & Bungalow Homes
Best Choice: Dark green cast stone with gold lettering
Why It Works: Natural colors complement craftsman emphasis on organic materials. The 3D relief echoes the handcrafted details typical of this style.
Placement: Near front porch or integrated with stone/brick elements
Size: Either wall or yard sign works well
Modern & Contemporary Homes
Best Choice: Black cast stone with clean, bold lettering
Why It Works: The robust elegance provides sophistication while the clean lines complement modern aesthetics. Impressive 3D relief adds texture without competing with architectural simplicity.
Placement: Integrated with entry features or as landscape focal point
Size: Yard sign (13.5" x 19.5") for contemporary scale
Cast Stone Benefits: The Premium Choice
Why Cast Stone Outperforms All Alternatives
Impressive 3D Relief Capability
Cast Stone: Achieves true 0.25" dimensional relief with crisp, detailed lettering that creates natural shadows and enhanced visibility.
Wood/Metal: Limited to flat surfaces or shallow engraving that lacks visual impact and emergency visibility.
Robust Elegance Design
Cast Stone: Combines sophisticated aesthetics with industrial-strength durability. Maintains elegant appearance for 50+ years.
Wood/Metal: Appearance degrades over time due to weathering, requiring regular maintenance to preserve any elegance.
Zero Maintenance Requirements
Cast Stone: Absolutely no painting, sealing, or protective treatments needed. Maintains appearance indefinitely.
Wood/Metal: Requires annual painting, rust treatment, or protective coatings. Ongoing maintenance costs add up significantly.
Weather Resistance
Cast Stone: 100% waterproof, UV-resistant, freeze-thaw stable. Performs identically in all climates.
Wood/Metal: Susceptible to rot, rust, warping, fading, and weather damage requiring replacement every 5-15 years.
