How much do steel house numbers cost?

Panel designs start at R699 for the smallest AOS22 and reach R5,999 for the largest AOS16. Most designs cost between R799 and R1,299 in the smallest size and between R4,300 and R5,700 in XL. Individual digits are priced per digit, so the cost depends on how many digits your address has.

Prices are per digit. A 3-digit address in Modern Small mild steel costs 3 x R239 = R717. The same address in Modern Large brushed stainless costs 3 x R646 = R1,938. Delivery is free on orders over R2,000, and otherwise R140 in Gauteng or R160 for the rest of South Africa.

Which house number size should I choose?

Measure the wall, pillar or gate space first, then pick the largest size that leaves a margin around the plate. Digits come in 200mm, 300mm and 400mm heights. Panel designs come in three or four sizes, and a few, such as AOS6, come in two. For viewing distances and mounting advice, read the complete guide to custom house numbers in South Africa.

Should I choose black or white?

Panel designs come in black or white powder coat. Contrast matters most: black shows up best on light plaster or painted walls, and white shows up best on dark brick or dark paint. Black orders are finished in a textured Ferrograin coat.

Mild steel or brushed stainless steel?

Brushed stainless steel (1.2mm) is available on the Modern and Bold digit ranges, at a higher price than mild steel. It resists corrosion on its own, which makes it the better choice near the coast. The panel designs are powder-coated steel.

How does ordering work, and how long does it take?

Panel designs are personalised with your house number and street name, which makes them custom orders. You approve a drawing before production, with up to 3 rounds of changes at no extra cost. Production takes up to 6 weeks, depending on how quickly you approve the drawing. Custom orders cannot be cancelled or refunded once placed. Individual digits are made to order, and standard designs are produced within 2 weeks (see the shipping policy). After dispatch, courier delivery takes 1–7 working days depending on your area.
