Customers who want the street name on the house without a large plaque tend to land on the Penbrook Grande 2-line wall plaque. Line one holds up to five characters at 3 inches, and line two holds up to 14 characters at 1.25 inches. The ornate Penbrook border frames both, so the sign looks finished even on a plain wall.

Permanent lettering, no rust

The plaque is cast in the USA from recycled aluminum, which does not rust. Both lines of text are cast into it, not stuck on, so they won’t peel or fade separately from the plaque. A protective all-weather coating covers the surface, and the finish is backed by a five-year warranty.

Finish options on the Penbrook Grande 2-line wall plaque

Forged Copper, Black/Gold, Bronze Verdigris, or Bronze/Gold. The photo shows “492” over “Rowe Boulevard” in gold lettering on a bronze background. With a 1.25-inch second line, strong contrast helps, so Black/Gold is the usual recommendation for a plaque meant to be read from the street. The warmer finishes work well closer to the door.

Fitting the street name

Fourteen characters, including spaces, is the limit on line two. “Rowe Boulevard” is exactly 14. A longer name will need a standard abbreviation such as “Blvd.” Keep the house number on line one, where the 3-inch characters belong. Before you order, read both lines back. The Penbrook Grande 2-line wall plaque is cast to your wording and can’t be changed, cancelled, or returned once the order is placed.

For a larger version with a 4-inch number and a 1.75-inch street line, see the Penbrook Extra Grande 2-line. Both are listed with every other wall style under wall-mounted address plaques. If you’d like the same two lines on a stake by the driveway, start with lawn address plaques, though on the house the Penbrook Grande 2-line wall plaque is the neater fit.
