You get a 4-inch number and a 1.75-inch street name on the Penbrook Extra Grande 2-line wall plaque. Line one holds up to five characters, and line two holds up to 14. That second line is taller than on most two-line signs, which makes the street name readable from the road rather than just from the walkway.

How it’s made

The Penbrook Extra Grande 2-line wall plaque is cast in the USA from recycled aluminum, a metal that won’t rust. Both lines are cast with the ornate border as a single piece, so the text is as durable as the plaque itself. A protective all-weather coating is applied over the casting and is backed by a five-year warranty.

Color choices

Forged Copper, Black/Gold, Bronze Verdigris, and Bronze/Gold are available. The photo shows “926 ASHLEY AVENUE” in gold on black. Gold on black gives the strongest contrast for the street name. If your exterior is dark, consider Bronze/Gold or Forged Copper so the plaque stands apart from the wall behind it.

Entering text on the Penbrook Extra Grande 2-line wall plaque

Use line one for the house number. Line two is limited to 14 characters including spaces, so “Ashley Avenue” fits but a longer name may need “Ave.” Check whether your street name clears the limit before you settle on the layout. Then proofread both lines, because a cast plaque can’t be changed, cancelled, or returned once ordered.

If you’d prefer the number alone, the Penbrook Extra Grande 1-line version gives it to you at 5.5 inches. Every two-line pattern that mounts to the house is under wall-mounted address plaques, and the personalized plaques category includes other styles with room for a name or a date. For a street name you can read from the car, the Penbrook Extra Grande 2-line wall plaque is a strong choice.
