Installing Your Ivory Mylk House Number Metal Sign: A Hassle-Free Guide
Enhance the curb appeal of your home with the sleek, modern touch of steel house numbers. Our installation process ensures a secure, flat-mounted effect without the need for visible screws or drilling. Here's how to easily achieve this.
Materials Needed:
- Metal House Numbers
- Construction Adhesive (e.g., Liquid Nails) OR
- Adhesive Mounting Tape (if preferred)
Installation Steps:
1) Choose Your Location: Decide where on your home's exterior you want to display the metal house numbers.
2) Clean the Surface: Wipe the chosen area with a clean, dry cloth to remove any dust, dirt, or debris. A clean surface ensures better adhesion.
3) Apply Construction Adhesive (Liquid Nails):
a. Squeeze a small amount of construction adhesive onto the back of your new metal house number sign.
b. Spread the adhesive evenly over the back of the sign, ensuring full coverage.
4) Position and Press:
a. Carefully place the metal house numbers onto the chosen location, aligning them precisely.
b. Press firmly to ensure a strong bond between the adhesive and the surface.
5) Secure with Temporary Supports (Optional): If needed, use temporary supports (e.g., painter's tape) to hold the numbers in place while the adhesive cures. Follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for curing time.
Alternative: Adhesive Mounting Tape:
1) Cut the Tape: Measure and cut adhesive mounting tape to fit the back of each metal house number sign.
2) Apply the Tape: Peel off the backing from the adhesive tape and apply it evenly to the back of your sign.
3) Position and Press: Position the sign on the desired surface and press firmly to ensure a strong bond.
Tips:
- Ensure the surface temperature is within the recommended range for the adhesive for optimal results.
- Follow the manufacturer's instructions for both our metal house number signs and the adhesive for the best outcome.
Corten Installation Disclaimer:
During the early stages of natural Corten weathering, the rust layer may not be fully sealed, and bleed/rust run off may occur. This runoff may transfer to adjacent surfaces, particularly if the Corten product is in direct contact with them. To minimise this effect, we do recommend you avoid installation on porous or light-colored surfaces that may be susceptible to rust staining.
For precautionary measures, consider applying penetrol, available from hardware stores, to seal out moisture and minimise rust stains. Always follow recommended installation guidelines to ensure optimal performance.
Please take these factors into account when planning the installation of Corten steel products. If you have further enquiries or concerns, feel free to contact our customer service team.
Remember, the construction adhesive method is a secure, permanent solution, so choose a location wisely. Enjoy the modern and clean look of your new house number metal sign without the hassle of visible screws or drilling.
