Custom Wooden House Name Plate

A custom wooden house name plate names a home instead of numbering it. That is a pleasant idea until you count the letters, because names are far longer than numbers.

Why length is the real constraint

The board is a fixed width. A short family name gets large, confident lettering. A long house name has to be set smaller to fit the same space.

Three ways to handle a long name

Shorten it, split it across two lines, or ask for a custom size. Custom sizes are made on request, and for a long name that is usually the best answer. See our wooden name plate range.

The material

Premium 16 mm natural wood with a smooth finished surface, laser engraved for a fade-resistant finish.

What you get with a name plate

• 12 x 3.5 inches standard
• 16 mm natural wood
• Laser engraved, indoor use
• Tabletop stand included
• Custom sizes on request

Family name or house name

A family name identifies who lives there. A house name identifies the house itself and survives the family moving out. Both are common.

Adding the number anyway

Even on a named house, keep the number somewhere on the board. Couriers and maps work on numbers. Regional designs sit in our wooden name boards India range.

Where it goes

A sheltered entrance or an indoor wall. Wooden boards are not made for exposed outdoor positions. We delete uploaded files from our system immediately after your order goes out.

Name plate questions, answered

What if our house name is long?

Ask for a custom size. The standard board is 12 x 3.5 inches, and a long name set on it will be engraved smaller than you probably want.

Can we have two lines?

Yes, with the name on one line and the number or family name on the other. Both lines will be smaller than a single line.

Can we send our own design?

Yes. Templates are available, and a fully custom design can be created for an additional charge.

Is it suitable outdoors?

No, these are indoor boards. See our wooden name plate for home range for indoor options.
