Floating House Numbers | Raised & Standoff Address Numbers

Learn More About Floating House Numbers

Floating house numbers are mounted slightly away from the installation surface rather than sitting directly against the wall.

The space behind each number creates depth and natural shadow, giving the address a more dimensional architectural appearance. The final effect depends on the number size, wall gap, mounting hardware, finish and surrounding lighting.

Floating numbers are commonly used on exterior walls, entrance panels, gate columns and other visible address areas where appearance is as important as identification.

Floating Mounting & Shadow Options

The final appearance of floating house numbers depends on how far the numbers are positioned from the wall and how the rear mounting system is designed.

Wall Gap

Different spacing can create a subtle raised appearance or a stronger three-dimensional effect.

Standoff Design

Spacers, rear pins or other concealed mounting components can be selected according to the number design and required wall clearance.

Shadow Effect

A larger wall gap generally creates a more visible natural shadow, while a smaller gap provides a cleaner and more restrained appearance.

Installation Position

Stud positions and hole spacing should be confirmed before installation to keep the address aligned and evenly spaced.
