What the AI looks for in Address Plaques
- Character height on the plaque
- Characters themselves, not the plaque, should be at least 4 in high where the fire code applies. Large plaques often use small characters that fail legibility rules.
- Plaque material
- Prefer cast aluminum or solid metal with a baked or powder-coated finish. Avoid thin resin or foam lookalikes. Cast metal resists cracking, fading and warping in sun and frost.
- Line count vs. size
- Adding a street name on a second line shrinks the number unless you size the plaque up. The number is what responders look for, so keep it dominant.
- Mounting format
- Choose wall, lawn-stake or mailbox mount based on where the plaque will be visible from the street. A plaque hidden under a porch or behind shrubs defeats the purpose.
Brands that matter
- Whitehall Products: Cast aluminum custom plaques and mailbox and lawn markers.
- Montague Metal Products: Custom aluminum plaques in many layouts.
What to avoid
- Plaques where the number shares space with decorative motifs that shrink the digits.
- Painted wood plaques for sun-exposed walls.
- Unbranded solar lighted plaques with no stated weather rating.
