Gold Leaf Transom Numbers: Gilded Glass Address Numbers

Gold Leaf Transom Numbers for Your Home

Gold leaf transom numbers change the look of your home’s exterior right away. Gilded on the glass above your front door, they make it easy for friends and family to find your house on a busy street. We make them at our shop in Edgewater, Maryland, and the finished numbers suit any traditional transom window.

How We Make Gold Leaf Transom Numbers

First, we provide fonts for your review. Then we send drawings with measurements and other options. Once you approve the final drawing, we schedule your appointment.

Gilding your numbers takes several hours on site. Because the work has many steps, we take our time and let each layer dry completely before moving to the next phase of the gold leaf process. With years of experience gilding glass, we work carefully so the numbers come out clean and sharp.

Caring for Gold Leaf Transom Numbers

Care for your numbers is simple. Please do not use harsh fluids on the back of the numbers, and do not scrub them with abrasive pads or brushes. Instead, spray a little glass cleaner onto a paper towel and wipe the glass, avoiding the backs of the numbers. A feather duster is also safe for your numbers.

Address Signs for Homes Without a Transom

If your home has no glass for transom numbers, we can still make an address sign for you. Cast plaques work well, and we can mount them beside your front door. In rural areas, a sandblasted cedar sign at the top of your driveway helps visitors make the right turn. Here are some examples:
