Florida Ave Transom Numbers in Gold Leaf
Designs & Signs in Edgewater, Maryland, gilded these Florida Ave transom numbers at 1231 Florida Ave. in Washington, DC. They are bold and bright, and they stand out from the street. A job like this takes a full day on site.
How We Gild Transom Numbers
We start with a very clean transom, so we clean both the outside and inside of the glass. Then we measure the window and place our patterns carefully to create a balanced layout. Next, we lay the gold leaf. The leaf is thin and tricky to work with, so we handle it with care. When we make Florida Ave transom numbers like these, we lay the gold on gently and polish it softly once it is dry.
After the gold is on, we back up the numbers with protective black paint. The outlines provide contrast, which lets the gold leaf show up well on the glass. It all comes down to attention to detail, so the numbers are easy to read and look great.
