This Top Knobs Modern Avalon piece is the numeral 8, in the larger six-inch format and a Matte Black finish, for address identification on a door, post, or wall face.
The numeral 8 is the widest character in a typical set, and in the Modern Avalon series at six inches it measures 4 inches across. That matters when several digits are being laid out: the total width of a multi-digit address is the sum of the individual character widths plus the gaps chosen between them. A house at 8842, for example, involves two of this piece plus the 4 and the 2, and each has its own width. Count the digits before ordering, and order one of this item for each 8 in the address. These are sold individually, so the address comes together one numeral at a time.
The finish is Matte Black, a flat, non-reflective black with no sheen, over a zinc body. Matte Black reads with high contrast against light-colored siding, painted surfaces, and natural wood, which is part of why it has become the most common finish choice in contemporary residential entries. The 1/2 inch projection lifts the numeral off the mounting surface, and a half-inch standoff casts a definite shadow line along the edges of the character, which sharpens how the 8 reads against its background in direct or angled light.
This piece suits a modern or transitional entry where the address hardware is treated as part of the design rather than as a utility element. The six-inch format works on a wider frontage, a gate post, or a wall surface seen from a distance, where a smaller numeral would lose presence. It coordinates with other Modern Avalon numerals, so an address that runs across several digits can be assembled consistently. Confirm your local requirements for address numeral size if your jurisdiction specifies one, and confirm the mounting arrangement for your specific wall surface before installation.
The 8 has two full loops side by side, making it the widest character. At 4 inches wide it is broader than a 1, a 4, or a 7 in the same series.
No. Each numeral is a separate item. Order one for each 8 in the address, and the corresponding items for the other digits.
The Modern Avalon series runs at more than one size. This is the six-inch version. If the smaller format is needed, look for the 4-1/2 inch version in the same series and finish.
Order this piece for each 8 in the address, and pair it with the matching Modern Avalon numerals for the remaining digits.
