This Top Knobs Modern Avalon piece is the numeral 8, a single-character house number for address identification on a door, wall, or post.
The numeral 8 is the widest single-digit character in most typefaces, and this one reflects that: at 3 inches wide it is proportionally broader than a 1 or a 4 in the same series. That width matters when planning a multi-digit address. The total horizontal span of an address is the sum of each character's individual width plus whatever gaps are chosen between them, so knowing the 8 is 3 inches across helps before the first hole is marked. Each digit is a separate purchase, so an address at 1408 takes four individual items, one for each character, including two ordered from separate SKUs for the differing numerals.
The Brushed Nickel finish carries a fine linear texture across its surface rather than a mirror polish, which softens reflections and shows fingerprints and minor surface variation less than a high-gloss alternative. The body is zinc. The 1/4 inch projection keeps the numeral close to its mounting surface, producing a narrow, clean shadow line rather than a dramatic standoff effect. That shadow is what separates the character from its background and gives it definition at a distance.
The 4-1/2 inch format suits an entry where the address should be legible and clean without dominating the elevation. A tighter frontage, a smaller door panel, or a mounting surface with limited vertical clearance all favor this size over the 6 inch version in the same series. Brushed Nickel reads as a cool silver and coordinates naturally with other silver-tone hardware at the entry. Confirm your local requirements for address numeral size if your jurisdiction specifies a minimum, and confirm the mounting approach for your particular surface before ordering.
No. This item is the numeral 8 only. Every digit in an address is a separate order.
Width varies by character across the series. At 3 inches, the 8 is among the wider digits, which is worth noting when calculating total address width.
The larger size in this series measures 6 inches on its long dimension. The projection also differs between sizes. Choose one size and apply it consistently across every digit in the address.
No environmental or corrosion rating is available for this product. Confirm suitability for your specific installation conditions before mounting.
One item delivers one numeral 8. Count the eights in the address, order accordingly, and select the matching digits for the remaining characters in the Modern Avalon series.
