Spending money on the expensive name plates

All in the name

The house owner finds pleasure in spending money on the expensive name plates that gives the first impression about the owner,says Prakash Bhandari


They say what is there in a name.But for those who own a house,the significance of naming the house at times is emotional and sensible as well.Those who believe in Vaastu often consult a Vaastu expert and only after a satisfying consultation the name appears on the house.You move around the colonies and you would come out with names written with bold letters like Kaustubh,Neelgagan,Ashiana,Manzil,Anand Niketan,Shanti Niketan,Govind Niwas,Megh Niwas,Nand Kunj,Emerald House,Green House and Rangoon House either on the house or on the exclusive house sign boards.



Many times people prefer to name the house on the name of their native place,villages or Thikanas they belong to.There was a time when the house sign or name plates on the houses were made of marble slab with black engraving.This was the oldest mode of naming a house.Many people used enamel name plates that would be weather proof and dust proof as well.In last few years a lot many changes have taken place.The owners of the house have shown distinct taste while choosing the house sign or name plates.The old tin plates,marble plates and wooden plates are being fast replaced with newer material and stones of various kinds and colours.The old marble name plates that lasts for ever is fast being replaced by plates made up of slate,granite,ceramic,glass,iron,bronze and other alloys.

The house owner finds pleasure in spending money on the house sign or name plates that gives the first impression about the owner and his house to a visitor.There are people who use lighting to display their house signs in the night,neatly placed on one side of the entrance gate pillar or on the gate itself.There are some who use the iron grill and wooden planks on the house gate to display the house sign or names of the owners.

The change of technology has also changed the name plates of not only residential buildings,but commercial buildings also.In several commercial buildings one can find engraved names on glass,granite,marble,cast and bronze,aluminium and florescent plates.People even browse internet and search for the latest technological development to use them while engraving the name plates.Be selective while choosing the signage and the fonts 

The name plates should have the house name,number and the name of the owner It should be placed at such a position where maximum visibility is ensured Those who use the night lamp could go fluorescent material that absorbs light in the day time and shines at night Sign boards which are imported mostly from Europe are available in Delhi and Mumbai One can use laser technology for preparing name plates of various fonts and sizes Avoid using a wooden name plate as after some years the woods wilts Instead of engraving "Beware of Dog",use a plate having picture of dog 

There is a saying that the exterior often shows the depth of your interiors that suggest you to select the name plates with a lot of care and of course taste.
