House Numbers on Brick — The Best Ways to Display Your Address

Brick homes have timeless charm—but when it comes to displaying your address, not just any solution will do. Whether you're finishing new construction or giving your entryway a fresh look, your house numbers on brick should be as durable and beautiful as the home itself.

At Build-A-Stone, we offer several ways to integrate your address into brickwork with long-lasting, elegant results. Here’s a guide to the best options for mounting stone house numbers and stone address plaques on brick.


1. Built-In Address Stones for New Construction

If you’re building a new brick home or brick mailbox, the best option is to embed a full-depth stone address block directly into the masonry.

  • Recommended size: 2-1/2” thick

  • Best application: Integrated into wall or column during construction

  • Result: Flush, permanent, and professional

These stone address blocks are cast to match the dimensions of standard brick, so they “time out” with the rest of the masonry for a seamless appearance.


2. Surface-Mounted Address Stones for Existing Brick

Don’t have a new project underway? No problem. You can still mount a stone address plaque onto an existing brick surface using high-strength construction adhesive.

  • Recommended size: 3/4” or 1-1/2” thick

  • Tools needed: Level, caulk gun, masonry adhesive

  • Ideal for: Entry walls, brick siding, or mailbox facades

This is a simple, cost-effective upgrade that looks far better than bolted-on metal numbers or vinyl stickers.


3. Brick Mailbox Numbers Done Right

A stone mailbox number embedded in a brick mailbox column adds lasting curb appeal and increases visibility from the street.

With Build-A-Stone, every stone house number is deeply engraved and painted for weatherproof legibility.


Final Tip:

Always match the finish and color of your address stone to your brick tones—our sandstone and greystone options make blending simple.
