Do you believe in luck in numbers? This article tells you that the mythology of numbers is as wide as the ocean. Every culture has its own belief. It is not an article to suggest you to follow it, it to explain why your neighbor looks so serious about the house number he has.

In western culture, the number 13 is always assumed the source of bad luck. You will easily see in the neighborhood that there are house numbers 11, 12 and 14. The 13 number is some how missing from the sequence intentionally. In Chinese culture the bad luck number is 4. If you are happened to be in china, you will find that the floor number has 1, 2, 3, 3A and 5 but never has 4 as the numbers.

Whatever your belief is, you need to decide what you like for your house. Is it brass house number, or chrome plated house number? Different material will give you different colors or tones. If you want to have freedom to chose the color, the synthetic house number made from acrylic is the suitable one for you. The best thing about acrylic house numbers is the durability and simple maintenance. You don’t have to wax it to make it glow. Should it be dirty because of the dust, you can always take it and wash it with kitchen soap and warm water. Isn’t it easy?
