Can I see your products in person?
Yes - visits to our Cape Town workshop are by appointment only. Send us a WhatsApp or email and we'll set up a time. Most customers buy online based on the product photos and reviews, but if you'd like to see materials or finishes up close, you're welcome.
Do you offer trade or bulk discounts?
Yes - for orders of 5+ items or trade accounts, we offer tiered pricing. Email us at info@komposite.co.za with your project details and we'll send you a quote.
How do I order a custom design?
Send us your idea, sketch, or inspiration via email (info@komposite.co.za) or WhatsApp. We'll come back with a quote and timeline (custom designs typically take an additional 5-10 working days on top of standard lead time). Once approved, we send you a digital proof for sign-off before cutting begins.
Will my house number look right on my wall?
Send us a photo of your wall via WhatsApp or email and we'll happily give you a colour and design recommendation before you order. We've helped hundreds of customers pick the right combo - it's the easiest way to feel confident before you buy.
How do I install my house numbers?
Our house numbers come pre-drilled with easy-to-follow instructions for self-installation. They work on most surfaces — brick, plaster, render, stone, concrete, wood, and metal. We supply standoff fixings for that floating-from-the-wall finish. If you'd prefer professional installation, get in touch and we'll point you to a recommended installer in your area.
Can I collect from your workshop?
Yes! Free collection from our Rivergate workshop in Cape Town (9 Columbus Crescent, Rivergate Industrial Park). Select "Collection from workshop" at checkout. We'll email you the moment your order is ready (15-20 working days after order). Please wait for our confirmation email before coming to collect.
Can my sign, AC Cover or Household item rust?
The short answer is No. Our house signs, AC covers and Household items are weather resistant, rust proof and high quality with a 10 year or longer lifetime.
How easy are our products to install?
Most products are designed for 10-minute self-installation. House numbers come pre-drilled with fixings included. AC covers mount with provided brackets. Outdoor screens may need basic DIY skills (drill, level). If you'd prefer professional installation, we can recommend installers in major cities — just ask.
How do I clean my sign?
Warm water, mild dishwashing liquid (Sunlight is perfect), and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive scrubbers, harsh chemicals, or pressure washers — they can damage the powder-coat finish. Once a year is usually enough; more often if you live in coastal or dusty areas.
