Front Entrances and Doors (all man doors or garage doors visible from front street) Sample Clauses

Front Entrances and Doors (all man doors or garage doors visible from front street). Built Green® Tip: SAMPLE Fiberglass doors may insulate better than steel skinned or wood doors, have a longer lifespan, do not warp, twist or crack, and therefore reduce landfill use. R6 insulated doors (or better) of fiberglass or steel with insulated cores and various internal thermal breaks, are preferable to wood doors which are essentially uninsulated, and are much less durable. Details Covered entries and porches provide shading as well as outdoor living space. The south side is the most critical face of the home to shade. Front porches create a transition from the private space of the home to the public space of the street. All entry doors should be appropriately detailed and of a design consistent with the style of the home. Doors that incorporate glazing, sidelights or transom windows are strongly encouraged. All front entrance doors are to be painted in a contrasting deep, vibrant colour or painted to match the trim colour (note: white trim colour will require an alternate accent colour to be used). If doors are wood, they should be stained to match or contrast with the trim colour.
