Therefore, we propose replacing the door with the Jeld-Wen fiberglass door that is <br />shown on Exhibit E (minus the dental molding). It is a fairly plain wood-grain door <br />in their "Architectural Fiberglass" series with a camber-top 6-pane window. For <br />more information, please refer to page 32 of the Jeld-Wen brochure that we are <br />submitting with this proposal. A quote is attached as Exhibit F. We favor this <br />solution for the following reasons: <br />(1) Durability—especially with the possibility of using factory-applied stain (on <br />the interior) and paint (red, on the outside). <br />(2) Style—please see Exhibits G and H for examples of Tudor revival homes in <br />our neighborhood that have a rectangular front door with an arched, multi- <br />pane window. We think the arch will continue the feeling of the original <br />door, to some extent, and will also coordinate nicely with the interior arches <br />in our entryway, dining room and living room. The multiple panes will <br />repeat the panes in the home's casement windows, two other exterior doors, <br />and garage doors. <br />(3) Ease of installation—our door opening is actually a rectangular opening, and <br />a standard (3' by 6'8") rectangular replacement door will fit. Note that this <br />is unlike all other Tudor arch door settings that we have found in our <br />neighborhood, where the opening itself is in the shape of an arch—see, for <br />example, Exhibit I. <br />For the foregoing reasons, we respectfully ask the Commission to honor our request. <br />
