When metal storm doors are used, they should be painted anodized or coated to match the existing. When awnings are used, they should be of canvas material. Prohibited Existing or original doors, windows, and hardware shall not be discarded when they can be restored and re -used in place. New window and door openings which would alter the scale and proportion of the building should not be introduced. Inappropriate new window and door features such as aluminum insulating glass combinations that require the removal of the original windows and doors shall not be installed. Not Recommended Metal, vinyl, or fiberglass awnings, hoods, and fake shutters that would detract from the existing character or appearance of the building should not be used.
