The asphalt shingle roof, in a blended color, is carried car-ried trom one section of the building to the other without a break. Appearance Aided By Uniform Design Design and construction of a garage should receive as much attention as design and construction construc-tion of the house. Harmonious overall design will increase the attractiveness of both buildings. Architects consider uniformity of appearance important for buildings build-ings in a group. Because the roof ttilor dominates color design, the same solid or blended color asphalt as-phalt shingles should be used on both the garage and the house. When a garage is detached, Ug iter framing and a less substantial sub-stantial foundation sometimes can be used. In most cases, these are the only exceptions to the rule lhat house construction and design de-sign should be used in garage building. Doors Made to Meet Variety of Problems Garage doors are made to "meet an infinite variety of problems and tastes, and there should be no valid reason why any modern garage door should not operate as easily as the front door of the home and look just as attractive," says American Builder magazine. The publication adds, "The garage ga-rage door is one of the largest and most conspicuous features of the home. Designers therefore give the garage door much thought and consideration." American Builder says the six major types of garage doors are the roll-up or sectional door, the , swing-up or panel type, the sliding slid-ing door, the hinged door, the accordion ac-cordion door, and the two-section, upward-folding door. |
