PLANNING GUIDE / Siding, doors and lighting

Plan your exterior.

Plan the siding, entry, garage door, and outdoor lighting as one exterior project.

Look at the whole facade before selecting individual materials. Think about where siding should go, how it will meet stone or stucco, and how the home will look after dark.

Choose where siding belongs.

Use siding on an entry wall, upper story, garage surround, soffit, or full wall. Review its position and direction on the whole elevation.

The ORDA siding catalog shows light oak with white stucco, natural oak with smooth surfaces, and darker tones with stone. Compare these combinations with the existing materials on your home.

Connect the openings.

Review the entry and garage door proportions, panel layout, frame color, and hardware alongside the siding.

Compare glass, wood look, and solid garage doors. Choose whether the garage and entry should match closely or use different finishes from the same exterior palette.

Design for the evening, too.

Compare day and evening views. Soffit lighting, wall lighting, and the path to the entry can change how siding and stone appear after dark.

Plan wiring, lighting channels, trims, and material junctions early. Final siding details should follow the selected supplier system and the conditions of the site.
