Synthetic stucco does not appear <br />to be a commonly used material, <br />although there are a few examples. <br />Synthetic stucco system brands are <br />EIFS, TEIFS,, etc. <br />The following standards apply: <br />• Retain and repair the original <br />building material of a house. <br />• Replace only that material which <br />is beyond repair. <br />• Replace deteriorated material <br />with compatible new material. <br />• Installing, any synthetic building <br />material on top of original <br />material is prohibited. It can also <br />trap moisture in the insulation, <br />which reduces the effectiveness <br />of'the insulation. <br />• Installing synthetic siding on top <br />of existing siding as a means of <br />"modernizing"' the house or <br />attempting to make the house <br />more energy-efficient is <br />prohibited. This changes the, <br />character of the original design <br />and frequently destroys the <br />character -defining features of the <br />house and neighborhood. <br />• Installing stucco over existing <br />materials is prohibited. <br />• The use of synthetic stucco <br />materials (EIFS, TEIFS, etc.) as <br />an additional layer over existing <br />and original sheathing materials <br />is prohibited. <br />• Avoid installing "wood grained" <br />materials in historic districts. <br />Wood used in historic houses <br />was smoothly sanded with no <br />obvious grain. <br />Design Standards for the City of Paris, Texasl 32 <br />
