Formplex History
•  Industry Leaders for almost 30 years 
•  All Australian Owned Company
*  Exclusive Distributor of ExcellBoard
•  All Australian Made Product
•  Continuity of Product Lines 
 
Formplex Weatherboards have been national leaders in the Exterior cladding industry since 1981.  FORMPLEX was founded with the philosophy to give clients an all Australian building product that didn't require painting and that was well insulated. A product that could withstand our harsh Australian conditions, but also be aesthetically appealing.
 
The all Australian company became a household name by having clad well over 50,000 homes Australia wide.  Remember Neville Crowe in the commercials  “..Ah G'day”  “throw away your paintbrush...”  “Formplex is Forever”  “Never Paint Again”
 
We began with Ecotuff and Supatuff, added Palliside to the range and then delivered what we believe the market wanted -ExcellBoard - .  a maintenance free uPVC type 1 building board for the new home and renovation market.
 
The Formplex Family
When you contact Formplex you will be pleasantly surprised in this day and age to find that most of us have been here for a very long time.  In fact we are such a close family that some of us have been with Formplex for over 20 years so we can offer you our qualified experience and knowledge  to assist you in any way we can.
 
That reassurance is there for you when you are doing your extension and want to match your board, when you move house and want to Formplex it too - we keep our product lines.  It says something about the company when the staff is a happy family and adds to the level of care you receive as our client.

Dear Belinda
 
RE:   C & C. ..................     Somerville   -           Deepest Appreciation
 
Often words are not enough to express sincere gratitude to another party who has gone above and beyond their
requirements particularly in business dealings.  You are such a person deserving of the highest accolades for
your genuine concern and superlative service provided to us following our troubles with the installation of the cladding
on our beautiful new home in Somerville.
 
Building a new home can be a stressful time, and for Carole, Tiff and myself our dream home has been a long held
ambition that could so easily have been ruined without your support and selfless drive.
As a case study that should be conveyed to other owner builders, the fantastic service you provided should stand
as an abject lesson to those contemplating false economies in looking to save a few dollars on installation.
 
If we were to summarise your efforts we would like to highlight:
 
  • Your commitment to the Excelboard product is amazing. You truly believe that your product is the best in the market and you would not allow your product to be tarnished by a faulty installer even to the extent of being prepared to manage the  re-installation of the cladding.
  • You represent an supplier intent on delivering an end result, not just a product and your commitment to deliver that result should be acknowledged.
  • Your support and active representations in dealing with our builder's insurer really encouraged us to felt like small fish in a big pond when dealing with larger insurance companies. It was really reassuring to have Formplex and yourself batting for us.
  • Most importantly, you dealt with us with honour and honesty and treated us like part of your extended family right from the initial meeting in 2007. Your approach was much more like a family friend that a company representative.
 
Belinda, our wish is that others can be made aware of your fantastic service and commitment to Formplex customers, past, present and future. When anyone contemplates spending thousands of dollars on a premium product, which is probably the most high profile compenent of any home, high risk options in taking shortcuts with installation should be resisted.
 
Often these messages fail to resonate, please feel free to use some of the messages from this letter as testimonial for the product, for Formplex and most importantly yourself.
 
You are always welcome at our now beautiful home. Best wishes from Carole, Tiffany and myself.
 
Yours sincerely
 
Chris, Carole & Tiffany
