(original letter on file - reproduced for website). 1st March 2010 Ms Belinda Davies National Sales & Marketing Manager FORMPLEX 486 Glenhuntly Road ELSTERNWICK VIC 3185 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:
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 FAQs Can the boards go straight onto the house frame? ExcellBoard is the perfect building board for new construction and can be installed straight onto the studs at 450 batten spacings. How do I know if I'm getting genuine product or cheap copy? Make sure you are dealing with the genuine product by only dealing directly with the office on 1800 038145 Is Formplex Australian Product and Australian Company? All Formplex products are made in Australia and Formplex is a wholly Australian owned company. Can it be installed vertically / diagonally? Yes it can. Will it chip or rot or fade? No it won't Can it go over concrete? Yes it can What if I have aluminium or brick cladding on my home? We remove the cladding and install the Formplex Board Will it add value to my house? Yes it will - see the Gallery to see the example of the client who got a much higher valuation after the Formplexing of her home. Is Excellboard just for new homes? No, ExcellBoard is dual purpose and can be used both for new construction or recladding an existing home. Do you see nails and joins? No, Formplex nails and screws are hidden and will last a lifetime. What do I get if I refer someone to you? See our referral program for a way to make your Formplex work for you. Can you help me get finance to do my Formplex? Yes, see our Finance page for details on how we can assist you to finance the Formplexing of your home. Do my plans need to be approved prior to getting a quote? No. It is best to talk to our building department when you at your ideas stage. What if I want to extend my home in the future? No problem. We are still supplying the same product lines as well as new ones. We recently matched a house we formplexed 28 years ago. How do I get a quote? Call 1800 038145 to organise your no obligation free measure and quote today. Why can't you give me a price over the phone? It is very difficult and unprofessional to quote an existing home over the phone as we are quoting wall areas and shape, heights, accessibility. These are just some of the factors why we need to sight the home to give you an accurate estimation. Am I just covering up problems? No this is a myth - Formplex contains the home preserving the weatherboards beneath. Will my house be cooler in summer / warmer in winter? Yes, an extra layer around the home will certainly save you money on your heating and cooling costs. Does it reduce noise? Yes. See above. I live on the coast - will this affect my Formplex? Coastal living was one condition we considered when designing ExcellBoard so the answer is definitely - no. What is the importance of using lightweight boards? The harsh Australian climate we live in means the ground will move more with contraction and expansion due to temperature change - lightweight boards put less pressure on the house frame. Will it burn? No - our boards are fire retardant so they won't support a flame. How do I clean it? Simple soapy water and a soft broom will do the job Is it cheaper than painting? In the long term yes. It would be wrong to compare the cost of one formplexing to one paint job because you won't paint once, but you will Formplex once. Do you have distributers in each State? We have Agents in each State to remove the need for the middle man. You only have to deal with Head Office to get the response you need on toll free 1800 038145 Can I buy it myself and install it? The product must be installed correctly to move with the house and the weather. Installation is not as easy as it looks and the wrong installation can ruin your home. However, please ring our Building department and ask them to advise whether you can do it on 1800 038145 Is the board environmentally friendly? Yes. Formplex products are environmentally friendly and no forests have been destroyed to produce our products. Why should I use Formplex weatherboards? Simple - you want the best you can get for your home - why settle for cheap imports not designed for our climate. We have been around for almost 30 years and are still leaders with a unique product we alone can offer you. Are all Formplex Appointments made through the office? Yes - we will arrange a date and time suitable to you and confirm the appointment and who will be coming out to see you so you will be assured it is a qualified representative of Formplex. Are you licensed? Yes, Formplex is qualified to do work in every state and comply with all necessary regulations and licenses |
