Let's not forget Lisa and Gunther (below) from Whyalla South Australia...    From boring.... to amazing.. and a fresh cottage look These are some pics (out of 37 sent) .... We love people who love their houses... From: Lisa Hi........we just had our old weatherboard cottage transformed into the most stunning house in the street (we think so anyway). Thought we should let you know how very happy we are. Rick & his assistant did an absolute outstanding job. Much pride & great workmanship went into the project. I actually said to Rick that he was annoying me because I couldn't fault him!!! With 3 dog's' a cat; hubby & myself (forever taking photos) hanging around we were probably annoying him. Just couldn't help ourselves; the transformation was amazing. We'll certainly recommend FORMPLEX & its tradesmen to anyone who is willing to listen to us bragging about our fantastic looking cottage. I have included lots of photos (told you; couldn't help myself).I am sure you'll agree with me that the transformation of our old cottage is absolutely amazing; it's like a brand-new house. Our house certainly wouldn't have been the easiest to reclad since all kinds of strange things had been done to it over the years.(it was build in the 1930's & had several owners) The plumbing & pipe work is definitely not sophisticated; & we had to call in a plumber to adjust some. But nothing seemed to be too difficult for Rick & his assistant. This might actually be worth emphasising...it makes no difference how old or unusual a house is...it can be transformed with Formplex.

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?

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?
