Simplex Stair Shop

Monday, July 28th, 2008

Posted by David Boniello, Vice President Marketing & Development, Simplex Industries

A staircase is the centerpiece of many homes and it’s often a work of art, at least it is in a Simplex home. That’s because the stairs in your new Simplex home are unlike any other – each is custom made in our in-house stair shop by a Simplex Master Craftsman.

At Simplex, we are one of the very few custom builders to offer our customers an in-house stair shop. The stairs for your new dream home, whether a simple design or a highly complicated showpiece design, come to life on our shop floor – each stair is individually designed and built to your exact specifications.

Having a custom stair shop offers our customers many advantages. Perhaps the most important is quality.

A custom built Simplex staircase will simply fit your new home better than mass produced stairs used by most other builders. The staircase will be uniform in size and wood species and is custom manufactured to fit the exact space it will occupy in your new home.

A custom built staircase also allows our customers to have more design possibilities to enhance your new custom built Simplex home.

Ask your Simplex representative about the advantages of custom stairs in your dream home.

Introducing Park Model Custom Homes The Newest Division of Simplex Industries

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

By David Mertz Vice President Park Model Custom Homes Division

Simplex is now a major player in the recreation home market with the introduction of our newest division – Park Model Custom Homes.

Park model homes are among the fastest growing segments of the recreational home industry. These homes are required by U.S. Government regulations to be 400 square feet or less. While they are designed to have wheels and be mobile, they are very often used as permanent or semi-permanent structures at parks, lakes, RV sites – anywhere where rest and relaxation is the owner’s top priority! While many homes are used just as they are manufactured, many owners enhance their property with the addition of features such as sun rooms or enclosed porches and decks.

Drawing on the decades of experience and expertise of our parent company, Simplex Industries, a Park Model Custom Home is simply a superior reaction home:

  • Our homes features high quality drywall interior walls rather than industry standard low quality vinyl coated gypsum.
  • We offer you the opportunity to custom design your new Park Model Custom Home to fit your individual tastes and needs.
  • Our homes are never exposed to rain or snow during construction. The home is built in our climate controlled state-of-the-art construction facilities.
  • A Park Model Custom Home offers superior craftsmanship – your home is built by some of the nation’s top craftsmen.

Our New Energy Star 5+ Rated Home – The Greenfield!

Monday, July 7th, 2008

Posted by David Boniello, Vice President Marketing & Development, Simplex Industries

As part of our Planet Friendly Homes initiative we are proud to introduce one of the most energy efficient homes you can build, The Greenfield.

The Greenfield is an Energy Star 5+ Rated Home. ENERGY STAR is a joint program being run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to help Americans save money and protect the environment through energy efficient products and practices.

To earn the ENERGY STAR designation, a home must meet guidelines for energy efficiency set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. As a builder, it was Simplex’s responsibility to show The Greenfield was at least 15% more energy efficient than homes built to The International Residential Code. We also needed to show The Greenfield offered additional energy saving features that would make the home a minimum of 20% to 30% MORE energy efficient than standard homes. We are proud to have earn an Energy Star 5+ designation for The Greenfield.

The Greenfield’s pro environment credentials are impressive. For example, we have used high efficiency insulation, eanergy efficient windows, and some of the most energy efficient appliances on the market. Further, The Greenfield was built under The Simplex Planet Friendly Homes program. All excess building materials used during the construction of The Greenfield were recycled – reducing the environmental impact of this beautiful home.

Another special feature of the Greenfield is the fact it is a large home that fits within a small footprint – meaning you can fit this large home on a smaller lot. The key is a unique design that incorporates the garage design within the home footprint. The home is deceptively large thanks to this architectural design.

The Greenfield is a spacious home packed with unique features. The chef’s kitchen overlooks a breakfast nook on one side and a warm family room with fieldstone fireplace on the other. A formal dining room just off the entry way welcomes visitors. A mud room with a closet area helps keep the home neat and clean. Upstairs three large bedrooms feature window box seating. A large upstairs sitting area can be used as an office, upstairs lounge or can be converted to a 4th bedroom quickly and efficiently without removing any walls.

All of the architectural details you would expect to find in a spectacular custom home are in the Energy Star 5+ Rated Greenfield.

I invite you to tour The Greenfield Model Home at One Simplex Drive in Scranton. Please call us at 1-800-233-4233 for a tour.
