If you want to extend your home or replace an ageing conservatory, hup! offers a modern alternative to traditional building methods. This advanced building system combines highly insulated walls and roofing with a fast, efficient installation process. The result is a comfortable new room designed for everyday use throughout the year.
At Fortress Windows & Conservatories, we can help you understand how hup! could work for your property, whether you are planning a new extension or updating an existing conservatory.
How does the hup! building system work?
hup! is a lightweight building system developed by Ultraframe. Rather than constructing walls with traditional bricks and blocks, it uses factory made components that are manufactured to suit the measurements and design of your project.
The precision made wall panels are delivered ready for installation. This reduces the amount of cutting, mixing and building required at your property. The lightweight structure can also place less pressure on existing foundations, making it particularly suitable for many conservatory replacement projects.
Once installed, the exterior can be finished with brick mesh, render or cladding. Internally, the walls can be plastered to create the appearance and feel of a conventional room. A choice of roof styles, windows and doors allows the finished space to complement your home.
A quicker way to extend your home
One of the main advantages of hup! is its installation speed. According to the manufacturer, the system can be installed up to five times faster than traditional building methods.
As much of the structure is prepared in controlled factory conditions, there is less work to complete on site. This can mean fewer delays, less disruption and a shorter wait before your new room is ready to decorate and furnish.
Project times will always depend on the size, design and requirements of the installation. Our team can discuss the expected schedule when preparing your quote.
Comfortable in every season
Older conservatories can become too hot during summer and difficult to warm in winter. The hup! system is designed with thermal performance in mind, helping to create a room that feels more like part of your home.
Its insulated wall panels can be up to five times more energy efficient than the walls of an average UK home. When combined with a thermally efficient roof, suitable glazing and quality doors, the system helps to limit unwanted heat loss.
This means your completed room could be used as a dining area, home office, family room, kitchen extension or relaxing living space, rather than being left unused during colder or warmer weather.
Can hup! replace an existing conservatory?
Yes, hup! can be an excellent choice for replacing an outdated conservatory. Depending on its condition and suitability, the existing base may be retained. The old frames and roof can then be removed before the new wall and roof system is installed.
Using the existing footprint can make the transformation more straightforward, although every property needs to be assessed individually. We will inspect the current structure and explain what is suitable before work begins.
hup! can also be used for a completely new home extension. From smaller garden rooms to larger open plan spaces, there are plenty of design possibilities. Planning permission and Building Regulations requirements will depend on the individual project, property and location.
