Wall systems
WAKE HUP! TO THE FUTURE
Ultraframe’s new hup! building system will be on show at this year’s FIT Show at the NEC.
Total Installer speaks to Marketing Director Alex Hewitt, who tells us more about the system
that is described as a “better way to build home extensions and conservatories”...
Visitors to the Ultraframe stand R59
at this year’s FIT Show will be the
first to see the company’s new
hup! building system.
Put simply, hup! is the better way to build
home extensions and conservatories.
The system consists of a fast to build
and highly energy efficient wall solution
that can be used in conjunction with
any Ultraframe roof, allowing installers
and builders to create every possible
style of home extension, orangery, or
conservatory, quickly and easily.
Explaining more about the new hup! system, and
how it differs to traditional methods of building an
extension or conservatory, Ultraframe Marketing
Director Alex Hewitt said: “There are many
challenges facing installers today: brick and skills
shortages, more complex installations which
need more time on site, unpredictable weather,
complex consumer demands, post-COVID
demand, and of course, the changes to Building
Regulations.
“We have put huge amounts of research into
the hup! system to create a solution to these
problems – and more – and we think that
installers will be delighted with the result.”
hup! at a glance
• Five times more energy efficient than the
average UK home, hup! uses Building Regulation
compliant materials.
• Fewer trades needed for easy project
management – no brickies, just one conservatory
fitting team.
• Five times faster to build than traditional
methods, hup! enables installers to collect cash
quicker. The wall in particular is assembled
rapidly – 10 square metres of wall takes less
“The hup! system is
truly unlike anything
else on the market”
than 5 minutes to assemble!
• Manufactured off site, there is no cutting
needed on site, reducing waste and time.
• Ultimate design flexibility – choose your own
claddings and windows & doors, and design,
specify and price each project in easy-to-use
software.
• With rising material costs, the price of your
hup! specified in the software won’t fluctuate,
helping you quote with confidence.
• Engineered by Ultraframe using BBA approved
technology and manufactured in a BBA approved
factory, with hup! you can be assured of a
consistent high-quality finish.
•Comprehensive training means that fitting
teams are confident and competent.
A revolution in extension and conservatory
construction
Continuing, Alex said: “The hup! system is truly
Contact Ultraframe:
unlike anything else on the
market.
“hup! uses highly energy
efficient and BBA approved
Ultrapanels in place of
brick walls, and engineered
Ultraframe roofing systems
in place of timber and
slate roofs, making it five
times faster to build than
traditional methods.
“Available in any roof
shape on footprints with
90° corners, installers can
combine hup! walls and claddings with a choice
of five Ultraframe roofs to create a bespoke hup!
extension or conservatory.
“Arriving as a flat packed kit, there is far less
mess and disruption than with traditional
methods, meaning happy homeowners.
“Finally, the groundbreaking technology in
Ultrapanels means that a hup! build is on average
at least five times more energy efficient than the
average UK home, so hup! extensions are every
bit as warm and thermally efficient as the rest of
your home – if not warmer!”
Along with the hup! wall system, some of the roof
choices available are also brand new and will be
on display at the FIT Show.
Installers can choose from the new-to-market
Vista and Flat Roof, or well-known Ultraframe
favourites, the Glass Roof, Tiled Roof (Ultraroof),
or Hybrid Roof (Livinroof).
