Outdoor Living
The Perfect Choice
Ultraframe Northern Account Manager , Lucy Russell , and her fiancé Ben , live in a 1930 ’ s semidetached property in Burnley , Lancashire , which the previous owner had lived in for 40 years . They bought the house as a complete renovation project , working through every room to transform it into a contemporary home . A key part of the renovation was the addition of an extension to create a modern open-plan kitchen / diner . As they neared the time for their extension plans to become a reality , Ultraframe was finalising its revolutionary new hup ! building system and Lucy knew it was the perfect choice for their project .
The hup ! system consists of a fast to build and highly energy efficient wall solution that can be used in conjunction with any Ultraframe roof to create any style of extension .
Explaining about their desire for an extension , and the reasons why hup ! was the perfect choice for them , Lucy said : “ When we bought the house , we had a very small kitchen and our boiler and utility facilities were in an outhouse in the garden which wasn ’ t ideal . Our plan was for an internal utility and although this was the main driver for the extension , we also wanted a modern , sociable open plan kitchen / dining / lounge area to entertain our family and friends .”
The hup ! system offers a huge number of benefits vs a traditional build using bricks and mortar . hup ! at a glance :
• Five times more energy efficient than the average UK home , hup ! uses Building Regulation compliant materials .
