» THE HUP ! LIGHTweight building system from Ultraframe is now compatible with variable corners from 90 ° to 170 °, meaning it can now be used to convert old Victorian conservatories into modern extensions – in addition to the multitude of styles already possible with the revolutionary system .
Commenting about the new enhancement to hup !, Alex Hewitt , Ultraframe Marketing Director , said : “ hup ! is the ideal choice for converting old , outdated conservatories into modern energy efficient extensions and now this is possible with Victorian styles too . Around 15-20 % of the aging conservatory stock which is ready to be upgraded are Victorian style conservatories , and so the new hup ! variable corners open up a massive sector of the conversion
|
market . Converting a conservatory with hup ! is extremely fast as the existing base can be reused and most builds take just three to four days . There are already installers up and down the UK who are enjoying the benefits of conservatory conversions with hup ! and the introduction of the variable corners has now opened up this lucrative market even further . While Victorian style conservatories are often considered to be more traditional or even dated in style , once converted with hup ! they can be anything but ! We ’ ve been having fun with faceted hup ! conservatory conversions designs in CGI and believe that transforming Victorian conservatories using hup ! is the perfect solution for homeowners with this style , helping them to create a modern up to date look .” |
A short guide has been produced to help hup ! users with the specification of variable corners , which can now be specified on Ultraframe ’ s Udesign software . The new variable corners are included in the current square metre pricing .
KEY SPECIFICATION CRITERIA
• Variable corners are available with wall or windows / doors at either side
• Available in angles from 90 ° to 170 °
• Suitable for use on three , five and seven bay Victorians
• Two variable corners available : small corner and medium corner
|
Concluding , Alex said : “ Conservatory conversions are a booming and lucrative market and hup ! allows our installers to carry out these projects quickly and efficiently . There are currently around 1.5 million conservatories in the UK that are in need of upgrading and due to the speed , flexibility , and energy efficiency of the system , hup ! is the ideal choice . It is also pre-approved for Building Regulations , meaning red tape is minimised . Victorian style conservatories are often some of the oldest conservatory stock there is and so they are typically the ones that could most benefit from an upgrade – or should I say a ‘ hup ! grade !’.” |

reputation for delivering highclass , quality and affordable installations across the city of Dundee and the regions of Fife and Angus .
In early 2024 , work will be completed extending the company ’ s headquarters in the bustling West Pitkerro Industrial Estate . The investment will double the amount of showroom and office space the

company has and will comfortably accommodate the rise in footfall that Ecofit has seen in the past twenty-four months .
