The hup! building system from Ultraframe has reached a

grand milestone with the 1000th order placed at the beginning of July. Launched in 2022, the system

eliminates the need for traditional brickwork – and the many problems that are often associated with it – bringing speed and simplicity to extension builds. The momentous 1000th order was placed by County Windows, a Conservatory Outlet Premier Retailer, using the simple-to-use hup! online ordering system, and is a lean-to design with a tiled Ultraroof.

Ultraframe Marketing Director, Alex Hewitt, said:“ Those customers who decided to try it out initially are now changing the way

they build across their business, preferring hup! to traditional methods. We are seeing bigger players coming on board, as well as a network of smaller independent installers, all of whom are enjoying the speed and simplicity that hup! brings to a site.

“ From day one, our mission has been to bring more certainty to builds, making them faster, simpler and less stressful. Hitting 1000 orders proves that hup! is a system that’ s actively reshaping the way that our industry builds.”

Over the last 12 months, a network of hup! Trade Centres has opened in locations across the UK, providing a one-stop shop for installers wanting to build a business around hup! and help them fully embed the revolutionary system into their business. Visitors to the hup! Trade Centres can design, specify, quote, and place hup! orders, as well as benefitting from technical support and on-site training.
