NEW HUP ! ON DWARF WALLS

Ultraframe has announced an exciting enhancement to its hup ! building system – the ability to use it on top of existing dwarf walls . This is a huge benefit to installers carrying out conservatory transformation projects as it reduces time spent on site and demolition mess , as well as lowering skip costs . It also means that homeowners can retain their existing flooring should they wish , offering huge savings and the ability to move into their new hup ! more quickly .
Alex Hewitt , Ultraframe Marketing Director , explained further , saying : “ We want to ensure that hup ! remains at the forefront of building technology and so our R & D team have been working hard on the next phase of the hup ! story with some exciting new developments , including the ability to use the system on top of existing dwarf walls . We really want to ensure that hup ! offers the best possible solution for our customers when they have an extension or conservatory transformation project and this newly-announced dwarf wall feature is a key part of that vision . Whether you are replacing a window with a small hup ! wall or removing all the frames and creating a home extension , this new feature increases the transformation options to conservatory owners on a budget . These include replacing windows with hup !, changing the frames and adding hup ! walls onto a cill , and changing the frames and adding hup ! walls that are fully clad on the exterior .”

Alongside the new ability to use hup ! on dwarf walls , Ultraframe has also recently announced a brand new hup ! Base solution which is available now , and a new brick slips solution , coming soon .
The hup ! Base makes a hup ! build even faster , eliminates the risk of weather delays , and is suitable for most site conditions . Bringing speed , certainty and simplicity to the base element of any hup !, the new base also means that hup ! projects become even easier to manage .
The new hup ! brick slips solution is a fantastic product which offers a real brick aesthetic along with a brick matching service for homeowners wanting a match to their existing

property . Deeper mortar gaps and the real brick aesthetic of the product mean that the brick slips offer a great exterior finish solution for our installers , taking only a few hours more to install vs brick mesh , but giving a far superior result that is indistinguishable from a real brick wall once complete .
Concluding , Alex said : “ Our hup ! system already offered huge benefits to our customers in terms of time savings , simplicity and a consistent high quality finish , and these latest enhancements are set to make hup ! builds even simpler and more efficient for our customers .”

SPEED AND SIMPLICITY FROM THE BASE HUP !

The hup ! building system from Ultraframe brings speed and simplicity to any build and the company has now announced that an intuitive base solution is also available . The new hup ! Base makes a hup ! extension build even faster and is suitable for most site conditions .
Ultraframe Marketing Director , Alex Hewitt , said : “ The hup ! system is all about bringing speed , certainty and simplicity to a build and we have taken this a step further now with the introduction of the new hup ! Base . Our customers
have been asking for a base solution ever since we launched hup ! as this is often where the most cost uncertainty lies , and we have listened and delivered . Suitable for most site conditions , it offers predictable costs and timelines for the base element of a hup ! build and means that projects are easier to manage . Plus , ordering the hup ! Base couldn ’ t be simpler – simply add it to your hup ! quote and we ’ ll do the rest .”
With the hup ! Base , diggers are no longer required and the need for skips is reduced , sometimes eliminated . There is also far less
mess and dirt on site compared to a traditional build and the need for specialist bricklayers is eliminated .
The speed of building with hup ! is reduced even further with the new hup ! Base as pads can be used vs full foundations , and the system is also compatible with ground screws if necessary . This means that there is far less excavation work to do on each build and less concrete needed , which further speeds up each project and reduces the chance of weather delays at the build stage . Featuring 100mm PIR , the hup ! Base is highly energy
efficient as you would expect from hup !, with a U-Value of just 0.18 w / m 2 K , and is fully Building Regulation compliant . Red tape is made easier as the system has been pre-approved for speedy approval by Stroma .
Concluding , Alex said : “ The new hup ! Base brings predictability to the base element of a hup ! build and further speeds up the completion time for the overall project . As with the rest of the hup ! system , once ordered there is complete cost certainty and a high quality consistent result every time .”
