34 Blind Ambition

How blinds can be integral to a modern home’ s energy efficiency.

As the days get shorter and temperatures start to drop, many homeowners are turning their attention indoors. But while summer may be over, the appetite for extra space, comfort, and energy efficiency is stronger than ever. In fact, autumn and winter can be some of the busiest periods for installers who are ready to offer what the market really wants: high-quality, fully integrated extensions that perform all year round.

With colder weather and shorter days incoming, more homeowners are prioritising warm, usable space; especially ahead of Christmas, school holidays, or new-year renovations. Now is the ideal time to tap into that demand by offering something extra, and hup! makes it easy to do just that. At Connaught Conservatories, we’ ve been working with installers across the UK for over 30 years, supplying high-quality conservatory roofs, solid roof systems, and now full extension solutions. Our long-standing relationship with Ultraframe means we’ re always one step ahead of where the market is heading- and right now, it’ s clear that expectations are rising fast.

The traditional conservatory still has its place, but more and more homeowners are looking for something that goes further. They want spaces that feel like a true part of the home, not an add-on. They want better thermal performance, faster builds, and designs that suit their lifestyle, not just their garden.

The rise of the highperformance extension

For homeowners, hup! offers an exciting way to create extra space quickly and efficiently, whether it’ s for a kitchen extension, home office, playroom or open-plan family room. But for installers, it’ s much more than a new product; it’ s an opportunity to grow your business, take on

higher-value projects, and meet growing demand without stepping outside your comfort zone. hup! is designed specifically for conservatory and roof installers who want to expand their offering, without becoming general builders or taking on full-scale construction projects. It’ s a smart, scalable route into the extension market, using familiar components and techniques, but with a big difference in the outcome.

How hup! works, and why it works

The hup! system combines precision-engineered insulated wall panels with energy-efficient roofing, offering a complete structural solution that can be assembled quickly and easily on-site. Everything is pre-manufactured to exact specifications, meaning fewer delays, less waste, and no unexpected surprises.

For homeowners, it means faster builds( often in just days), outstanding energy performance, and a modern, fully integrated look and feel. For installers, it means larger jobs with higher margins, and far less reliance on subcontractors, bricklayers, or unpredictable site conditions.
