Any questions?
Can you build two storey extensions with hup!?
hup! kits are only available for single storey extensions or free standing single story buildings.
Can I change hup! after it is built?
At hup! we keep a record of all the locations of the hup! panels. If you want to make a change, simply contact hupteam@ultraframe.co.uk who will be able to help you purchase a bespoke conversion kit that can allow you to make changes like adding windows or filling in apetures. Changes to glazing are easy in the windows and walls, but significant changes to the roof design may neccessitate a new roof.
Can you provide me the data I need to show the product performance for Building Regulations?
Yes we can - Please email hupteam@ultraframe.co.uk and we can send you our Building Regulation pack. CAD details for hup! showing the various junctions within the build including standard base connection, roof connection (all roof types), host wall and apertures are also available for architects to create the details for Building Control
Can I extend a conservatory base to make a bigger extension?
Yes, this is possible. However, if you are extending the base, you will most likely need a Building Regulation Approval (only conservatories below 30m2 are exempt). To comply with building regulations the existing base may need to be insulated. Any extension to the base will need to comply with Building Regulations and some underpinning of the existing base may be required. You will need to consult with your Building Regulations Approver before commencing basework.
Can I hang heavy items such as kitchen cabinets to the hup! walls?
Yes you can. There are suitable plasterboard fixings for certain situations, but you may prefer to counter batten/plyboard to add extra support.
