Structurally engineered
- No need for a structural engineer - calculations built into design software.
- Using a NASA database, the roof is postcode engineered to
withstand extreme weather at site six-digit postcode.
- Advanced hup! software instantly validates structural requirements of complex designs.
Unrivalled quality
- Wind tested in winds up to 130mph.
- Independently fire tested.
- BBA approved chassis based on the hup! glass roof.
- Assessed and pre-approved for building control by
MFA.
Site friendly
- Patented speedlocks make complex roof shapes easy and fast.
- 100% pre-manufactured - No cutting or drilling required on site.
Shaped glass panels
Shaped glass panels can be installed in virtually any position within the roof to maximise daylight. All performance glass specifications can be integrated, ensuring high thermal and acoustic performance throughout
Energy efficient
- U-Values as low as 0.12W/m2K.
- Selection of high performance glazing with low U-values.
- Solar control glass to optimise the solar gain and reduce
energy consumption.
- Insulated internal pelmet minimises heat loss at roof line.
Low-Cost design
- Shaped glazing creates unique designs and provides light exactly where it’s needed.
- Cost effective for complex roof designs and pitch variances.
- Grey finish creates a contemporary look or a traditional leaded seam roof look.
- Choice of 4 cornices to add shape and style to the roofline.
Building Regulations
As hup! is pre-approved for Building Regulations, this makes compliance extremely fast and simple.
Your hup! builder can choose to work with MFA or a independent Building Control Approved Inspectors. MFA are extremely experienced in every component in a hup! build and can sign off your project with minimal red tape.
Working with these independent Building Control Approved Inspectors for your hup! Building Regulation compliance is a simple alternative to working with your Local Authority.
Any questions?
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 use hup for a down stairs bathroom extension?
Yes - many hups are built with bathrooms.
Can I extend my hup! in the future if I ever need to?
Yes, you can extend your hup! On request hup! can provide extra parts to secure the old walls to the new walls and also the new walls if required too.
Can we use goalposts to support openings?
Yes - this can be supplied by Ultraframe or you can source yourself. The Ultraframe goalpost sits inside the door frames and is not hidden in the wall.
Can I put hup! on an existing base?
As long as there is no sign of movement and the base is min 150mm concrete, yes you can. This is because hup! will be lighter and not sufficient extra load to cause an issue. You will need to show proof that the base is in good condition for Building Control.
