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 apertures. Changes to glazing are easy in the windows and walls, but significant changes to the roof design may necessitate a new roof. 

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. 

Yes - many hups are built with bathrooms. 

hup! kits are only available for single storey extensions or free standing single storey buildings. 

Yes, simply let us know where you want the internal walls, and we will place pattress panels in the walls to support. These can also be supplied if walls are added later. 

Yes, this is possible. The flue channel should be packed with mineral wool insulation.

To the underside of the ring beam is 110mm, and pad to the joist is 86mm. 

The roof system and hup! software will determine the maximum door size. Most hup! roof systems can be reinforced to take large spans of doors. 

1500mm is the maximum skirt size. 

Like other hup! products, the hup! base has a 10-year product guarantee. 

Yes, you can choose a plain skirt base which can be painted if you wish. 

You can choose from smooth red, rustic red, rustic buff or anthracite grey bricks to be used with a choice of red, sand or grey mortar. 

Yes - although Ultraframe does not supply the ground screws, we only supply the ground screw connectors. A specialist ground screw company will inspect the site and provide a separate quote. They will also provide the reports needed for Building Regulations approval of the ground screws installation. 

The hup! specification guide has a section on Lateral Forces and Lateral Stability. This outlines the minimum return sizes when an opening is parallel to the host wall structure. If carrying out structural calculations on a specific project, a racking calculation can be done as part of these calculations.

The sound will depend on the claddings chosen and the make up of the brick wall it is being compared with. If finished with render or brick slips, there will be very little difference vs a brick wall as the calcium silicate board does a great job of breaking up the sound.

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. 

You have 50mm to play with including the insulation and floor finish. Using a threshold this could be increased to 70mm, but the height of any existing internal doors would need to be considered. There are many floor insulation options on the market.
For Tiles you can choose Pro-Warm Tile backer which is available in 6mm (U-value 5.5W/m2K), 10mm(U-value 2.62W/m2K), 12.5mm or 20mm(U-value 1.65W/m2K) and 30mm U-value 1.1W/m2K). 
For other floors Eco-tec floor foam is only 6mm thick, or if you can use a threshold and want to be Building Regulation compliant you could use two Kingspan products. 
Kingspan TF70 which has a U-value of 0.55W/m2K (insulation only) and is 40mm thick +18mm chipboard. Any floor finish would need to be less than 12mm, to come in less than 70mm. 
Kingspan Optim R 20mm which has a u-value of 0.25W/m2K as a floating floor which can be used with a floating floor like laminate or used with a Fermacell 15mm board to adhere other finishes to. 

Yes it is. Whether you want to just replace one or two windows with a hup! wall or add hup! to existing walls to create a completely new look, hup! can easily cope.  You can choose between having a cill between the dwarf wall and the hup! wall and having a different wall finishes on the hup! or you can choose the full cladding option where the wall finish can run the entire height of the building for a more premium look. hup! works on both 250mm and 300m walls -the width of the existing wall must be specified at the time of order. If Building Regulations are required, you will need to bring the entire wall to 0.18 UValue. 

0.4 kilonewtons per meter squared.

0.4 kilonewtons per meter squared.

Any suitable fixing (for the substrate) with at least a 1 kilonewton pull-out force. You need to put fixings in every pre-punched hole, which are set at a minimum of 600mm. 

We would advise using a PVC trim or window board to fill the gap. 

Cable management panels can be specified beforehand to incorporate a trunking system at 450mm height, allowing the electrician to easily run cables along the wall to the desired locations. If running up the wall, the cable should run in a flexible conduit to separate it from the EPS insulation.

Yes - however you must consider what the room is used for. If there is high humidity, a vapour control layer may be required. This is not provided by Ultraframe and must be placed between the plasterboard and the steel clips.

In Scotland, these are needed as standard. In England, these need to be considered depending on location and external cladding. Please seek advice from your local building control. Standard details for cavity barriers (not provided by Ultraframe) are in the Building Regulation Packs available from Ultraframe. 

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.

Brick Slip Rails AND the brick slips are supplied by hup! Choose from a range of nearly 50 different bricks. If you cannot find an exact match, you can purchase the brick slips separately. 

Yes you can - ensure you use suitable fixings for dry wall anchoring such as Grip-it, or Bullfix heavy-duty dry wall anchor. 

Most cladding systems can be used with hup! If you are close to a boundary, you will need to make sure that 'protected areas' have adequate fire protection. The Calcium Silicate board has an A1 fire rating and must be combined with a cladding of at least a A2 fire rating to be suitable for a 'protected areas' near a boundary.

This depends on the type of render being used and the render manufacturer's recommendations. We use Kemwell board (Weatherkem). It's a calcium silicate rather than cement board so usually no primer would be required however, the installer should check manufacturer guidance on the render.

Most renders are appropriate - we do not recommend brands. This is up to you.

Yes - it is designed for this purpose and does not need any extra preparation vs any other render board.

We would suggest the Emperor Exterior Wall Protection paint.  It has a lifetime guarantee and costs £52 for 5 litres.

We would suggest painting the CS boards in a warehouse or somewhere under cover, individually then leave to dry. Once dry, they can be assembled into a wall and hinges into place using the boundary wall hinge solution.

hup! kits are only available for single storey extensions or free standing single story buildings. 

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

Yes you can. There are suitable plasterboard fixings for certain situations, but you may prefer to counter batten/plyboard to add extra support.

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.
