The revolutionary hup! building system explained

Patented hup! walls, BBA approved performance, and manufacturing precision that sets the hup! building system apart from any traditional build method

At the heart of every 5 Star hup! project is the revolutionary hup! building system, a patented approach to construction that delivers exceptional speed, energy efficiency, and quality. Designed and manufactured by Ultraframe, it is changing the way Worcester and Worcestershire homeowners think about extending their homes.

Patented hup! walls built for performance

Patented hup! walls are constructed from a patented combination of timber, steel and insulation, manufactured under controlled conditions for consistent quality and precision. Every panel is produced to exacting standards before arriving on site, which is why the hup! building system is typically watertight in less than a week. For Worcester homeowners, that means a faster, cleaner build with zero waste in production and on-site.

Super-strong i-beam structure

hup! wall panels are 68% stronger than a brick wall thanks to the collective force of the panels, which rapidly clip together to form a super-strong i-beam structure throughout your hup! extension.

Rapid connection details

hup!'s precision-engineered system and patented wall and roof connections help deliver a highly accurate build with no cold spots.

Its rapid clip-fit design allows the roof and wall panels to connect seamlessly, enabling a hup! extension to be built five times faster than a traditional build.

What is a structural insulated panel (SIP) extension?

A structural insulated panel, or SIP, is a composite building element consisting of two outer facing boards bonded to a rigid insulation core. It simultaneously functions as the structure, insulation and air barrier of the wall in a single, precisely manufactured component. The hup! system uses SIP technology as the core of every extension, delivering speed, thermal performance and structural precision that traditional methods cannot match.

What U-value does a hup! extension wall achieve?

hup! wall panels are engineered to achieve U-values well below the maximum permitted under current UK building regulations (Part L). The exact figure depends on panel specification, but the thermal performance is consistently superior to a standard cavity wall construction of considerably greater thickness, making every hup! extension in Worcestershire a genuinely energy-efficient addition to your home.

How are hup! panels manufactured and delivered to site?

hup! panels are manufactured using the Ultrapanel system in a controlled factory environment, produced to exact tolerances for each individual project. Once manufactured, the panels are delivered directly to site and installed by trained hup! network partner teams. The off-site production process ensures consistent quality, eliminates weather-related delays during manufacture and means the on-site installation phase is clean, fast and requires fewer trades than a traditional build.
