hup! building system - the energy efficient way to extend
Patented hup! walls bring timber, steel and insulation together into a single manufactured panel. Combined, they form the hup! building system, doing the job that a traditional build splits across several separate trades.
The hup! building system, explained
There are plenty of reasons hup! is the smarter way to build. The long timescales, mess and disruption, and budgets that quietly creep upward, common frustrations with a traditional build, are all designed out from the start with hup!.
How Ultrapanel technology powers every hup! extension
At the core of every hup! extension is patented Ultrapanel technology, an innovative construction system that combines the strength and precision of steel framing with the thermal performance and versatility of timber. Together, they make hup! one of the most energy efficient building systems available to UK homeowners today.
Tower Home installs hup! extensions across Chester and the surrounding area, delivering outstanding insulation with U-values as low as 0.12 to 0.17. That's the mark of a genuinely energy efficient building system, comfortably ahead of current Building Regulations.
Super strong i-beam structure
hup! wall panels are 68% stronger than a traditional brick wall, thanks to the combined force of the panels clipping rapidly together to form a super-strong i-beam structure that runs throughout your extension.
Rapid connection details
Precision-engineered components and patented wall-to-roof connections deliver an accurate fit on every hup! extension, designing out cold spots and locking in thermal performance from the start.
The clip-fit construction method is what makes hup! so quick to assemble, up to five times faster than a traditional build, without compromising on the quality or performance of the finished extension.
The thermal figures behind every hup! extension
With industry-leading U-values of 0.17W/m²K for walls and 0.14 to 0.15W/m²K across our roof systems, the hup! building system delivers exceptional thermal performance, making it one of the most energy efficient ways to extend a UK home today.
A lifespan with an independent check behind it
The patented Ultrapanel system carries a minimum 60-year life expectancy from the British Board of Agrément (BBA), awarded after rigorous independent testing and evaluation. It's the kind of third-party verification that gives every hup! extension real, lasting peace of mind.
Tried and tested by UK housebuilders nationwide
The Ultrapanel technology at the heart of the hup! building system has been adopted by leading UK housebuilders to construct new homes across the country.
Every material used on a new build needs sign-off from the NHBC, who insure the homes they approve. hup! carries accreditation from both the BBA and the NHBC, giving it the same standing as the technology trusted to build brand new homes.
