Ultraframe launches hup! base

Ultraframe has introduced a new base solution for its hup! building system, which is designed to speed up project builds and is suitable for most site conditions.

Ultraframe marketing director, Alex Hewitt, said: “The hup! system is all about bringing speed, certainty and simplicity to a build and we have taken this a step further now with the introduction of the new hup! base.

“Our customers have been asking for a base solution ever since we launched hup! as this is often where the most cost uncertainty lies, and we have listened and delivered. Suitable for most site conditions, it offers predictable costs and timelines for the base element of a hup! build and means that projects are easier to manage. Plus, ordering the hup! base couldn’t be simpler – simply add it to your hup! quote and we’ll do the rest.”

With the hup! base, Ultraframe says that diggers are no longer required and the need for skips is reduced, sometimes eliminated. It adds that there is also far less mess and dirt on site compared to a traditional build and the need for specialist bricklayers is eliminated.

The speed of building with hup! is reduced even further with the new hup! base as pads can be used vs full foundations, and the system is also compatible with ground screws if necessary. This means that there is far less excavation work to do on each build and less concrete needed, which further speeds up each project and reduces the chance of weather delays at the build stage.

Featuring 100mm PIR, the hup! base has a U-Value of just 0.18 w/m2K, and is fully Building Regulation compliant. The system has also been pre-approved for speedy approval by Stroma.

Alex concluded: “The new hup! base brings predictability to the base element of a hup! build and further speeds up the completion time for the overall project. As with the rest of the hup! system, once ordered there is complete cost certainty and a high-quality consistent result every time.”
