hup! Base
The hup! Base makes a hup! extension build even faster and is suitable for most site conditions. With predictable costs and timelines, the new hup! Base also provides confidence in your pricing and makes your hup! projects even easier to manage.
No diggers are required and the need for skips is reduced and sometimes even eliminated. There is far less mess and dirt on site compared to a traditional build and the need for specialist bricklayers is eliminated.
Concrete pads can be used vs full foundations, and the system is also compatible with ground screws if necessary, requiring far less excavation work on each build and less concrete needed, which further speeds up each project and reduces the risk of weather delays.
hup! Base is fully Building Regulation compliant with a U-Value of 0.18 w/m2K and red tape is simplified with system pre-approval by Stroma for speedy compliance.

Concrete Pads
The hup! base is compatible with concrete pads which can be installed by any groundworks team and requires less cement and skips vs a traditional base. A plan of the pad location is supplied with your hup! base and breathable membrane is supplied.
To comply with Building Regulations concrete pads must be at least 450mm square and the base should be at least 150mm below the back cill to allow for adequate airflow.
Ground screws
No cement, less mess and less waste, the hup! Base is also compatible with ground screws.
Ground screws are supplied through a ground screw specialist and a local installer will be recommended by hup!. They will carry out an initial site visit to assess the lateral and vertical loadings in order to confirm the length and number of ground screws required. A quote will then be supplied to cover the site assessment, ground screws and installation.
A ground screw plan will be provided based on the base loads and ground screw connectors will be supplied with your hup! Base.
