Save time and money with Ultraroof
A family from Lancashire have totally transformed their downstairs living space with a full-width hup! and Ultraroof extension – which despite its impressive size and constant heavy rain during the build - was watertight in just four days.
The house was bought over 10 years ago at a time when the two children of the family were very young. Over time and with the children now in their teenage years, the family had simply outgrown the space but loved the area their home was in and didn’t want to move.
Commenting about this stunning hup! project, Ultraframe Marketing Director, Alex Hewitt, said: “The reasons why the Hawksworth family wanted to extend their home are typical of many families. As children grow, our homes often become too small for that next stage of family life but moving is too expensive or inconvenient. This family had also felt that their home had always been missing a utility room to manage the laundry and cleaning equipment associated with a busy family away from their kitchen.
“By choosing hup! and Ultraroof for their new extension they have been able to add the valuable extra living space that they so needed in the form of a modern open plan space along with their much longed for utility room in an incredibly short period of time. The extension is 30sqm and is knocked through into the existing rooms on the back of the house, creating a huge sociable space that has totally changed how the family live in their home. Our Brand Ambassador, Laura Jane Clark, has been to visit and meet the family and she agreed that the new space is ideal for their family now and in the years ahead. She was especially drawn to the huge full length glazed panels in the Ultraroof and of course, that they had incorporated a utility – something that Laura believes no home should be without!”
The incredible speed of a hup! build meant that this busy family experienced very little mess or disruption and were soon able to start living in their stunning new space.
Ultraroof is a fantastic choice for projects such as this one where an external tiled finish is required, along with large areas of glazing to draw light into the room below. The popular tiled roof system offers a U-Value of just 0.15 and can handle spans of doors up to 4m without additional support thanks to its superior strength. Pairing Ultraroof with speedy hup! walls ensures a super-fast build as Ultraroof is the fastest solid roof on the market to install thanks to a host of features. Tiles are supplied in panels of 12 tiles, pre-cut to size and the roof itself is 100% pre-fabricated with no cutting required. Internally, no battening is required while an expandable panel and wide beam accommodate tolerances on site to further save time.
Externally, a choice of tile finishes and colours are available. These include Ultraroof slate tiles or shingle finish Metrotiles, which are currently on offer with a 20% discount vs Ultraroof slate.
Concluding, Alex said: “This project is a great example of how hup! extensions can totally transform family life without the many headaches associated with a traditional build. hup! and Ultraroof are a fantastic combination for extensions and conservatory conversions in a huge range of styles and sizes – and for those wanting a Metrotile finish, the current 20% saving on this finish offers fantastic value for money.”
