hup! walls for modular house extensions

Strong, efficient and built faster

At the heart of every modular house extension, hup! walls use patented Ultrapanel technology to combine steel, timber and high-performance insulation in one precision-engineered system. Manufactured under controlled factory conditions, each wall is BBA approved and designed for long-term strength, thermal efficiency and consistent build quality.

When comparing modular extension cost, it is important to consider more than the initial price alone. Build speed, insulation, reduced time on site, usable internal space and long-term durability all contribute to the overall value of the finished extension. Strata can help you compare these factors alongside a traditional build before you decide which route is right for your home.

Patented Ultrapanel technology

The Ultrapanel system used within hup! walls combines timber, steel and high-performance insulation in a unique patented design. By combining the strength of steel, the versatility of timber and exceptional thermal efficiency, Ultrapanel creates a robust, highly insulated structure that minimises thermal bridging and delivers outstanding energy performance.

Rapid construction

The rapid clip-fit technology used throughout hup! walls and roofs allows your extension to be constructed up to five times faster than traditional building methods. Designed for all-weather installation, a smaller hup! extension can typically be built and made watertight in just 2–3 days, helping to reduce weather-related delays and disruption on site.

Light and slim

Due to their lightweight construction, hup! walls can often be installed on an existing suitable base, where heavier traditional brickwork may require a new foundation. Their lighter design also makes the panels easier for installation teams to handle, helping to support a faster build process.

Because hup! walls are slimmer than traditional brick-built walls, they can also create around 10–15% more usable internal floor space within the same external footprint.

Energy Efficient

hup! walls are 6% more energy efficient than a fully Building Regulations-compliant wall, thanks to the high proportion of advanced insulation built into each panel. This enhanced thermal performance helps reduce heat loss and supports a more comfortable, energy-efficient extension.

Precision-built quality for every modular house extension

Off-site manufacture, same result every time

hup! walls are produced in controlled factory conditions rather than assembled on site, so the quality of a modular house extension in Stoke-on-Trent matches any other hup! project nationwide.

Fast to build, finished your way

On site, the same wall assembles five times faster than traditional brickwork and still accepts any external finish, including brick, render or cedar, with any window and door configuration.

hup! technology | Independently tested for long-term performance

The patented Ultrapanel system carries a minimum 60-year life expectancy, awarded by the British Board of Agrément (BBA) following independent testing and assessment. It's not simply a figure we've come up with ourselves - the system has been independently tested and verified, giving you confidence in its long-term performance.

What are hup! walls made from?

hup! walls are constructed from a patented combination of timber, steel and insulation, manufactured under controlled factory conditions before reaching site. This gives a consistent U-value of 0.17 on every wall, regardless of weather during the build, unlike a traditional brick and block wall.

How does the hup! wall system differ from other panel-built extensions?

hup! walls use patented technology exclusive to the hup! network, not a generic panel system used elsewhere in the industry. The build is BBA approved and rated for a 60-year lifespan through Ultrapanel technology, with manufacturing that produces zero waste in production and on site, and is ISO 14001 accredited throughout.

What affects modular extension cost?

Modular extension cost is driven mainly by the size of the extension, glazing choices and exterior finish, since the wall panel specification itself is fixed and BBA approved on every project. Strata breaks this down clearly during the quote stage rather than quoting a single flat figure.
