Many people in the UK have an old conservatory that is completely unusable or only usable for a short window of time in the year. You may have inherited an old conservatory from a previous owner, or it has been several years since you had yours installed. Your conservatory may be far too hot in Summer, and in Winter, it is freezing.
Some conservatories are relegated to additional storage rooms or a place to dry laundry, leaving many homeowners feeling like they are missing out on living space in their own home. With a hup! glass roof conservatory conversion, you can transform your outdated conservatory into a beautiful, practical new room that you can use all year round, no matter the weather.
Glass Roof Conservatory Conversions Defined
A glass roof conservatory conversion involves transforming your old conservatory into a stunning hup! extension incorporating the hup! glass roof. Whether you are looking for a traditional style conservatory, more wall space or a more modern orangery aesthetic, anything is possible with the design flexibility of hup!.
Your hup! building team will first dismantle your current conservatory before building your new hup! conservatory on the existing base work. You can have as many walls as you like, thanks to the lightweight nature of the system. All of the components are made to measure, meaning there is no cutting needed on-site – minimising noise and disruption to your home. What’s more, hup! is five times faster to build than traditional methods, so you can enjoy your new conservatory in a matter of days!
Why You Should Convert Your Conservatory to hup!
The reality is that many old conservatories were designed as sunrooms and were not designed for year round use. Older glass specifications have poor thermal performance, so the building is badly insulated against fluctuating temperatures outside.
Glass technology has moved on and with a hup! glass roof conservatory conversion, these issues can be avoided. The hup! glass roof is the most thermally efficient glass conservatory roof system on the market. Our high performance glazing significantly reduces heat loss when compared to older materials like polycarbonate and low spec glass, and the roof itself is the market leader and engineered to control temperature and reduce condensation much better than other glass roof systems.
What’s more, you can swap outdated uPVC frames for a combination of solid walls, full-height glazing, and windows and doors in any configuration that you desire. With hup!’s lightweight materials, there is no need for additional foundations in order to incorporate solid walls – you can re-use the base work for your existing conservatory.
hup! is more than just a glass replacement conservatory roof; the energy efficient glass roof lets in plenty of natural light and maintains a bright and airy atmosphere in the room. The rest is up to you. hup! solid walls can be placed anywhere in the design, aiding thermal efficiency and allowing you to change how you use the room completely. Where there was glass in your old conservatory, now you can have a solid wall to hang a TV or kitchen cupboards – the possibilities are truly endless!
