From dark old conservatory to bright modern hup! extension

When these homeowners in Yorkshire decided to replace their existing conservatory, they were looking for far more than just an updated roof. Their old space had a polycarbonate roof with solid internal cladding, which made the room feel dark and uninviting. It let in very little natural light and, over time, the internal cladding had also started to create condensation issues.

They wanted to transform their old conservatory into a room they could truly enjoy all year round - somewhere bright, welcoming and practical for everyday living.

After researching their options, they came across K Glazing online and began exploring the Ultraframe range. What stood out most was the hup! system, with its modern construction method, speed of installation and the flexibility it offered in designing a completely bespoke new space.

The homeowners loved that hup! allowed them to choose exactly how they wanted the extension to look, from the wall layout through to the window and door configuration. They were especially impressed by the range of roof choices available from Ultraframe, along with the ability to include glass panels in the roof to maximise natural light.

Working closely with K Glazing, they designed a space that feels open, contemporary and tailored to the way they live. The finished extension includes two sliding doors meeting at the corner, allowing the room to open up beautifully in summer, along with a solid wall finished with timber cladding to create a striking modern appearance.

The completed transformation has changed the way the homeowners use their property. By opening up the back of the house, the new extension now forms part of an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. It is the room where they spend most of their time, whether relaxing day to day or hosting friends and family. The new extension has quickly become the heart of the home a light-filled, welcoming space where the family spends much of its time and enjoys hosting friends and family, and one they are proud to show off.

Speaking about the project, the homeowners commented “We love our new extension. Opening up the back of the house has created a modern open-plan kitchen, dining and living space that is now where we spend most of our time. We also loved how much design flexibility there was. We could choose the wall layout, the windows and doors, and exactly where we wanted glass panels in the roof to bring in natural light. The whole process was simple, easy and pleasant from start to finish. K Glazing supported us through the design, quotation, installation and aftercare, and the workmanship was of a really high standard.

Ultraframe offers a fantastic range of products and options, and hup! is an excellent solution for anyone looking to turn an old conservatory into a modern extension. We would absolutely recommend both Ultraframe and K Glazing.”
