Re: Tower Block fire in London?

it's almost certainly misleading. they would have been asked to comment on its appearance, not on its fire-retardant core. why would the designers ask the residents is they approved of the cladding having a fire retardant core ? it's nonsense. Who knows what they said and if it was verbal or on a l...

Re: Tower Block fire in London?

They were going to use cladding with a fire retardant core and instead went for cheaper cladding with a pure plastic core that wasn't fire retardant. I don't think people are going to view that as cosmetic. obviously that's not going to go down well, but in reality I suspect the convo was more : "w...

Yep- it's what was behind the actual cladding that's the issue, the zinc/aluminium is cosmetic. The council would have been pummelled if it came out later they could have saved the money.
