I cannot think of any building or structure that you would want to clad in a flammable material. I have yet to see any news organisation look into this properly.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12770161387449017266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6942478546968158905.post-21743545541295340722017-07-02T11:47:13.978+00:002017-07-02T11:47:13.978+00:00An article in the New York Times, on June 24th, wa...An article in the New York Times, on June 24th, was interesting. It stated that the makers of Reynobond PE, Arconic, has "marketed the flammable facades in Britain for years, even as it has adjusted its pitch elsewhere. In other European countries, Arconic’s sales materials explicitly instructed that “as soon as the building is higher than the firefighters’ ladders, it has to be conceived with an incombustible material.” An Arconic website for British customers said only that such use “depends on local building codes.”<br /><br />The article was headed "Why Grenfell Tower Burned: Regulators Put Cost Before Safety".
