Have a read of this. Think it's a few years old but it's scary reading

I'm bumping this to the next page. It's very comprehensive and explains the cladding and it's core materials. After reading that I can see no good reasonWhy they would put it on buildings

Someone's going to jail.

Even the manufacturers' own instructions state that these panels shouldn't be fitted above 10 metres

Is the use of this material above its recommended height unique to this building or even unique to this council ?

Here's the details of the PE cladding material used and how it was testes. It's a good read.

I just fail to see how PE cladding passed BS476 parts 6 & 7 to be class 0 compliant without being at least fire retardant.
I guess this will be one of the major enquiry issues.

I imagine the media will be camped outside their house for some time to come.

The whole building process was filmed on time lapse cameras so that should be good evidence
