Default Grenfell Tower - Celotex

A nearby wooden bungalow was refurbished and the insulation improved

the stuff on the outside of Grenfell tower that burns at high
temperatures and gives off toxic fumes.


The last renovation work was visible, done to make the tower more
presentable to the nearby nimby wealthy residents. The media have been
directed to criticise this, taking the flak away from council failure
specify install water tanks, install sprinklers, and perform regular
maintenance.

Little to do with celotex.

Perhaps, there should be a contest to design heat resistant external
stairwells, that could be retrofitted to old tower blocks. Celotex would
probably be good for that.
