A nearby wooden bungalow was refurbished and the insulation improved
with Celotex a few years ago. I wonder if the occupants know that was
the stuff on the outside of Grenfell tower that burns at high
temperatures and gives off toxic fumes.
I have considered putting some Celotex in my attic and then covering
it with thin plywood so that I could walk on it but I have rather gone
off the idea, though if the house catches fire badly, I am unlikely to
want to go in the attic.
I covered mine (80%) in plasterboard.
If inadequately enclosed insulation board is the problem I can see all
sorts of problems ahead. On the house reproofing I've seen, celotex is
fixed between the joists against the internal plasterboard with no
covering to the outside.
