Grenfell should have had a Dry Riser.

No, Grenfell should *not* have had that disastrous cladding.

A fire resistant window to the flat where the fire started would have
avoided it getting to the cladding.


All the windows were replaced as part of the refurb. It was the
incorrect expanding PU foam sealant around the frame perimeter
that allowed the kitchen fire to get out into the external
cladding, where it spread rapidly.

The poor quality of the installation suggests that they went for the
lowest quote, which would not have been to fit fire resistant windows.
