  1. Perhaps someone could advise your readers where the Building Regs ALLOW combustible cladding of the sort used at Grenfell and elsewhere.

  2. Good point they won’t find it.

    The Gov is set to ban combustible cladding? what does that mean? they are just thinking about it?

  3. Under the Approved Document, combustible cladding is allowed in two ways. 1) Combustible national Class 0/Euro Class B outer cladding is allowed under the Linear Route; 2) combustible insulation with or without combustible outer cladding is allowed on the basis of a system test.

    Under the post-Grenfell government ‘intepretation’ (really misrepresentation) of the guidance, the first of these routes has been closed off. But combustible cladding materials can still be used on the basis of a system test.
