Social landlords have called for “greater clarity” over
whether Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) panels on tower blocks could be safe
despite failing the government’s combustibility test. The government said its
independent expert fire safety panel will consider “early next week” whether
ACM panels can be used safely as part of a wider external wall system “and
therefore could remain on a building under certain approved circumstances”.
Grenfell Tower was believed to have ACM panels with a polyethylene core. A
number of landlords have already torn down cladding from their tower blocks
after it failed the government’s combustibility test. Read more on Inside
Housing.
