YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSince the fire at Grenfell Tower, high rise blocks across the UK have had cladding that failed government tests removed.
Alternatives that are rated either non-combustible or of limited combustibility have been taking their place - and because of their fire-safe rating, they don’t need to pass full system tests.
