Insulation manufacturer says description of product did not affect way refurbishment of tower was carried out
Celotex has admitted “unacceptable conduct” over the way it described its insulation in its marketing – but insisted this had no bearing on the decision of others to use it on Grenfell Tower.
The inquiry heard that in 2014 the materials firm added other products to a BRE test of its cladding system to show that its RS5000 product, which was subsequently used on Grenfell Tower, was safe for use on tall buildings.
