They were talking about the Grenfell Tower on TV this morning and said the insulation that caught fire was Celotex.

Dodgy stuff indeed.

In domestic situations it is always buried behind plasterboard, and hence protected from fire.

According to their website (or at least 3 weeks ago it did) they are no longer supplying the 5000 series of boards due to failing a fire test they did not expect it to fail, nor understand why it failed.
