Grenfell cladding company tells inquiry it did not check the design met fire safety requirements
The company which installed cladding blamed for fuelling the Grenfell Tower fire has told an inquiry into the blaze that it did not check the design met fire safety requirements.
Mr Bailey said his firm was deceived that the insulation used on the project was safe for high-rises. "Celotex made a big, big deal about their products being suitable, specifically designed for building over 18 metres.A Class 0 fire safety certificate is the minimum requirement for external surfaces of buildings.
He said"there is a raft of layers with Harley, with the architect, with the fire consultants, with building control to ensure that the... design is compliant."
