COMBUSTIBLE! MATERIALS BAN: WHAT WOULD IT MEAN?

摘要

Last week the government published its consultation into a ban on combustible cladding materials. The proposals are uncompromising: it suggests a ban on all combustible materials in the walls of buildings over 18m high. The government also wants to see an end to full-scale testing of cladding systems as an alternative means of compliance. This means the end of desktop studies, as these were meant to be based on the results from these tests.
