Panels a few mm thick wouldn't catch fire like at Grenfell, whereas 100mm/150mm thick blocks of inflammable insulation that encased the building, would. Those type of blocks can be found up and down the country in houses. |

According to residents, the building on fire was Block D of the New Providence Wharf Estate.
The development, owned by Irish company Ballymore, has 1,535 apartments across a number of buildings and houses a Radisson Blu hotel.
About 20% of Block D's façade features ACM PE cladding panels, which were found to be a key factor in the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017.
Work to replace the cladding was "under way" and the main contractor had been due to take possession of the site on Monday, according to Ballymore.
