Grenfell Report: Key findings from the inquiry

The inquiry found there had been “systematic dishonesty” from those who made and sold the cladding.

Arconic, a manufacturer, “deliberately concealed” the true extent of the danger of the cladding used to wrap Grenfell Tower. Fire tests it commissioned showed the cladding performed poorly but this information was not given to the BBA, a British private certification company tasked with keeping the construction industry up to date.

This “caused BBA to make statements that Arconic knew were ‘false and misleading’”, the report said.

Two firms made the insulation inside the cladding panels – Celotex and Kingspan.

Celotex made “false and misleading claims” about its product being suitable for Grenfell, said the inquiry. Kingspan, the inquiry said, misled the market by not revealing the limitations of its product.
