LONDON, United Kingdom (AFP) — The United States supplier of cladding encasing London’s Grenfell Tower before it was destroyed by a devastating fire announced on Monday it was stopping sales of the material for high-rise buildings.
“Arconic is discontinuing global sales of Reynobond PE for use in high-rise applications,” a company spokesman told AFP.
The firm put the decision down to “issues that have arisen in the wake of the Grenfell Tower tragedy” and differences in building regulations around the world.
