Last night it was up to 75 (all failed). Not looked today.
You have to be careful though apportioning blame - the panels themselves are aluminium top and bottom with summat sandwiched between the 2.
The manufacturer of the panels only do the aluminium facings. Then another manufacturer puts in the filling of the dì'ìsandwich. -these 'base panels' can be specified normal (PE) or fire resistant (FR). That's where the selection/design process comes in. The manufacturer of the sandwich aluminium facings provides guidelines and recommendations for the design. THEN ..... insulation can be added to the inside of those sandwich panels. Which brings another 'culpable' cpmpany into play. So potentially aìwe have let's dìsay 5 entities with responsability, which varies:
- the manufacturer of the external aluminium sheets
- the manufacturer of the sandwich (including the flling)
- the supplier of any thermal/noise insulation stuck to the inside
- the overall designer of the whole caboodle
- the housing association who run the block
- the council who are supposed to oversee and give the thumbs up

... that's at least 6 in fact.
As you can see it will get very messy when each is fighting his corner.
