Celotex and Grenfell Tower: Updates and information

The Grenfell Tower fire in June 2017 was a terrible tragedy. Celotex, and the Saint-Gobain Group, reaffirm their deepest sympathies to everyone who has been and continues to be affected by the fire.

This site provides information on Celotex’s RS5000 product and on Celotex’s participation in the Grenfell Tower Inquiry.

The Inquiry hearings concluded with closing statements in November 2022 and the Inquiry is expected to publish its Phase 2 report in 2023. Celotex, with the support of the Saint-Gobain Group, has cooperated fully with the Inquiry in order to find out what happened and to ensure it does not happen again.

Since the Grenfell Tower fire, Celotex has undertaken a review of its process controls, quality management and approach to marketing to address issues discovered as part of its investigations following the Grenfell Tower fire and ensure that no such issues reoccur. Celotex recognises that this is an ongoing process. It is committed to continuous improvement.

Celotex welcomes Phase 2 of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry. As part of Phase 2, the Inquiry will be considering a large number of complex and inter-related issues in connection with the fire, including the design and installation of a multi-component rainscreen cladding system, of which insulation manufactured by Celotex, formed one element. The first part of the Inquiry will focus on the primary refurbishment.

We endorse the need to find out what happened and to ensure it does not happen again. We are committed to assisting the Inquiry with its work and re-affirm our deepest sympathies to everyone who has been and continues to be affected by the fire.
