It SPREAD at an alarming rate. That will be due to the design of the installation. The insulation is expected to burn, but not to spread beyond that section. The plans indicate a pretty much uninterrupted continuous surround of the insulation. That allowed it to spread.

As we previously stated, our records show a Celotex product (RS5000) was purchased for use in refurbishing the building. This product has a fire rating classification of Class 0, in accordance with British Standards. Celotex RS5000 is the insulation component specifically tested as part of a system to British Standard BS8414-2:2005. When the system is designed and installed in line with this, RS5000 meets the criteria set out in BRE Report BR 135 ‘Fire performance of external thermal insulation for walls of multi storey buildings.’

Another building shown on ITV news was a clear example of a system not being designed and/or installed, in line with the recommendations.
