Horn blares. A fantastic look of exasperation on his face. He has the most fantastic face. Did you ever see the 100 year old man who climbed out the window and disappeared . No. I know the one you mean, i didnt, sadly but i read about it. I struggled with that film, because it had that scandi humour think that i never really fell in with.

It is two bits of aluminium around the core of a substance. Some have plastic inside . Some do. In the fire the aluminium can expose what is on the inside. So in a fire that is dangerous. So Aluminium Composite Panels behave in an unusual way. We have two of the examples and a quote here. It shows that they say, they believe that the panels, if tested would believe the same as a test that they conducted with ceramic tiles. Aluminium composite panels do not behave in a fire in a similar way to ceramic tiles. The documents are handed over to a building inspector, and on the basis of them say that you have done the work, tick. We know that for example, this research was used in portsmouth in unite student accommodation. This is justifying stuff going on this buildings.
