Siderise statement re Grenfell Tower Inquiry report

On behalf of everyone at Siderise we extend our deepest sympathies to the survivors and families of the bereaved and everyone in the wider community affected by this tragedy.

We commend all of the hard work that has gone into publishing the Inquiry report, and welcome all of the recommendations made.

We are grateful for the diligence with which the Inquiry report was compiled. We are pleased to note as expected that there was no criticism in respect of the performance of our products.  Further there was no finding by the Inquiry that our cavity barriers should not have been used in the refurbishment, nor any finding that their performance caused or contributed to the spread of the fire.

Siderise is the UK market leader in cavity barriers and firestops to protect fire from spreading around the building envelope on buildings of four storeys and above. We are a proud British manufacturer, exporting globally, and our products, systems and services have been proven time and again to protect the buildings that they are used in, if those buildings are built correctly. 

We remain committed to the Building Safety Agenda, and to providing the highest levels of technical support to those designing and constructing buildings across the globe, with our Mission to Go Beyond, creating safer buildings.

Yours faithfully,

Adam Turk

Chief Executive Officer
