Er..ok..bless you too. Though I don't quite get what you two are on about. The OP is obviously talking about fire safety re: cladding on top of wood. So was I.

Thanks but this doesn't really answer the question. Kerms described the Grenfell cladding as "cheap aluminium stuff". Your link to the Independent merely shows that a batch of it cost less than a batch of some alternative. I'm just trying to understand what was meant by the adjective "cheap" in this example. A top of the range Mercedes costs a lot less than a top of the range Ferrari, but I wouldn't describe a Mercedes as "cheap". It seems the cladding used cost £22 per square metre -The fire-resistant version would have been £24 per square metre.So, c. 8.5% cheaper. In terms of what the overall difference in cost would be re the main stand,sorry no idea. Edited by legaleagle (02 Jul 2017 11.22am)

Would it help, and make you less confused, if I edited it with the comparative instead? I'm not confused, but yes - "cheaper" would make more sense, especially as another poster has now enlightened us that the unit price between the zinc and aluminium alternatives isn't particularly great. But I suspect you used "cheap" with critical intent. Anyway, I'm certainly - like you - confused by the subsequent timber-related "teasing" of your post. I've no idea what those posters were on about either!!

As for the price - it was the cheap(er) alternative of two but still what a rip off, eh?
