SteamyTea Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 So it is a patent/copyright/IP dispute, nothing to do with actual building material quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s still a load of s**t that a company the size of saint gobain can go after the little guy like this. I’d just open source/leak all the designs and IP then tell them where to go.

Seems they collaborated, pinched ideas, then went after them. Add that to celotex fire test cheating....not a nice company. What can we do? This spreading of the word. Don't say celotex when meaning pir, and only buy any other brand. They own British Gypsum, Isover, Ecophon, Pasquill, and lots more. Perhaps materials enquiries could state to the BM..."do not quote for any St Gobain products". This is from the Grenfell inquiry almost three years before the 2017 disaster, colleagues alerted her that a safety test had been rigged with fire-retardant panels to boost the insulation’s fire performance, but the modifications were left out of marketing literature used by architects and specifiers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I still find it incredible that manufacturers can test their own product without 3rd party authentication to prove compliance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
