We expect building owners to be systematically reviewing the safety of their buildings as a matter of course. In consultation with the Independent Expert Advisory Panel, the Government has provided advice to building owners about common non-Aluminium Cladding Material (ACM) external wall systems, including ones using Metal Composite Materials, High Pressure Laminates (HPL) or External Wall Insulation (EWI) with a render or brick-slip finish.

The Research commissioned into Non-ACM cladding has not yet completed. We expect to receive a final report in the spring.
