There have also been dramatic tower fires linked to the aluminium panels with polyethylene core in the United Arab Emirates,South Korea and the United States.
Mark,45,a witness to the Wednesday's London fire,said the Greenfell Tower had recently been renovated with cladding added to the outside. He believed the cladding caused the fire's intensity.
"It was burning like paper,it wasn't the building,it wasn't the structure. That cladding - it was just like throwing fuel on the fire."he said.
