BPF Tackles RIBA on Camberwell Fire

The BPF has written to the RIBA Chief Executive asking for the opportunity to present on the fire behaviour of PVC-U and questioning RIBA advice to its members on handling the media. This follows ill-founded newspasper comments by a RIBA Council member claiming that PVC windows were responsible for the recent, tragic Camberwell fire. Not only had architect Sam Webb given an error- laden description of PVC's fire characteristics, it was subsequently revealed that there were no PVC windows in the building.
