There was no Rockwool in Grenfell. Hence the statement they put out:

If there had been a Rockwool layer under the cladding I presume that would have provided some meaningful heat savings.
I think that Jonathan Pie sketch nailed it - a veneer of giving a shit about the disadvantaged.

What efficiencies are the "upgrade" of cladding supposed to achieve? Are the heating savings significant, or are these "improvements" motivated more by the aesthetics?
