Introduction
• Before tall and sophisticated skyscrapers came around, we had regular buildings 
and towers like the Hockmore Tower in Oxford. 
• Cladding panels, which are used to provide weather resistance and thermal 
insulation in homes, was placed on this and a few other towers in Oxford.
What is being used to replace HPL rain screens on the Oxford 
•Building?The most viable alternative that the council could use to replace the HPL screens 
on the Oxford Building was aluminium composite (ACM) rain screens. This didn’t 
go down well with a lot of people because it was the same type of cladding that 
contributed to the Grenfell Tower and Lakanal House fires.
• However, the Hockmore Tower is quite different from the other towers where 
tragic incidents had occurred. The Oxford Building has a sprinkler system in its 
flats, an evacuation policy and fire breaks in its cladding system.
What is the safest cladding option to use on a tower or building?
• The three things to look out for when searching 
for a cladding to use are the required 
maintenance, aesthetics and safety of the 
cladding. 
• Stone, brick, UPVC, timber and metal cladding 
may be difficult to grade on these criteria. 
However, one thing is certain; Tritec’s roofing 
claddings are the safest.
