520			_aDiscusses the problem with the flammability of sandwich boards used in shed construction. Describes how the material is popular with the food industry as it is a good insulator and is extremely hygienic but the Association of British Insurers (ABI) has found that the expanded polystyrene contributes to the rapid spread of fire. The insurance industry has been increasingly unwilling to cover these buildings with a recent deal for a sandwich panelled shed being called off because the costs to insure it were too great. Argues the solution for existing property would be to reclad the building with a more fire-resistant material. For future design, the costs of materials need to be looked at in relation to increased insurance costs.
