Very interesting video! And yes, some home insurance companies give the homeowners discounts for using fire-safe siding products.

What a fun demonstration. As Johnny would say, "Well, that is some weird, wild stuff. Wacky.... weird, wild stuff!"

That's cute, BUT...If you do a real test, then include the sheathing with the appropriate building paper and clearances as well. To simply put concrete fibers up to fire isn't the only criteria. If it was, then put it to test against brick !!!

tbob404, not including the sheeting in all 3 makes it a fair test. It's a test of the materials, not a test of construction.

[tbob404]

not a fair test there isn't even any sheating on the wall
