The fireproof quality of autoclaved aerated concrete material has already been well established in laboratory testing. This video shows how a wall assembly maintains its structural integrity under standardized test conditions that would destroy a conventional fire rated sheetrock wall. The NonWoodHouse™ model expounds on this to deliver an entire fire resistant building envelope.

A wildfire in California in 1993 swept through a residential neighborhood, destroying or badly damaging around 400 houses – but some notable specimens survived.

The choice to use good fire-resistant materials and construction principles can be the difference between a total loss and escaping almost unscathed.
