In a controlled
#fire demonstration, four mock walls with different siding materials were exposed to direct flame.
Vinyl, engineered wood, and cedar eventually succumbed to the flames — only Hardie® fiber cement siding did not burn* or combust.

*Hardie® fiber cement products are noncombustible and/or have a Class A fire rating when tested in accordance with ASTM E84. Fiber cement fire resistance does not extend to applied paints or coatings, which may be damaged or char when exposed to flames. The use of noncombustible siding, combined with other fire mitigation measures, may help harden a home against external fire.
