Think about how hard it is to burn a phone book (remember them)? They don't ignite easily because its so dense, no trapped air in there. These panels are similar. From the outside there is a cladding over the top anyway which is suited to the Bushfire Attack Level of your area.
That's so interesting Matt. How does that mix of materials cope with fire? I imagine it has to be better than timber?

Hi Matt, how large was this home in total? Would this type of material be suitable for a large home? Say 50 squares?
Hi Melad. This home is 117msq, or 12 squares. There's no limit on the size of building you could make with SIPs.
