yea but how sturdy is it? and how much can it absorb heat?

It mentioned heat insulation, but not withstanding heat, but I'm sure the concrete would break down in heat before, or atleast at the same time the fiber optic crap inside of it. I don't think your house will be in danger of a volcano any time soon..
