[quote:2c632]A wall made of “LitraCon” allegedly has the strength of traditional concrete but thanks to an embedded array of glass fibers can display a view of the outside world, such as the silhouette of a tree, for example.[/quote:2c632]

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..
