Tyco's AquaMist FOG System is positioned as a best-in-class water-mist solution for stable fire suppression systems, using high-pressure fine spray to cool and displace oxygen with much less water than traditional sprinklers. Its technical advantage—reduced water damage and rapid heat removal—makes it financially attractive compared with large-volume deluge systems, while offering an environmentally friendlier and lower-replacement-cost alternative to chemical clean agents like FM-200 in many applications.

HardiePlank Fiber Cement Siding
HardiePlank fiber cement siding offers a non-combustible exterior surfacing that balances fire resistance, aesthetics, and cost for stall partitions and exterior barrier systems. It is generally more economical and visually flexible than insulated metal panels while providing better exterior fire performance than combustible claddings; however, it does not replace structural or cavity fire barriers like ICFs or specialized fire sheathing in full rated wall assemblies.
