Don't know when that video was made, But I would bet the cement panel roof is still holding up.

My house had Masonite plank siding on it when we moved in that was showing its age from wind and rain. I replaced it with the fibrous cement Hardy plank siding, My house insurance premiums dropped by 30%

I took a job finishing the siding on a house a home owner had started. I was told they were using James Hardie Plank siding. When I got there it was not, instead it was a Certainteed knock off product. The first plank I picked up I told the home owner, this is not Hardie Board. I told him I would not be able to stand behind any of stuff that I installed. He told me to go ahead and use up what he had, the next batch he bought was Hardie. You can see really see the difference 5 years after the job was finished, 1/2 the house looks good, the other half is cracked and warped. Saved a few dollars, but paid for it in the end.
