The insulating material, which has been developed by Mr. Walter Tasser of Pfalzen in South Tyrol (Italy), is based on the insulating properties of the wool (Wolle) and a natural stabilizer to improve the structural properties of the panel (Kalk, therefore WEKA).
The physical properties have been improved through combination with a natural alkaline solution (patent pending) to result in a rigid board ready for direct installation as an outer layer of the wall. No fiberglass or dry walls are required.
This allows the panel to act as the 'breathing skin' of the wall and to improve the living comfort. Wool is known to be able to adsorb moisture and is an efficient humidity control.

Where does the wool come from?
The high quality wool from sheep in the Italian Alps is washed and treated with lime to obtain the best available wool panel product.
Only in the USA 36 Mio. lbs of wool are available, while wool with shorter fibers is not used in textile but for insulation.
Macroeconomic impact of the WEKA panel invention
From the brilliant mind of a veteran in the building sector, Walter Tasser, comes the breakthrough in this line of new insulation products.
The WEKA panel using wool provides a new source of income for wool suppliers and keeps farmers employed.
Insulation contractors are gaining access to a local and sustainable source of insulation materials with the opportunity to install the WEKA panels as certified contractors.
