Simply the Healthier Wall~ Japanese Wall, otherwise known as the Zen Wall, has graced the walls of Japanese temples, castles, homes and teahouses for over a century. An exquisite substance which successfully fuses the aesthetics of both the classical and the avant-garde, it is now used extensively in modern architecture, where it exudes its old world meets new world charm in both residential and commercial buildings. We love Zen Wall!

Diatomite Earth - Filtering the Health Hazards
Dead cells of planktons in Japanese Wall??? Don't worry. Check out what makes it so special...
Diatomite Earth (DE) is a naturally occuring substance, comprised of the fossilized remains of planktons or green algae. Two to three million years ago these fossils accumulated along sea beds, rivers and lakes to form a soft chalk-like sedimentary rock. The typical chemical composition of diatomaceous earth is 86% silicon, 5% sodium, 3% magnesium and 2% iron.
The many beneficial characteristics of DE are mainly a result of microscopic pores in the planktons. It can be used as a filtration aid, mild abrasice and mechanical insecticide. Beer makers use it too! In Japanese Wall, it can absorb and disintegrate odors, VOC and formaldehydes!
A clean, healthy environment for our loved ones. ^^
