Hi!
In our house, the previous owners had a through-hole in the wall between two of the rooms so I can see all the way through. I'm curious about the durability of the wall and as someone completely unfamiliar with construction of all forms, I've tried googling different types of walls but can't find anything clear. The material is consistently the same, 90mm in thickness. The stud finder gives a full signal over the entire wall so I can't determine where any studs might otherwise be located.
Probably extremely simple for an experienced DIYer to assess but I would be very grateful if someone knows so I can start considering what is required for shelves and the like.
Thanks in advance!

Hello.
It's a bit hard to see, but it could be leca blocks.

No, it is not lecablock.
It looks like treetex, a kind of wood fiberboard. However, I've never heard of such a thick board.
Is it soft or hard?

Hi, thank you for your responses. I realize that the lighting is too poor and have tried to find angles for better light, but I'm not really getting any better quality pictures. It could be due to dirt on the lens as well, which makes it difficult for me to produce better images.
Anyway, it is some form of wood material. A Google search for Treetex gives a pretty good description of what it looks like, but the thickness feels odd. I think it fits quite well time-wise for the house's construction during the 60s as well. It's possible that it's a bunch of such boards in a row, as it actually feels like it's board <-> more porous part <-> board <-> more porous part <-> board, and so on in cycles.
