About us

Weepa is an Australian owned family company founded in the early 90s. The catalyst was the idea of a Queensland bricklayer-render who wanted to make weepholes look and function better.

Home in the early years was a farm shed on a Northern NSW mango orchard. The ambitions were modest - to help a farming family survive the ups and downs of life on the land.

A reverse sea change in 2006 to vibrant inner city Brisbane intensified the focus and shifted the pace from tractor to racing car!

November 2007 saw the launch of the first of a new generation of products, the High Performance Bushfire Weepa, winner of Best New Product Award at the 2008 Form and Function Expo in conjunction with the Royal Australian Institute of Architects. Next, in August 2008 came the complete range of New Generation Weepas incorporating design features of the High Performance Bushfire Weepa.

We strive to develop innovative patented products to solve particular problems with weepholes. Our commitment to research and industry consultation has seen us grow into a specialised dynamic company making a growing contribution to ‘best practice’ in the building industry.
