TECHNOLOGY

La Foca uses the sandwich frame system, allowing different exterior finishing types: from exposed brick to plastering coat and wood. Insulation, inside the frames, is created thanks to different materials: glass wool, mineral wool, wood wool, etc.
The building supporting structure is made of wood. La Foca is able to develop very reliable production processes and construction techniques so to allow the creation of high capacity facilities, with multiple floors and mansarded roofs.
The Platform Frame, system can comply with any modular design and techniques in the wood made architectural building, exploiting a frame structure with high stability, earthquake proof and high heat seal features.
Every design by La Foca is carried out and tested by the Mitek 20/20 programme, whose filter of validation is in line with the in force Eurocode 5 standards.
The structures of the buildings by La Foca are therefore always adjusted and updated thanks to the combination between Italian standards and yet to be validated European Union directives.
