Fischer has recently developed the FZP-G-P point fixing system for glass. This system is designed for facades. It however has other potential uses. A series of test specimens using the FZP-G-P connections were made and mechanically tested. The results of the tests are described and the consequences for other usages are shown.

Several design concepts using innovative for using the FZP-G-P connector are shown, all of which have been validated.
