Quality of Life, Designed in DetailConstruction Quality, Well-being, Safety These are the values that fischer puts forward when a Building Envelope is discussed.

Maximum importance paid to every detail is the contribution that we guarantee for each architectural work.Because for us at fischer, it’s not enough for the project to be significant in terms of volume, but great care also must be taken in the definition of its specifications.The pleasure comes from seeing something that is well done, prepared and thought out, where the need to control costs and construction times does not jeopardize the final outcome.

The design engineer seeks success: his own and that of his client.He’s also seeking a “personal” satisfaction. fischer’s objective is to meet this requirement.

A solution where:Well-being means energy savings, comfortable buildings, respect for the environment and aesthetics.

Safety is the certainty of being able to rely on products which are certified in accordance with the strictest European and international standards and tested to resist seismic stress and fire damage.

Real Solutions, Clear Answers,Constant Updating:fischer is more than a product Thanks to its cutting-edge technology and proven expertise, fischer offers sure guidance to guarantee the maximum. Always.Tested and certified quality products and systems and a range of complete services for the designer guarantee excellence in planning and safe implementation.Updates, attention to new planning, technical and construction applications, comparisons with international practices: fischer always bears these objectives in mind to maintain its leading position in the world of fixings.

Design Consulting fischer supports the designer through consultations during the planning stage as well as in the selection and the dimensioning of fixing systems.fischer accompanies professionals from planning to the worksite, assessing the specifications and targeted requirements to produce the most technically appropriate solution.fischer’s solutions ensure maximum quality and safety through international testing and certification and laboratory tests carried out by skilled technicians at its headquarters.

Worksite Assistance fischer’s technical assistance is present at the worksite to supply specialist support in the correct use and installation of its systems and solutions.This is fundamental, especially for application environments that are particularly complex and specialized, such as large-scale construction projects and applications in seismic safety setting environments.

Training fischer’s training area carries out ongoing training activities through a course on the fixing of claddings developed in line with standards, theory and applications.

Technical Information Service Skilled contact persons, who are knowledgeable about the product, its applications and the construction industry, provide a rapid response, even during the initial telephone call.

Applications, Technical Manuals, Dedicated Software fischer’s know-how and experience are collected in many technical publications: “Structural Anchoring in Buildings”, the book “Building Envelope. Constructing Quality” and the brand-new manual “Systems and Solutions for Construction in Seismic Areas”. The software applications “Compufix” and “Fixing Systems and Solutions for Cladding” are also available in updated versions.

More Energy Savings,More Environmental Protection. Technological innovation serving mankind and the environment: this is the principle which inspires fischer in the design and production of all its products, specifically, of fixings for insulation materials. Different insulation materials, ranging from cork to rock wool to polyurethanes are increasingly being used to cover and protect the walls of buildings. Always sensitive to these issues, fischer has made a valuable contribution by developing a complete range of fixing elements for insulation panels which can be applied onto different types of walls.

An Innovative Solution That Reinvents Tradition. A system with simple lines and a clean design that ensures structural safety and at the same time, tends to conceal itself within the actual building. fischer’s know-how and its fixings’ guarantee also extend to glass buildings. It is a unique material, considered historical due to its long tradition of use; however, it is constantly being renewed in creative and unusual solutions for modern architecture.

fischer FZP-G is a type of mechanical undercut anchor fixing which calls for the panel to be mounted on a substructure which, while allowing for universal use, is adapted to the specific design on each occasion. The panel’s non-perforated surface offers many advantages from a structural and usage point of view and guarantees greater resistance to stress in the mounting as well as the onsite phases.

Invisible „Skin“ Fixation even with Earthquake-Proof. The FZP undercut bolt, in particular, is the result of constant research aimed at the creation of increasingly sophisticated products for the fixing of cladding to natural stone, marble, ceramics and fibre cement.No comprehensive instructions exist in current standards either on the design criteria or on the tests to be performed on fixings for façade claddings in the areas indicated as being most at risk.This is despite the fact that the ventilated cladding is a delicate element of the building, which must be appropriately calculated and set to guarantee its grip in the case of a seismic event. In fact, the load-bearing frame of the fixing system has the very important purpose of allowing anchorage of the panels to the wall, performing the entire static function.fischer Structure Easy with FZP fixing has passed tests on vibrating tables at the Eucentre in Pavia aimed at verifying its seismic resistance.

Ventilated Cladding: Aesthetics,Functionality, Safety. Besides its stunning architectural quality and refined impact, ventilated cladding ensures environmental comfort, energy efficiency and easy maintenance, which is non-invasive and whose costs are controlled. Indeed, it allows for almost unlimited freedom in planning, and great ease of installation. The “skin” can follow the building, adhering tightly, or produce shapes, develop and fill volumes, tapering the lines according to the concept planned by the design engineer.

In the application of cladding panels using mechanical anchorage, fischer offers the F10 pointed fixing and the FZP undercut bolt fixing, stressfree and locking fit, together different subframe systems.and locking fit, together different subframe systems.
