Abstract
A strip-form connector for spaced metal parts such as aluminium plates or components of windows or doors, is devised so as to perform an insulating or non-cold-bridge as well as fastening function. Basically it is made up of a hollow elongate body of plastics material with a more rigid fastening strip which is driven into the body so as to enlarge it into gripping engagement with the metal parts.
