Abstract

An edge mould (36) in the form of an aluminium extrusion, has a male portion (104) and a female portion (106), the latter being defined by at least legs (105, 109). The mould, when attached to a panel edge, enables the panel to be reversible, the male and female portions of abutting moulds mating to locate the two moulds and panels and to provide a sound and drought seal at the join between two panels. The male portion (104) may have a seal (132) in a channel (108) to assist in sealing abutting moulds. Panels using such edge moulds may be used in operable wall systems and in shopfitting systems. A locking arrangement for a support element, has a lateral channel (192) with a restricted entrance (212), in which a plate (202) is slidable, the plate (202) having a threaded aperture to receive a threaded bolt (210), the shank of which may pass through the entrance (212), an object being able to be removable secured to the channel by being located on the bolt, and the bolt being tightened to clamp channel-defining portions between the plate (202) and the object.
