It is known for balustrades and partitions to be formed from a flat panel (2), such as glass, and for such panels to be anchored along a lower edge and substantially unsupported at an upper edge. Vertical alignment of such panels has been achieved by ensuring that the trough (4) in which they are anchored is itself precisely aligned on a horizontal, such that any flat panel (2) inserted therein stands in a vertical plane. According to the invention, a panel (2) may be aligned with its major face in a substantially vertical plane, even when the trough (4) is located with its base substantially not horizontal. In addition, the panel (2) may be held in the base of the trough (4) by the force of an adjustment part (16) on a first joint surface (12), thereby increasing stability of the panel (2). Furthermore, adjustment of the panel (2) may be made more simply than in prior art methods by means of the adjustment part (16) being more accessible to a user. |
