Apparatus for coupling a first (13) and a second (15) hybrid frame component of a window or door together, wherein said first and second frame components each comprise a core (17, 19) to which a fascia panel (25, 27) has been coupled, each of said cores including an internal void (29), the apparatus comprising: a first coupling component (30) having first (39(i)) and second (39(ii)) arms that each have a distal end and a proximal end, said first and second arm distal ends being coupled together so that said second arm (39(ii) extends generally perpendicularly from said first arm (39(i)), said proximal end of said first arm (39(i)) being receivable within the void (29) of said first component core (17) and said proximal end of said second arm (39(H)) being receivable within the void (29) of said second component core (19), and means (40) for coupling said proximal end of said first arm (39(i)) to said first component core (17), and for coupling said proximal end of said second arm (39(H)) to said second component core (19) to thereby couple said first frame component (13) to said second frame component (15). |
