The present invention relates to structural couplings for forming of a variety of structures such as floor and wall panels for buildings and internal structures such as hand rails. The structural coupling comprises a structural component or components ( 1 ) provided with coupling leg formations ( 2 ) and locking flanges (F) and a channel section ( 8 ) which interconnect one with the other by means of a snap fit engagement ( 12 ) of the leg formations ( 2 ) of the structural component ( 1 ) with the channel section ( 8 ). This has considerable advantages over the prior art where nuts and bolts were needed to fasten the components together. The use of a common channel section which can be engaged by snap fit action provides an elegant and non-limited method of joining structural components together rather than in a direct fashion as with prior systems.
