The mullions of a curtain walling assembly are provided with an integral T-section portion defining two recesses arranged to receive edge portions of adjacent panels. The transomes 50 have a detachable T- section facing strip 80 likewise defining recesses and include hook section members 78 interengageable with a hook-section projection 70 of the transome. A load bearing strip 84, a spacer 86 and a sealant 88 serve together to lock the facing strip in position. <IMAGE>
