A pair of corner members (6, 7) engage with the cross and upright reveal members (3, 4, 5, 120, 130) in a spigot (30) and socket (18, 23, 16, 22) type joints. Each reveal member (3, 4, 5) and corner member (6, 7) includes an alignment flange (27, 32) which projects laterally from the reveal and corner members (3, 4, 5, 6, 7) to engage a surrounding frame. The assembly also includes a window sill (2) comprising an outer sill (50) and an inner sill (51) which are snap fitted together. The outer sill (50) is formed with air ventilation means (63, 64, 66) and condensate drainage means (85, 86, 87, 88). Alignment means for aligning the sill in use is provided by a flange (76) extending downwardly from the bottom wall (55) of the sill (50). Means for directing water away from the sill is provided by a drip lip (95). Keying to a bed of mortar on which the sill (50) is mounted is through a dovetail keying groove (75) in the underside of the sill (50).
