The method comprises the steps of : a) positioning the bracket element (30) on the fastening channel (18) so that a longitudinal opening (44) of the channel is blocked along the longitudinal extent of the bracket element (30), and providing upper and lower blocking elements (32) within the fastening channel (18) so that the upper and lower attachment ports (54, 56) are in between the upper and lower blocking elements (32) ; and b) forcing an adhesive (34) into one of the said upper and lower attachment ports (54, 56) until it appears in the other of the upper and lower attachment ports (54, 56). There is also provided curtain walling bracket apparatus (14) for use in such a method, and curtain wall mullion apparatus (10) wherein said curtain walling bracket apparatus (14) is attached to a curtain wall mullion (12) using said method.
