peer agreement (net): +1spacer Explanation: Wikipedia Insulated glazing unit (commonly referred to as IGU) is a piece of glazing consisting of two or more layers (lites) of glazing separated by a spacer along the edge and sealed to create a hermetically sealed air space between the layers. This provides better heat and sound insulation than standard single-glazed windows. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulated_glazing |

spacer rail Explanation: Actually, the reference I found mentions just "spacer material", but I am sure you could use the jazzier "spacer rail" to indicate that there's a bright metallic spacer. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 mins (2006-09-29 14:13:40 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The other reference I found uses spacer bar, which is probably a better proposition altogether. After all, the blessed thing carries no qualifications to be called a 'rail' - not unlike the common rail in injection systems. Go on - enter 'spacer bar' and collect the points, anyone... http://www.nuair.com/Info/Glossary.html#s Reference: http://www.wbdg.org/design/windows.php |
