double glazing
Talking about PCB in double glazed windows. Presumably this must be a part between the 2 panes of glass, but I don't know the word for it.
Produksjonsåret, som er preget i avstandsskinnen mellom rutene, er en god indicator på om ditt vindu inneholder PCB eller ikke.
If anyone knows what this is called, advice would be appreciated.

spacer
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.

spacer rail
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.

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...
