Abstract (en)

it is an object of the present invention to provide a spacer profile for mounting between glass panes for forming a spacing between said glass panes, wherein said spacer comprises a body comprising an inner top surface directed towards an inner space when mounted between said panes, an outer surface opposite said inner surface, and a first and a second side surface connecting said inner surface and said outer surface. Further, a stiffening material is arranged on at least one side surface of said spacer, wherein said stiffening material extends along the length of said spacer. Thereby, the stiffening material makes the spacer stiff/rigid thus removing the risk of the spacer being bent and broken before the installation between the two glass panes and making the spacer easier to handle from production until actual mounting between panes.
