Abstract

A multi-windowpane structure for use in a temperature controlled environment such as a refrigerator or freezer with a display chamber. The window comprises two parallel glass panes which are separated from one another by a spacer disposed along their edges. The spacer is formed of transparent resinous material and contains a drying element. Therefore, high visibility of the merchandise on display is achieved. Since the spacer is formed of a resinous material, its rate of heat transfer is very low. Thus, the formation of condensation along the inner surfaces of the glass panes is greatly reduced.
