Abstract: A spacer construction for insulating glass for windows comprised of thin sheets of metal, such as stainless steel, formed with a first bottom side panel wherein the first bottom side panel joins first and second spaced, typically diverging, lateral side walls or panels. A second inside wall of the spacer assembly is spaced from the bottom side of the first section or channel and joins, typically by welding, to the lateral side walls of the first section thereby forming a tube or chamber into which desiccant may be placed. A cushion material layer is positioned over and on the bottom side panel and is covered by a polymeric sheet affixed or bonded to the lateral sides to form an internal chamber filled with desiccant. The desiccant is positioned to impact against the film or sheet bonded to the bottom side panel and at least a portion of the lateral side walls of the channel enabling the assembly to effectively accommodate bending forces and stress upon bending of the spacer.
