An elongated spacer is disclosed for use in separating the glass panes in multiple-glazed thermal windows. The spacer has an elongated hollow interior for storing a dessicant material and a plurality of moisture barrier partitions at intervals along the length of the interior. The spacers are originally manufactured in oversized lengths and later cut to fit particular windows. The partitions divide the elongated interior into subcompartments, and when the spacer is cut to length the partitions confine moisture contamination and dessicant loss to the particular subcompartment which is cut.
