A spacer element for a double glazed article, the spacer element comprising: a frame section having: a first frame portion located on the first side of the frame section, the first frame portion including a first substantially planar mounting surface located on a first side of the frame section for mounting a major surface of a first sheet of glass on the spacer element at a periphery of the first sheet of glass; and a second frame portion located on the second side of the frame section, the second frame portion including a second substantially planar mounting surface located on a second side of the frame section opposite the first side, for mounting a major surface of a second sheet of glass on the spacer element at a periphery of the second sheet of glass; wherein the first and second substantially planar mounting surfaces are located on opposite sides of each frame section so that the two sheets of glass of the double glazed article can be mounted in a spaced relationship on opposite sides of the spacer element; two connection members (38, 58) extending between the first frame portion and the second frame portion to removably connect the first frame portion and the second frame portion together, wherein each connection member comprises a material having a lower thermal conductivity than a material of the first frame portion and the second frame portion; a cavity, wherein the cavity is located in-between the first mounting surface and the second mounting surface of the frame section and wherein the cavity is located in-between the connection members; and characterized by: a lock and/or roller mechanism at least partially located in the cavity in-between the first mounting surface and the second mounting surface and in-between the connection members. a frame section having: a first frame portion located on the first side of the frame section, the first frame portion including a first substantially planar mounting surface located on a first side of the frame section for mounting a major surface of a first sheet of glass on the spacer element at a periphery of the first sheet of glass; and a second frame portion located on the second side of the frame section, the second frame portion including a second substantially planar mounting surface located on a second side of the frame section opposite the first side, for mounting a major surface of a second sheet of glass on the spacer element at a periphery of the second sheet of glass; a first frame portion located on the first side of the frame section, the first frame portion including a first substantially planar mounting surface located on a first side of the frame section for mounting a major surface of a first sheet of glass on the spacer element at a periphery of the first sheet of glass; and a second frame portion located on the second side of the frame section, the second frame portion including a second substantially planar mounting surface located on a second side of the frame section opposite the first side, for mounting a major surface of a second sheet of glass on the spacer element at a periphery of the second sheet of glass; wherein the first and second substantially planar mounting surfaces are located on opposite sides of each frame section so that the two sheets of glass of the double glazed article can be mounted in a spaced relationship on opposite sides of the spacer element; two connection members (38, 58) extending between the first frame portion and the second frame portion to removably connect the first frame portion and the second frame portion together, wherein each connection member comprises a material having a lower thermal conductivity than a material of the first frame portion and the second frame portion; a cavity, wherein the cavity is located in-between the first mounting surface and the second mounting surface of the frame section and wherein the cavity is located in-between the connection members; and two connection members (38, 58) extending between the first frame portion and the second frame portion to removably connect the first frame portion and the second frame portion together, wherein each connection member comprises a material having a lower thermal conductivity than a material of the first frame portion and the second frame portion; a cavity, wherein the cavity is located in-between the first mounting surface and the second mounting surface of the frame section and wherein the cavity is located in-between the connection members; and characterized by: a lock and/or roller mechanism at least partially located in the cavity in-between the first mounting surface and the second mounting surface and in-between the connection members.
