Manufacturing / Insert Fires
Portuguese term or phrase: calhas de alumínio isoladoras
'O conjunto de substituição consiste num painel de vidro emoldurado por calhas de alumínio isoladoras'

This is part of an instruction manual regarding insert fires where it teaches you to replace broken glass.

I've seen many different terms for this and I'm not sure what would be appropriate in this case.

Thank you so much for your help!

Acho importante traduzir a palavra "isoladoras", que no contexto, principalmente de aquecimento, significa "thermal insulation".
