Reading about the various uses of "deska dystansowa", it appears it has a lot to do with the US term "furring strip."

In construction, furring (furring strips) are thin strips of wood or metal to level or raise surfaces of another material such as to prevent dampness.[1] Furring refers to the process of installing the strips and to the strips themselves. "Firring" is a U.K. term for wood strips which are usually 50 mm wide, tapered and fixed above wood roof joists to provide drainage falls below roof boarding. Furring strips themselves are typically referred to as "battens" in the U.K.


Wood furring strips typically measure 1" x 2" or 1" x 3". They can be laid out perpendicular to studs or joists and nailed to them, or set vertically against an existing wall surface. The spacing between the strips depends on the type of finishing material. Wider spacing is typically used behind the heavy boards that support ceramic tiles. Closely spaced strips are needed for thin panelling or plaster. The use of strips with plaster, however, is called either lath and plaster or wattle and daub.
