Abstract:
The disclosure is directed to a framed device. The framed device includes a substrate, a frame, and a seal. The substrate has a first length, a first width, and a peripheral edge. The frame has a single, contiguous lengthwise piece having a first end and a second end, wherein the lengthwise piece is configured to form three corners by bending and is substantially equal to the length of the substrate. The frame further includes an attachment means connecting the first end and second end of the frame when in the bent position and a groove that runs along a length and a width of the frame, wherein the groove is substantially engaged with the peripheral edge of the substrate. The seal is disposed within the groove of the frame, wherein the seal runs contiguously from the substrate to the frame and the seal includes a foamed polymer.
