Thermally broken trimless door

Abstract

A trimless frame assembly for retaining a panel includes a plurality of trimless frame segments and a panel having a plurality of sides. Each of the plurality of trimless frame segments includes an elongated front wall, an elongated back wall substantially parallel to the elongated front wall, and a gripping assembly in between the elongated front wall and elongated back wall. The gripping assembly includes a gripping channel including a plurality of spaced-apart internal surfaces and a plurality of clip-shaped abutments, each on a respective one of the plurality of spaced-apart internal surfaces such that a side of a panel can be received and gripped by the plurality of clip-shaped abutments. Each of the plurality of sides of the panel is within a respective gripping channel of a respective one of the plurality of trimless frame segments. The elongated front wall and the elongated back wall of each of the plurality of trimless frame segments are thermally separated by at least one thermal break strip.
