Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an insulated door having two horizontal rails and two vertical rails. Each of the two horizontal rails is in contact at its two extremities with extremities of the two vertical rails. Each rail comprises an elongate interior side piece, an elongate exterior side piece, an elongate cover adapted to be mounted to the interior side piece, and an elongate rail insulation element linking the interior side piece to the exterior side piece. The rail insulation element prevents any direct physical contact between the interior and exterior side pieces. The door also comprises a sealed glass unit enclosed in a perimeter formed by the rails, an outside face of the sealed glass unit being in contact the exterior side pieces, an inside face of the sealed glass unit being in contact with the covers. A refrigerator door system incorporating the insulated door is also disclosed.
