Claim 12:
13. A method of manufacturing an RF-shielded window apparatus, the method comprising:
forming a primary panel element by way of
providing a primary backing substrate, a primary shielding adhesion strip, a protective layer, and a protective adhesion strip, wherein
(i) the primary backing substrate has a primary peripheral edge defined thereabout, a primary inboard face and a primary outboard face, and
(ii) the protective layer has a protective inboard face and a protective outboard face;

placing the primary shielding adhesion strip in adhesive communication with the primary inboard face and extending partly outward of the primary peripheral edge, thereby defining a primary adhesion edge outward of the primary peripheral edge;
positioning the primary shielding adhesion strip in adhesive communication with a precursor sheet of primary RF shielding material while the precursor sheet of primary RF shielding is subject to an in-plane tensile loading;
trimming the precursor sheet of primary RF shielding to terminate at the primary adhesion edge, thereby defining a primary RF shield layer adhered to the primary inboard face by way of the primary shielding adhesion strip, the primary RF shield layer having a primary shield periphery;
applying the protective layer onto the primary RF shield layer;
wrapping the primary shielding adhesion strip around the primary peripheral edge and onto the primary outboard face; and
affixing the protective adhesion strip to the protective outboard face and wrapping the protective adhesion strip around the primary peripheral edge, whereby the protective adhesion strip is retained in electrically-conductive communication with the primary RF shield layer.
