Abstract
A sound damping door system having a door frame, a compression seal, a door slab, a bottom seal, and a concealed hinge assembly. The door frame includes male and female components adapted to engage each other in a rough door opening between first and second wall faces; and at least one isolation gasket adapted to be disposed between the male and female components. The compression seal is mounted to the door frame. The door slab includes an outer skin; an arched constrainment sheet inside the outer skin; a damping fill material inside the outer skin; and an acoustic insert inside the outer skin. The bottom seal is mounted to a bottom surface of the door slab such that the bottom seal is permitted to move relative to the door slab.
Claims6
A door seal system, comprising:
- a seal, comprising a first damping component comprising a plurality of shaped surfaces, and a second damping component, the second damping component is at least partially enclosed in the first damping component, wherein two of the plurality of shaped surfaces partially surround the second damping component such that, when a door compresses the seal, the second damping component remains partially enclosed by the two shaped surfaces such that a gap remains between the shaped surfaces;
- and
- a door bottom seal, comprising:
- a seal pan;
- a pressure member at least partially disposed in the seal pan;
- a sealing strip attached to a bottom surface of the seal pan;
- and
- a dampening material disposed in the seal pan.
