Abstract
Building component assemblies include a sound-deadening board having defined compressional stiffness positioned between a framing member and an assembly board.
Claims4
A building component assembly, comprising:
- at least one assembly framing member;
- at least one assembly board;
- and
- at least one sound-deadening board, wherein the sound-deadening board is made of a substantially non-resiliently compressible material, is positioned between the at least one assembly framing member and the at least one assembly board, and has a compressional stiffness of less than about 7840 pounds per square inch.

A building component assembly, comprising:
- at least one assembly framing member;
- at least one assembly board;
- and
- at least one sound-deadening board, wherein the sound-deadening board is made of a substantially resiliently compressible non-foam material, is positioned between the at least one assembly framing member and the at least one assembly board, and has a compressional stiffness of less than about 7840 pounds per square inch and the material has an Equivalent Young's Modulus (bulk modulus of elasticity) between 50 and 600 pounds per square inch and a thickness between ¼ and 1 inch.

A method of installing a sound-deadening board in a building component assembly, comprising the steps of:
- attaching at least one sound-deadening board to at least one assembly framing member;
- and
- attaching at least one assembly board to the at least one assembly framing member and at least one sound-deadening board, such that the sound-deadening board is positioned between the assembly board and the assembly framing member,
- wherein the sound-deadening board is substantially made of a non-resiliently compressible material has an Equivalent Young's Modulus (bulk modulus of elasticity) between 50 and 600 pounds per square inch and a thickness between ¼ and 1 inch.
