An underlayment for supplementing one or more mechanical properties of conventional wall, ceiling, or floor board is used to in a wall, ceiling, or floor assembly that may be fabricated on site. The assembly includes a first and second wall, ceiling, or floor boards which each have mechanical properties, and the underlayment which has at least one supplemental mechanical property for supplementing the physical properties of the first and second boards. The second board is secured to the first board with the underlayment sandwiched between the second and first boards to form a wall, ceiling, or floor assembly with the supplemental physical property or properties of the underlayment. The supplemental physical property or properties of the underlayment may include, but are not limited to, sound transmission reduction.

A method of predicting and communicating transient hygrothermal behavior of an installed building component in a building wherein an interior environment of the building is materially affected by an environment exterior of the building, includes: defining a performance characteristic of the building component that is affected by transient hygrothermal behavior of the building component; defining exterior and interior climatic factors that affect the defined performance characteristic wherein the interior climatic factors are a function of the exterior climatic factors; and defining one or more non-climatic factors that affect the defined performance characteristic. Inputting these factors into a transient hygrothermal simulation software program to create a software model for performing simulations which predict changes in the defined performance characteristic, as a function of time, that are compared with a threshold performance characteristic value, to provide a user guide.

A method is disclosed for providing a substantially smooth surface on a wall substrate having a wall surface with surface irregularities. The method comprises applying an adhesive substantially uniformly to the surface of the wall substrate, and attaching to the wall surface a base sheet having sufficient stiffness, thickness and compressibility to conceal the surface irregularities and provide a substantially smooth surface on the wall substrate. In one aspect of the method, the base sheet is a nonwoven fiber glass mat.

A pipe insulation system includes a tubular core of fibrous insulation and a flexible closed cell foam layer overlaying the core and forming an outer surface of the system. The tubular core has a first longitudinal slit extending completely through the wall of the core and a second longitudinal slit in the inner surface of the tubular core, opposite the first slit, that forms a hinge permitting the tubular core to be opened and closed to place the system about a pipe. Preferably, the foam layer has a water vapor permeance rating of 0.02 perms or less and the pipe insulation system includes a seal for sealing the first slit so that an outer surface layer of the sealed system formed by the foam layer and seal has a water vapor permeance rating of 0.02 perms or less.
