Abstract:
Disclosed herein are various waterproof membranes that may be applied to a sill surface of an opening in a building structure to waterproof that surface as well as direct water that penetrates through the opening out of the structure. Generally, one or more flexible waterproof membranes are adhesively applied to the sill surface for purposes of waterproofing that surface. In one arrangement, an exposed top surface of the membrane forms a resilient surface that allows for inserting, for example, shims between the membrane and a structure disposed on the membrane without damaging the membrane. In another arrangement, an exposed top surface of the membrane includes a wicking material to facilitate removal of moisture from a structure. In another arrangement, the membrane includes a conformable flap to facilitate the adherence of the flap to surface that is transverse to the remainder of the membrane.
