Abstract:
A sealing method developed for a roofing system alternative to conventional asphalt shingles or metal roof coverings and for sealing walls and floors for tiled surfaces such as shower stalls and the like. The concepts described herein are readily applicable to waterproofing most kinds of walls, ceilings, roofs and floors, and any fixtures or other components that must pass through the wall, ceiling, roof or floor.

Claim (Index 7):
A method for installing a tiled surface on a building wall formed by a drywall or sheathing substrate, comprising the steps of:\n applying a waterproof wrap constructed of at least a first coat of a liquid silicone elastomeric (SE) roof coating applied to the substrate; applying a flashing strip formed of anti-fracture fabric (AFF) disposed against all edge seams formed by adjoining panels of the substrate, and over all openings through the substrate, thereby forming a continuous cover over all seams and openings; applying a second, intermediate coat of the SE roof coating over the waterproof wrap and the flashing strip, thereby forming a hilly sealed and waterproofed surface over the substrate; while the second coat of the SE roof coating is still wet, installing each tile in position against the coated substrate until intended coverage of the substrate with tiles is completed; and apply using a trowel to float a mixture of SE roof coating and washed silica sand as a out in each joint formed by adjoining tiles installed on the substrate; wherein the combined coatings of a single material bond to form an integrated, 100% sealed covering under the tiled wall surface without requiring any penetrations by nails, screws or other fasteners to secure the waterproof wrap, the flashing strip, and the intermediate coat to the sheathing substrate.
