Water-resistant mastic membrane

摘要

This invention provides reinforced, water-resistant structures, and methods of manufacturing and installing such structures. These structures include bituminous mastic material having first and second major surfaces and semi-rigid, open mesh material disposed within the mastic material. The structure may be prefabricated or assembled in situ and can be bonded to an underlying substrate by the application of heat or pressure to form an adherent bond. The reinforced structure has a tensile strength of at least about 300 psi or more.
