        "text": "Liquid-applied membranes are rolled or brushed on seamlessly, making them adaptable to custom niches, benches, and irregular angles. However, they require careful monitoring of wet-film thickness and full drying time between coats before tile installation can begin. Sheet membranes and pre-formed foam boards provide an immediate, uniform waterproof barrier with zero cure time, allowing tiling to start the same day, though they require precise seam tape overlaps and thinset bonding. Contractors evaluate the shower layout, complexity of built-in features, and overall construction timeline when deciding which waterproofing method fits best.",
