Abstract
A building water-management system () includes a base material () and fiber composite sheets () attached to the base material (). Each fiber composite sheet () includes a fiber core () having a first side (), an opposing second side (), and a surface layer () adhered to the first side () of the fiber core (). Adjacent fiber composite sheets () are connected together by a lapped configuration () such that the surface layer () of a first fiber composite sheet () extends from the base material () and onto a fiber core () of an adjacent second fiber composite sheet () and the fiber cores () of the first and second fiber composite sheets () are aligned next to each other to allow water to flow between the fiber cores (), thereby forming a continuous water drainage and repellant layer. A shower assembly () using the fiber composite sheets () is also disclosed.
