Abstract

A sealing sheet assembly bondable to a construction surface comprising (a) an upper layer of a first substance, the upper layer being selected fluid impermeable; and (b) a lower flexible layer of a second substance, the lower flexible layer being bondable to the construction surface, the upper layer and the lower flexible layer being at least partially attached to one another; wherein a combination of the upper layer, the lower layer and the attachment or the partial attachment of the layers to one another are selected such that tensile forces resulting from constructional movements acting upon the sealing sheet, result in a local detachment or relative displacement of the upper layer and the lower flexible layer, thereby an ability of the lower flexible layer of transmitting the forces onto the upper layer is remarkably reduced, resulting in improved service of the sealing cover as a whole, the attachment is selected such that a spread of a leakage between the layers via a tear formed in the upper layer is locally restricted.
