Default Waterproofing products used in the US

Hello everyone,

After meeting moderator Dave over at John Bridge's site, I came here to learn about tile setting products used in the UK.

We waterproof nearly every shower and tub surround on our jobs. The products we use the most are Schluter Kerdi, Noble Company TS membrane, and Laticrete 9235 and Laticrete Hydroban. THe two Laticrete products are liquids that are applied like a paint and cure to form a rubbery membrane. The Noble TS is a thick sheet (thicker than Kerdi by about 3 times I think) that is glued to the wall with either thinset or with a proprietary glue that Noble has.

When using Kerdi, we usually use the companion Kerdi drain for showers. For the other waterproofing products, we usually use a Noble Company shower pan liner called Chloraloy 240.

What methods are you using for waterproofing showers? I'm assuming that "tanking" means the same thing, so I am wrong just ignore this post.
