Waterproofing a shallow window jamb
Hi, everyone.
I've seen a few posts like this while searching for an answer, but I can't find one that's quite like my needs.
I am renovating my bathroom and I have a window that needs to be waterproofed. The window itself is almost new (installed last year), but the jamb around it is original wood. That is what I need to waterproof. The problem is that there's very little space to do so; only about 1/2". How do I waterproof this?
I've already heard that I should apply caulk between the cement board and the window jamb, but then what? When I Redgard the shower, do I also apply Redgard or Kerdi membrane directly to the wood jamb? If so, how do I attach it? Thinset? If not, what should I use? Once that's done, how do I hide it? I obviously don't want a nice red outline to my window once tiling is complete. Do I put thinset and tile over it? If so, do I put tile all the way around the window jamb, including upside-down at the top of the jamb?
I guess I don't really know where to start.
Thanks in advance.
