Where each product wins

The Shower 20 Mil wins on price. It's a 20-mil roll, weighs 5 pounds, and carries a GTIN of 7445049835887. The orange color makes it easy to identify during a build.

The REDGARD wins on product identity. It is explicitly named and typed as a Fabric Membrane, it's red, and the title's "Suitable for all tile" language makes the intended use hard to miss.

Shower 20 Mil Shower Waterproofing Membrane 3.3 Ft X 33 Ft Roll (108 Sq.Ft) - PE

Choose the Shower roll when your build benefits from a tile underlayment that also handles vapor-barrier duty. The title gives you the sheet size-3.3 ft x 33 ft-and the construction is a 20-mil PE underlayment with a reinforced polyethylene core and dual non-woven fabric layers. The included component is the shower waterproof membrane itself, and the orange color stands out on the job. The limitation is category: this is a PE composite underlayment, not a standalone fabric membrane. If your plan is built around a fabric-membrane format, you'll want the other roll.

REDGARD Fabric Membrane 108 sq Ft (1 Roll) Red Waterproof-Suitable for all tile

Choose the REDGARD when your installation plan is built around a fabric membrane. The roll is red, the UPC is 010186194844, and the product statement is direct: a red waterproofing roll positioned for tile use. The limitation is the material focus. The REDGARD's listed identity centers on the fabric membrane form, not a layered PE underlayment with a vapor barrier. If your project calls for a composite underlayment, this roll won't match that specification.

Final choice

Use the roll that matches your installation method: the Shower 20 Mil for tile-underlayment work, the REDGARD for its named membrane format.
