GURU Square Shower Superkit
The standard GURU Superkit is designed for installers who prefer a traditional waterproofing workflow using membrane rolls and mortar-based preparation.
What’s Included
- Heavy-duty sloped shower tray
- Waterproof curb sections
- Waterproof membrane roll
- Inside and outside waterproof corners
- Pipe and valve seals
- Waterproof sealant
- Square drain system
Benefits of the Standard Superkit
Flexible Installation Process
This system works well for installers who already use traditional thinset and membrane applications.
Ideal for Larger Projects
Because it uses membrane rolls instead of wall panels, it can be more cost-effective for larger-scale jobs.
Reliable Waterproofing Performance
The layered waterproofing system creates a strong moisture barrier beneath tile installations.
GURU Speedy Superkit
The Speedy Superkit is designed for contractors who prioritize installation speed and simplified workflow.
Instead of traditional membrane rolls, this system uses lightweight waterproof wall boards that significantly reduce prep and curing time.
What’s Included
- Heavy-duty sloped shower tray
- Waterproof curbs
- Waterproof wall board panels
- Push-fit square drain connector
- Waterproof corners and accessories
- Hair strainer
- Pipe and valve seals
- Screws and washers
- Waterproof sealant
Why Contractors Choose the Speedy Superkit
Faster Installation
One of the biggest advantages is speed. Since the wall boards are already waterproof, installers can move much faster without waiting for multiple membrane curing stages.
This makes the system ideal for:
- Tight renovation schedules
- Same-day installations
- High-volume remodeling work
- Time-sensitive contractor projects
Cleaner and Simpler Workflow
Wall board systems reduce:
- Mess from liquid waterproofing
- Excess thinset handling
- Complex membrane layering
- Long drying periods
This creates a cleaner and more efficient jobsite.
Easier Handling
The lightweight boards are easy to:
- Carry
- Cut
- Adjust
- Install
This can help reduce labor effort and installation fatigue during larger projects.
Installation Speed Comparison
Standard Superkit Workflow
Typical process includes:
- Surface preparation
- Thinset application
- Waterproof membrane installation
- Waiting for proper curing
- Tile installation
This method usually requires a longer installation timeline.
Speedy Superkit Workflow
Typical process includes:
- Install wall boards
- Seal joints and corners
- Install tray and drain
- Begin tiling shortly after
Because curing time is greatly reduced, installers can move from waterproofing to tile installation much faster.

Choose the GURU Square Shower Superkit If:
- You prefer traditional waterproofing methods
- You already work with membrane roll systems
- Budget efficiency is important
- Your project timeline allows standard curing times
- You want flexibility with mortar and thinset selection
Choose the GURU Speedy Superkit If:
- You need faster project turnaround

Final Thoughts
Both shower systems are built to deliver long-lasting waterproof performance, durable drainage solutions, and professional installation results.
The standard GURU Superkit offers flexibility and a familiar traditional waterproofing process, while the Speedy Superkit focuses on installation speed, efficiency, and simplified workflow.
The best choice ultimately depends on your project timeline, installation preferences, and overall job requirements.
