Whilst we do offer a small range of standard sized shower cubicles, and several commonly used ensuite pod configurations, most of our ensuite pods are designed and manufactured to order based on your specific requirements. We can design and manufacture a sectional pod to fit an existing space/footprint, which is ideal for redevelopment and refurbishment projects. These sectional pods can be manoeuvred through doorways, offering the possibility of using off-site manufacturing where there is no access to crane in a ensuite pod. For new build projects, we can design and manufacture one-piece or sectional ensuite pods to complement a new building design. In terms of minimum order quantity, Taplanes offers volume versatility and is able to design and manufacture anything from a single pod to 100+ pods.
Being pre-fabricated with heavy duty polypropylene material, Taplanes products are considerably more reliable, robust and long lasting than comparable alternatives.
Pre-fabrication allows the onsite assembly process to be quicker and quieter with less tradespeople, thereby reducing labour costs and enabling a cleaner & safer environment.
A Taplanes product can suit any showering facility in any location, when a long term solution is required to withstand a high use environment that requires design flexibility.
