Our Products

Standard, tailored and bespoke ensuite pod options with no MOQ

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.

How products are made

Being pre-fabricated with heavy duty polypropylene material, Taplanes products are considerably more reliable, robust and long lasting than comparable alternatives.

Features & Benefits

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.

Sectors

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.

Self-Contained Shower Cubicles

Our self-contained shower cubicles are a great option for large-scale projects such as student accommodation, hotels and holiday parks. They are easy to install, maintain and clean, making them a cost-effective and low maintenance solution for a range of applications. Self-contained shower cubicles are also leak free and have a longer lifespan than many other shower cubicle products.

Modular Bathroom
Pods

We know that standard sizes and shapes don’t work for all projects and therefore we wouldn’t want to restrict our clients. We offer a range of bathroom pod footprints from which a tailored solution can be designed, based on your sizes and specifications. If you don’t see what you need, get in touch ….. we are known for creating exciting designs!

Self-Contained Shower
Pods

Self contained shower pods allow for easy installation and maintenance, with many advantage compared to a traditional shower cubicle. Our shower pods are easy to install and maintain, and are ideal for bathrooms where space is limited. That makes them perfect commercial shower pods for projects such as hotels, hostels, holiday parks and university student accommodation.

Toilet Pods

Taplanes click and lock demountable products allow for quick and easy installation and flexibility in the construction program. They are structurally independent and self supporting.

Dignity Pods

The Dignity Pod is our latest modular product range aimed at supporting people to remain living independently in their homes by providing access to ground-floor bathrooms. The Dignity Pod can be quickly and easily installed – it is made from our own polypropylene material which is easy to keep clean without the need for chemical cleaners. It is a silicone-free product and the inert surface doesn’t support the growth of bacteria or mould.
