Valued Engineering Solutions

Taplanes pods are designed with a minimalist aesthetic. They feature clean lines; few, striking materials; and an architectural profile that is dramatic in its simplicity. In keeping with its minimalist principles, the Taplanes approach to design and manufacture is about prioritising the essential; the pod structure and interior design is stripped to its core function, realised using limited materials, neutral colours, simple forms, and avoiding excess ornamentation to achieve a pure form of elegance and assured functionality.

Standard, tailored and bespoke bathroom pod options with no MOQ.
Most of our bathroom pods are designed and manufactured based on your specific requirements.
Refurbishment & Redevelopment: We can design and manufacture a sectional pod through doorways, 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 bathroom pod
New Build: we can design and manufacture one-piece or sectional bathroom pods to complement a new building design

BDE will follow the UCDO approach to assure client has full transparency on budget & timescale.
