Product Overview: A Standardized Platform Built for Versatility
The Kostone MODX Bath Module is a modular bathroom solution engineered around the most widely used North American alcove dimensions — 60”×30” and 60”×32”. Designed to simplify both new construction and renovation projects, MODX provides a standardized footprint while maintaining the flexibility needed across different housing types and design requirements.
The system can be configured with either a bathtub or a shower base, allowing developers and builders to use a single bathroom platform throughout a project while adapting each unit to its intended use. Family apartments, hospitality suites, or accessible housing layouts can all be accommodated without redesigning the bathroom structure or plumbing placement.
To improve functionality and reduce installation complexity, MODX modules can include integrated wall niches or molded storage shelving. These built-in storage solutions eliminate the need for additional tile niches, inserts, or aftermarket accessories, helping maintain a clean aesthetic while reducing labor steps and long-term maintenance risks.
The modular multi-piece construction enables easier transportation through job sites, elevators, and standard door openings. Panels are designed for consistent alignment and efficient direct-to-stud installation, reducing the time and coordination typically required for traditional tiled bathroom builds. Smooth, water-resistant surfaces help ensure durability and simple cleaning, making the system suitable for high-use residential or commercial environments.
By combining standard sizing, configurable tub or shower options, and integrated storage features, the MODX Bath Module offers a practical and scalable approach to modern bathroom construction.
Real-World Applications: Designed to Reduce Time, Risk, and Cost on Site
Beyond product features, the real advantage of the MODX Bath Module comes from how it performs in actual construction workflows. Bathroom installation is one of the most schedule-sensitive parts of any project, often involving multiple trades, waterproofing steps, inspections, and finish coordination. Modular bath systems like MODX help simplify this process by reducing installation variables and improving predictability on site.
For multifamily housing developments, MODX allows teams to standardize bathroom layouts across dozens or hundreds of units while still maintaining flexibility. The same 60” alcove footprint can be used throughout the building, with tubs specified for family-oriented apartments and shower bases selected for smaller units, accessible designs, or modern rental preferences. This approach simplifies procurement, reduces design complexity, and improves long-term maintenance consistency across properties.
For production home builders, standardized bath modules help streamline construction schedules and labor planning. Because the system installs directly to framing and avoids the extended curing time associated with tile work, crews can move faster from rough-in to finishing stages. Integrated storage features also reduce the need for additional subcontractors, helping minimize coordination delays and installation errors.
In bathroom remodeling projects, especially in older homes or apartment upgrades, the MODX Bath Module offers a predictable replacement solution. The common 60” length matches existing alcove layouts used in most North American homes, meaning contractors can often reuse existing plumbing locations with minimal structural modification. This reduces demolition scope, shortens project timelines, and helps homeowners return to normal use faster.
For hospitality, student housing, and senior living projects, durability and maintenance efficiency are critical. The smooth, non-porous surfaces are designed for frequent cleaning, while the integrated storage design reduces the number of add-on components that may loosen or require repair over time. The ability to standardize installation across many rooms also helps facility managers maintain consistent spare parts and repair processes.
From a logistics perspective, MODX supports both fast local supply from Kostone’s Dallas warehouse and factory-direct shipment for large-scale developments. This dual-supply approach allows contractors to respond quickly to project timelines while maintaining reliable sourcing for bulk construction programs.
A Smarter Way to Build Bathrooms
As construction schedules tighten and labor costs continue to rise, modular bathroom systems are becoming an increasingly practical alternative to traditional tile installations. The Kostone MODX Bath Module is designed to support this shift by combining standardized dimensions, flexible configuration options, and installation efficiency into one scalable solution.
Whether used in new developments, large renovation programs, or individual home upgrades, MODX helps construction teams simplify planning, reduce installation time, and deliver consistent bathroom quality across projects.
