Use our Shelf Coverage Calculator to instantly configure the right combination of modular panels for your wire shelving system.


TAPPAS uses a modular panel system designed to adapt to standard wire shelving without replacement.

Panels are available in:

  • 12 in depth

  • 16 in depth

  • 18 in depth

And in multiple width combinations using:

  • Even modules

  • Odd modules

This allows shelves of nearly any width to be covered with the proper combination of panels while maintaining a clean, continuous appearance.

Find Your Perfect TAPPAS Setup

Enter your shelf dimensions to find the right TAPPAS configuration.

Measure the width and depth of your existing wire shelf, then enter the dimensions into the calculator.

Select the shelf depth (12 in, 16 in, or 18 in), add the number of shelves you want to cover, and click Calculate.

The calculator will automatically recommend the combination of TAPPAS panel sizes needed for each shelf, along with the total number of pieces required for your project.

Example:

If you have 4 shelves that measure 18 in wide × 16 in deep, the calculator will recommend:

  • 1 panel of 12 × 16 in

  • 1 panel of 5 × 16 in

per shelf.

Total needed:

  • 4 panels of 12 × 16 in

  • 4 panels of 5 × 16 in

Tappas' Calculator

Available depths: 12 in, 16 in, and 18 in.

  • TAPPAS is designed to work with standard residential wire shelving systems commonly found in closets, pantries, laundry rooms, and multifamily properties, with standard shelf depths of 12 in, 16 in, and 18 in.

  • No. TAPPAS installs directly over your existing wire shelving system — no shelf replacement required.

  • TAPPAS uses modular panel sizes that combine together to cover different shelf widths. By mixing even and odd modules, customers can configure coverage for a wide range of shelf dimensions while maintaining a seamless appearance.

  • TAPPAS currently supports standard wire shelf depths of:

    • 12 in

    • 16 in

    • 18 in

  • Yes — as long as all modules used on the same shelf share the same depth configuration (12 in, 16 in, or 18 in). Panels are designed to work together, allowing flexible width combinations while maintaining a clean, continuous surface.

  • TAPPAS panels are manufactured in the USA from steel with a durable powder-coated finish selected for strength, corrosion resistance, repeatability, and long-term residential use.
