Page 2 of 2 Bristan Kitchen Taps

Return to page 1 of Bristan Kitchen Taps

Bristan Kitchen Taps are available in a wide range of options with varying spout types and levers for perfect control over cold and hot water in the kitchen. The majority of these Bristan taps are finished with excellent chrome finishing which protects them from wear and other environmental-related problems. These are certainly taps you would find in modern kitchens, especially since they’re ideal for use on both low and high-pressure water systems.

If you're looking for taps by brand and don't know where to start, we suggest Bristan.

 
 

Which spout type should I choose — swivel, pull-out or fixed — for everyday kitchen use?

If you have a double bowl sink, a swivel spout (available on 14 of the models) gives the reach you need to move water between bowls. A pull-out spray, like the Liquorice pull-out model, is ideal if you want a flexible rinse for vegetables and awkward pans. A fixed spout is simplest and works well for a single-bowl sink or a compact kitchen where reach isn't a priority.

Will Bristan taps work with low-pressure as well as high-pressure water systems?

Yes, many Bristan kitchen taps are specified as suitable for both low and high-pressure systems, so they'll work in older houses with low pressure and in modern high-pressure setups. If you're unsure of your system, single-lever mixers (the majority in this range) are typically more tolerant of pressure variations than some traditional twin-lever pillar arrangements.

What are the practical differences between the finishes on these Bristan taps?

Most models are chrome (14 listed), which resists wear and environmental damage and matches most modern kitchens. There are also brushed chrome, black and nickel options — brushed finishes hide watermarks better, black gives a bold contemporary look but can show lime scale more easily, and nickel offers a softer, warmer tone. Think about your sink and appliance finishes so the tap complements the rest of the room.

How do I know whether to buy a single-lever or twin-lever tap, and how does that affect tap holes?

Single-lever mixers (many of the 15 kitchen mixers listed) usually require one tap hole and give quick temperature control, so they suit modern sinks with a single pre-drilled hole. Twin-lever or pillar designs are more traditional and commonly need two holes; they're useful if you prefer separate hot and cold controls or a classic look like the Renaissance and 1901 ranges. Check your sink's pre-drilled holes — 11 products are single-hole compatible while 5 are for two-hole configurations.

Which Bristan range suits a modern round kitchen and which suits a traditional kitchen?

For a modern round aesthetic, the Monza, Echo, Manhatan and many of the Easyfit models (Modern - Round) pair chrome finishes with clean, simple lines and swivel spouts. For a traditional feel, look at the Renaissance and 1901 ranges — they feature more classical silhouettes and twin-lever options that match period-style sinks. If you want a practical example, choose a Monza chrome swivel mixer for a contemporary open-plan kitchen, or a Renaissance twin-lever deck mixer to match a farmhouse-style sink.
