Traditional Basin Taps

Trinity Tap

Unless you are going for the Art Deco look, make sure you go for single basin taps every time. You never found hot and cold water conveniently mixed to the optimum temperature in a Victorian bathroom, much less from any earlier period!

You may think that cross head taps are the only option, but even if you have decided on this as a style, there are still plenty of choices to make, not least what finish to choose.

Do you want a fluted spout, for example, which can be found on the Bristan Trinity range? This gives a more romantic, feminine look. How about the length of the neck? A long neck again is more elegant.

Cardinal Basin Taps

Should the ceramic indices be domed or flush? Do you want complicated angular moulding? Should your cross head be straight (such as the Bristan Cardinal collection) or do you prefer a rounded globe-like end (such as those on the Bristan Fairfax)? Ultimately the choice is down to personal preference, but it is worth considering the shape of your basin.

Try to keep your tap choice in keeping proportionally and stylistically with your suite choice. This will help to draw your period look together.
