The Lynstone is the entry point to the Howdens tap range, and the polished chrome version is about as straightforward as a kitchen tap gets — a rounded swan neck spout, one lever for everything, and a finish that sits quietly alongside any worktop, sink or cabinet colour. If you want a tap that simply works and does not draw attention to itself, this is it.
It will run on almost any water system. The Lynstone mixers are rated from 0.3 bar, which means they work on a gravity-fed tank in a loft as well as on mains or combi pressure. Low-pressure suitability is unusual at this end of the market and it is the single best reason to choose this tap over a cheaper high-street alternative.
Practical detail worth knowing before you order. It needs one tap hole with a 50mm footprint, and it will fit a sink or worktop up to 55mm thick — generous, so it is fine on a thick composite sink or a solid timber top. It arrives with flexi tails on a ½" BSP female thread and all the fixings, so no adaptors are needed on a standard UK installation. The aerator is a replaceable Neoperl honeycomb insert, so if it furs up in a hard-water area you replace a £5 part rather than the tap, and the valve is a ceramic disc cartridge rather than a rubber washer.
Why you cannot buy this from Howdens yourself. Howdens supply the trade only — no trade account, no purchase, and no price list. We hold a trade account, so we can supply the same Howdens-sourced tap direct to you at a normal retail price, with no account and no minimum order.
