Brushed nickel is the finish that has quietly taken over from chrome, and the Lynstone is the least expensive way into it. The textured, warm-silver surface does not show fingerprints or water spotting the way polished chrome does, which matters a great deal on a tap that gets handled twenty times a day with wet hands.
It will run on almost any water system. Rated from 0.3 bar, so it works on a gravity-fed tank in a loft as well as on mains or combi pressure. Low-pressure suitability is unusual at this price and it is the best single reason to choose this tap over a cheaper high-street alternative.
Practical detail worth knowing before you order. One tap hole, 50mm footprint, and it will fit a sink or worktop up to 55mm thick — fine on a thick composite sink or a solid timber top. Flexi tails on a ½" BSP female thread and all fixings are supplied, so no adaptors are needed on a standard UK installation. The aerator is a replaceable Neoperl honeycomb insert, so hard-water furring is a cheap spare part rather than a new tap, and the valve is a ceramic disc cartridge.
Why you cannot buy this from Howdens yourself. Howdens supply the trade only — no trade account, no purchase, and no published prices. 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.
