The patinated bronze Garda brings a warm, high-end tone to both modern and rustic kitchens. Bronze is a living finish, so its surface mellows and shifts subtly over time to give the tap real character. The swan-neck spout swivels for easy access, and twin quarter-turn levers give precise control of hot and cold flow.
Suitable for low to high pressure systems from just 0.3 bar, the Garda works with gravity-fed as well as mains-pressure plumbing, so it suits far more UK homes than a high-pressure-only mixer.
