Bridge Kitchen Taps
Bridge kitchen taps are a traditional tap style where hot and cold feeds rise separately and meet in a raised bridge before the spout. You choose them if you want a timeless design with clear control over temperature, making them popular in classic and farmhouse kitchens. The exposed pipework adds character, while solid brass construction provides durability for daily use.
This style is practical as well as decorative. With twin handles, you adjust hot and cold flow independently for precise control. Many designs include swivel spouts to reach across large double sinks, and aerators to create a smooth water stream. Bridge taps are reliable for everyday tasks such as rinsing food, filling pans, and washing up, while adding a period-inspired touch to your kitchen.
- Finishes: polished chrome, brushed nickel, antique brass, brushed bronze, and matt black options to match other fixtures.
- Handle styles: crosshead, lever, or ceramic capped designs for a more traditional or refined look.
- Features: 2-hole installation, swivel spouts, ceramic disc valves, and low or high-arch spout options.
- Build: solid brass construction with protective coatings for long service life and easy cleaning.
- Compatibility: works well with Belfast, farmhouse, ceramic, and granite sinks, and can be paired with colour-matched wastes and overflows.
When planning your sink area, think about clearances, spout height, and hole spacing. Bridge taps often suit larger sinks and look especially at home with apron-front or double-bowl models. Accessories such as soap dispensers and basket strainers can complete the setup and keep the style consistent.
