Bristan refreshes bathroom off ering with brand-new taps for Spring 2024


B


ristan, the UK’s largest supplier of taps and showers, has expanded its portfolio of bathroom products with the introduction


of two new tap ranges this Spring. The two new tap ranges, Molida and Cruzar,


have been designed with housebuilders in mind and crafted to the highest standards – in true Bristan fashion. As Bristan expands its trend-driven off ering, the new ranges will provide housebuilders with more choice for their development projects – demonstrated through the unique knurling pattern on the handles of both ranges, the Molida’s European-inspired design and the Cruzar’s timeless, industrial feel.


Both ranges include a basin mixer, bath


shower mixer and bath fi ller and will include matching showers which will be introduced to the market later this year. The Molida basin mixer also features Bristan’s


Eco Start technology. This technology ensures that hot water is only activated when the tap lever is moved from the central position, therefore reducing demand on hot water heating systems. Taps featuring Bristan’s Eco Start technology


are estimated to save approximately £80 per year on energy bills, helping homeowners to save up to 10% on energy usage. Both designs are available in a range of trend-


led fi nishes, including matte black, brushed brass and Bristan’s signature hard-wearing chrome. They also come with long-life ceramic cartridges and Bristan’s 10-year guarantee – meaning housebuilders can buy with confi dence knowing these ranges have been built to last. Bristan’s fi nishes have been developed and


rigorously tested to meet the highest standards – as a result, they are corrosion and chemical resistant and can withstand everyday life in a modern home. Jonty Cook, product manager for Taps at


Bristan, says: “At Bristan we’re committed to maintaining our reputation as the go-to product choice for housebuilders. So, we’re excited to

introduce the new Molida and Curzar ranges to our product off ering.” “We value the feedback and opinions of our


customers, and this forms a key part of our new product development. With Molida and Cruzar, we’re delighted to have designed two ranges that off er housebuilders a wider choice of well- priced products and enable them to cater to the evolving tastes of homeowners.” “As with all of our products, these designs


have been rigorously tested, are supported by our exceptional guarantees and award-winning customer service.”

Quiet transformation for iconic Boys’ School A


rchitects Hawkins Brown have completed a transformative redevelopment


at the Central


Foundation Boys’ School, the 150-year-old top performing comprehensive school in central London. The vision was to rationalise and consolidate the school’s several buildings into a cohesive design to allow more efficient use of the campus. Works included providing a new, purpose- built science building equipped with state-of- the-art facilities along with a new three-court, multi-use sports hall with changing facilities. The tight nature of the site meant that the sports hall was sunken under the courtyard


with rooflights bringing in natural light. It has been designed to comply with Sport England guidance, providing the school with a flexible multi-purpose space that can be used for out- of-hours community activity. To help combat the problems of poor acoustics and sound reverberation in the sports hall, music and drama rooms, Hawkins Brown specified Troldtekt acoustic panels across all the ceilings. Panels were chosen in both grey and natural finishes to provide a discreet look whilst complementing the interior design. Troldtekt solutions excel at providing acoustic comfort with a visually attractive, aesthetic tactile surface along with high durability and low-cost lifecycle performance. Troldtekt acoustic panels are available in a variety of different structures and colours, combining superior sound absorption with an award-winning design. The Troldtekt range has a minimum expected life cycle of 50 years coupled with excellent resistance to humidity and tested to meet ball impact standards. The range is available in various sizes and structures, from extreme fine to fine.

to fire is classed in accordance with EN 13501 as B-s1,d0 or A2-s1,d0 respectively. Cradle to Cradle Certified®


at Gold level, Troldtekt


wood wool acoustic panels are manufactured using wood from certified forests (PEFC™ and FSC®


C115450) and can contribute


positively to a building’s BREEAM, WELL or LEED points.
