FAMILY SAFETY - Part G Regs and TMV's
All of our social housing products are designed for ease of use by all ages and abilities. Many have simple, easy sequential controls that make handwashing child's play.
Our showers for social housing feature built-in thermostatic temperature controls that keep water at a constant temperature, regardless of whether another tap is turned on elsewhere in the house. Not just more comfortable, but safer too, as the risk of scalding is reduced.

RESIDENT SATISFACTION - Reduce Water Bills
Your homes also need to stand up to the latest legislative requirements when it comes to water efficiency. Especially when larger housing association developments or local authority estates can be made up of hundreds of individual homes in which each person can consume, on average, 150 litres of water per day*.
So as well as fitting limiting technology to our products, we've chosen our social housing range, in part, for it's water efficiency. Where appropriate, you'll see flow rates on many of our data sheets indicating just how much water they use under the European Water Labelling scheme.
Bristan also work with end-users to follow trends and ensure that our taps and showers operate as they should. For example Orta offers a stylish design but is fit for all age groups. Our extensive range of kitchen taps include options with long-lever and easy to use controls.

Guarding against scalding, especially in properties that may be home to vulnerable groups such as young children and the elderly, is a hugely important consideration. This is why our products are thermostatically controlled to ensure water temperatures never exceed 44°C.
