Q: What is Eternity Finish™?
A: The secret behind Eternity Finish™ is the PVD (Physical Vapor 
Disposition) finish method that achieves metal components that look like 
brass but are four times harder.  The finish is so durable it withstands 
outdoor wear and tear; pitting, fading, tarnishing, corrosion, discoloration 
and rust.  It also provides the highest resistance to abrasion, chemicals 
and acid.  This is why Eternity Finish™ is added to every exterior 
Westmore product with a brass finish.  PVD is a 100% environmentally 
friendly manufacturing process.
