"What does Pol. Chrome/PVD Brass mean?"
These faucets are polished chrome with PVD brass accents.
"What does PVD stand for?"
Physical Vapor Deposition (used mostly with polished brass or gold finishes). This is a modern plating process used in faucet manufacturing.
Vaporized zirconium reacts with nitrogen and other gases to form a VERY durable plated surface. Unlike former days when polished brass would easily tarnish over time, polished brass finishes with PVD are extremely durable and won't generally tarnish or discolor.
"What type of faucets can I use in the bathroom?"
The two most commonly used bathroom sink (lavatory) faucets are the 4-inch centerset and the widespread.
"What is a widespread set?"
A widespread set includes three separate parts that measure from 8 to 20 inches from center to center.
