Chieftain Trimcell Classic Faux Leather Upholstery Vinyl

Chieftain Trimcell Classic is a practical, leather-look PVC upholstery vinyl developed for domestic furniture, seat recovering and general upholstery refurbishment. Combining a faux leather surface with everyday durability and straightforward cleaning, it provides an economical alternative to genuine leather for suitable household furniture applications.

Manufactured with phthalate-free PVC and a 100% recycled polyester backing, Trimcell Classic offers a 550gsm construction and 40,000 Martindale abrasion resistance.

Available in six established colours, it is suitable for professional upholsterers, furniture repairers and domestic customers.

Faux Leather Vinyl for Domestic Furniture

Trimcell Classic provides a traditional leather-effect appearance without the maintenance requirements associated with genuine leather.

Its flexible PVC surface makes it suitable for a range of domestic upholstery applications, particularly furniture where simple cleaning is desirable.

Recommended uses include:

• Dining chair seats and backs
• Kitchen chairs and breakfast-bar stools
• Domestic bench and window seating
• Occasional chairs and furniture panels
• Upholstered headboards
• Domestic furniture refurbishment
• Replacement seat pads and cushions
• Decorative upholstered furniture components

When recovering chairs or replacing worn seat pads,

For bespoke seat shapes and thicknesses, the Foam Cut to Size Service provides made-to-measure cushion interiors.

Easy-Clean and Stain-Resistant Upholstery Vinyl

A principal advantage of Trimcell Classic is its practical wipe-clean surface.

Unlike absorbent woven fabrics, PVC upholstery vinyl can be cleaned regularly with warm, mild soapy water and a soft microfibre cloth, making it particularly useful for dining chairs, kitchen stools and household seating.

Food spills and everyday marks should be attended to promptly. Oil, fat and ink should be removed immediately to minimise the risk of permanent staining.

Avoid solvents, chlorine-based cleaners, abrasive products, chemical cleaning agents and wax polishes, as these may damage the vinyl surface.

The easy-clean finish makes Trimcell Classic for furniture used in kitchens, dining rooms and busy family homes.

Durable Vinyl with Recycled Polyester Backing

Trimcell Classic combines a phthalate-free PVC surface with a 100% recycled polyester backing.

The backing provides a supporting textile layer behind the vinyl, while the approximately 0.9mm material thickness makes it suitable for sewing, shaping and fitting to appropriately designed furniture.

With a tested abrasion resistance of 40,000 Martindale rubs, it is durable for everyday domestic upholstery.

Domestic Fire Performance, Crib 1

Chieftain Trimcell Classic is specified for domestic upholstery applications and is identified by the manufacturer as a Crib 1 product.

The manufacturer's published specifications include EN 1021 Parts 1 and 2 and references to the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988.

Fire compliance must always be assessed for the complete upholstered furniture construction, including the covering, foam, fillings and any required interliners.
