Full description and care
Chieftain Trimcell Legend Faux Leather Upholstery Vinyl

Faux Leather Upholstery Vinyl for Domestic Furniture
Trimcell Legend offers a leather-look finish suitable for and traditional furniture styles.
Its flexible PVC construction makes it useful for upholstering shaped seat pads, chair backs and furniture panels, while the easy-clean surface is particularly beneficial for household seating.
Recommended applications include:
- Dining chairs and upholstered chair backs
- Kitchen seating and breakfast-bar stools
- Domestic bench and window seating
- Occasional chairs and footstools
- Upholstered headboards
- Replacement seat pads
- Domestic furniture restoration
- Decorative furniture panels
When recovering furniture, replacing tired cushion interiors can improve the finished result. see Upholstery Foams & Fillings or use the Foam Cut to Size Service for made-to-measure foam cushions.
Easy-Clean, Stain-Resistant PVC Upholstery
One of Legend's principal advantages is its practical wipe-clean finish.
The PVC surface resists absorption of many everyday household spills, making it particularly appropriate for kitchen chairs, dining furniture and frequently used domestic seating.
Routine cleaning should be carried out with warm, mild soapy water and a soft microfibre cloth, followed by thorough drying.
Food spills, oils and ink should be removed promptly to minimise the possibility of staining.
Avoid solvents, chlorine-based cleaners, abrasive cleaning agents and wax polishes, which may damage the material.
For compatible furniture maintenance products, see Upholstery Cleaners & Care Products. Always check individual cleaner compatibility before use.
Durable Construction with Recycled Polyester Backing
Legend features a phthalate-free PVC surface supported by a backing manufactured from 100% recycled polyester.
Its 625gsm construction and approximately 1mm thickness provide a material suitable for domestic furniture covering.
The vinyl has been tested to 40,000 Martindale abrasion rubs, offering resistance to everyday domestic wear.
When rebuilding upholstered seating, suitable padding can help achieve an even finished surface.
