California TB133-compliant fabrics

California's Technical Bulletin 133 is a regulatory code for furniture used in public buildings and areas for public assembly in the State of California. Fabrics which meet TB133 compliance are subjected to a large open flame in a specially designed test area where temperature, smoke opacity, and carbon monoxide concentration are measured. We offer a small selection of TB133-compliant fabrics for our lift chairs to facilitate the needs of customers in that state. TB133-compliant fabrics may eventually become the industry standard in the long run, as many other states may eventually model legislation regulating flammability ratings for fabrics after California's code.

SofTouch Fabrics

SofTouch Fabrics are made with a Stain Defense shield to prevent spills from ruining your liftchair upholstery. SofTouch exceeds the durability of Golden's previous upholstery fabrics in double-rub testing. If you have sensitive skin, or if you just want the best in comfort, consider SofTouch for the ultimate fabric feel on your plush lift recliner.

Ultrafabrics Brisa

Brisa is a rayon-backed polyurethane surface similar in many ways to Ultraleather. Boasting a durability six times the standard industry rating for heavy-duty fabrics, Brisa is very temperature-resistant. The fabric is designed to self-ventilate, making Brisa upholstery cool to the touch even after long-term exposure to the harshest sunlight. Brisa is stain-resistant and easily cleaned with water, soap, and/or common alcohol-based cleaning solutions. This upholstery can be easily disinfected without damaging the fabric by using a basic 5:1 water/bleach solution. Brisa is an excellent option for a lift chair that will be placed on a sun porch or any other converted space where sunlight and moisture may be more prevalent than other interior areas of your home - Ultrafabrics has specially designed Brisa to be resistant to color fading as well as mold and mildew.

Ultrafabrics utilizes a number of production techniques which are specifically engineered to minimize the environmental impact of their fabrics. Brisa is free of formaldehyde and all other carcinogenic VOCs and POPs, and is made using a process that recaptures 99% of all solvents, thus minimizing the carbon footprint of your lift chair and making Brisa a "green" choice for our planet and your family.

Vinyl

Sometimes referred to as faux leather, vinyl is a plastic resin which is manufactured using chlorine and ethylene. It is non-breathable, so it retains heat well. Vinyl is a good alternative to genuine leather for the thrifty lift chair shopper. It is also a fully recyclable material. Golden proudly upholsters their lift chairs in Bronco vinyl.
