A-Grade Teak refers to the most mature part of the tree, found at the centre of the teak log. It is dense and rich in natural oil, which protects the timber from splintering and remains smooth even after years.

Wintons Teak uses A-Grade Teak, which is rich in natural oil that acts as a film, preventing water from getting into the timber grain and rots it. Unlike other timber outdoor furniture that needs regular oiling and varnishing, you can simply leave Wintons Teak outdoor furniture out in the elements without any maintenance.

Over time, your Wintons Teak outdoor furniture will develop a lovely silver-grey patina, which can be easily removed using a soft-bristled scrubber, a solution of laundry detergent and warm water and detergent. Whether it is a silvery-grey patina finish or a washed teak colour, the choice is yours. It is all-natural, without any finishing chemical applied.

To prevent splitting, cracking, and mold growth, teak is carefully seasoned through one month of kiln drying and two months of air drying. This process reduces the moisture content to below 10%, ensuring a stronger, more stable, and durable timber.

At Wintons Teak we make sure that all hardware will remain rust-free, by using either stainless steel or brass fittings. What's more, all of our hardware can be replaced when needed.

In woodworking terms, machine-made refers to the precision joinery made using modern machinery. These are industrial grade machines as opposed to simple machines used in the handmade industry.

Using modern machineries, every timber component is cut precisely resulting in a perfectly fitted joint that shows little or no glue line. As a result, the structural integrity of the furniture is not compromised. This is especially useful for outdoor furniture as timber moves more when exposed to the elements.
