The Abacus bench is one of the pioneering pieces in the Wintons Teak collection. The horizontal slats on the backrest and the subtly curved seats are distinctive features of this all-time bestseller. Crafted from solid a-grade teak, the bench is completely built up and requires no assembly. This ensures the structural integrity of the bench for many years to come.
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.
Our Teak Outdoor Furniture Never Need Oiling
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.
Remove the patina with warm water and detergent
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.

Machine Made Mortise & Tenon at Every Joint
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.
Precision Joinery is Key Longer Lasting Outdoor Furniture
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.
