The black Alda sunlounger is a popular choice for those who wish to do very little cleaning and caring for their outdoor furniture. It features a durable black Batyline sling, which is fixed onto a black powder-coated aluminium frame and adorned with the natural grain of a-grade teak. The black powder coated Alda lounger is designed to be simple, modern and simply sophisticated.
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.

Durable Outdoor Sling
Wintons Teak uses outdoor sling by Batyline®, which is a far more durable sling material, as the individual strands are composed of twisted filaments coated with PVC. Once woven, heat is applied to the material that welds the strands together. This ensures the durability of the materials and prevents tears in the material when weight is 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.
Strong, Durable Reinforced Alu Frame
For load-bearing structures, it is often necessary to reinforce the aluminium bar. Also known as hardened aluminium, this process involves inserting a steel rod or solid timber into the hollow aluminium bar to strengthen the component. This not only allows the piece to carry more weight, but it also limits the welded component from flexing, which undermines its durability.
