The Engla bench is a revival of traditional designs, made from 6mm polyrod synthetic wicker in patina grey, making it the same colour as weathered teak. The edges of each piece features plaited weaving that gives the piece stature and a charismatic feel. The Engla bench is hand-woven from durable synthetic rattan on a fully welded aluminium frame, which makes it 100% outdoor, requiring no specific maintenance and can be left under the open sky, in the full sun and pouring rain.
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.

100% OUTDOOR CUSHION
Wintons Teak uses quick drying foam that dries within 20 minutes even after pouring rain, this allows all manner of soft furnishing to remain outdoor and mold free. You never need to store the cushion indoors.
Pinch to Test The Quality Difference
Compared to commonly used polypropylene, Wintons Teak only uses high-density polyethylene (HDPE) for synthetic wicker which is never brittle and will retain its shape.
HDPE outdoor wicker should also retain its colour and texture over time.
Wintons Teak provides a 3-year warranty for your peace of mind.
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.
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.
