Frequently Asked Questions

What are polymer materials?

Polymers are durable, man-made materials designed to withstand the elements. In Winawood, these polymers are partly recycled and fully recyclable, creating a strong, long-lasting alternative to wood that resists rot, rust, and moisture damage.

Does Winawood material contain wood?


No, Winawood does not contain any wood. It’s made from a high-quality synthetic polymer blend, which includes recycled plastic. This makes it more durable and weather-resistant than traditional wood, without the need for staining or treating.

Does the colour run all the way through the material?


Yes. The colour and natural grain effect are embedded throughout the material, not just on the surface. This means minor scratches or scuffs can be easily sanded without affecting the overall look.

What is the weight capacity of Winawood seats?


Winawood benches and chairs are designed for strength and stability. Each seat supports up to approximately 300kg, depending on the model, ensuring long-lasting comfort and reliability.

Is Winawood waterproof?


Yes, completely. Winawood is 100% waterproof and will not absorb moisture, swell, or rot. It’s designed to withstand rain, frost, and even snow — making it perfect for all-weather outdoor use.

How much recycled material is in Winawood furniture?

Winawood is made from a high-performance polymer blend with at least 20% recycled content and is 100% recyclable at the end of its life.

This is the perfect balance that makes Winawood strong, durable, and long-lasting, while still keeping the natural wood-like look you expect.

Every product is GRS-certified, so you can enjoy beautiful, low-maintenance furniture with confidence that it’s eco-conscious too.

Does Winawood material fade?


Winawood is UV-stabilised to resist fading and maintain its original colour for years. Like all outdoor furniture, minimal fading may occur over time with prolonged sun exposure, but it remains minimal and even across the surface.

Can I paint my Winawood furniture?


Painting is not recommended. Winawood is designed with permanent colour and grain built into the material, so it never needs painting, staining, or varnishing.

Can Winawood material be sanded?


Yes. Because the colour runs all the way through, you can lightly sand small areas to remove scratches or marks. Each Winawood product comes with a sanding block for easy touch-ups.

Can I keep my Winawood furniture out all year round?


Absolutely. Winawood furniture is fully weatherproof and can be left outside 365 days a year — no covering, treating, or storing required.

How do I clean Winawood furniture? Can I power wash it?


For everyday cleaning, simply wipe with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. For tougher dirt or after winter, a gentle power wash on a low setting is perfectly safe and effective.

Is assembly required?


Winawood items require minimal assembly using the provided tools. Clear, easy-to-follow instructions are included with every product.
