Emily Hart – Tableware Expert View Profile →
- Performance: The clarity is fantastic; they genuinely look like glass until you pick them up.
- Careful Cleaning: Avoid abrasive scourers, as they can cause micro-scratches on the surface over time.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
Seaside Scoops, a popular ice cream parlour in Brighton, was constantly dealing with glassware breakages on their busy seafront terrace, especially during peak tourist season. The cost and safety risk were becoming a real problem.
"We were losing money on broken glasses every single week. These polycarbonate ones look just as good, our staff love how light they are, and we haven't had a single breakage in months. It's taken a massive headache away."
Leo Wilson – Owner, Seaside Scoops
The switch completely eliminated their budget for replacement dessert glasses and helped reduce table clearing times by 15% during peak hours.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, give all glasses a thorough wash in a glasswasher or with warm, soapy water.
- Check each dish upon unboxing to ensure there's no damage from transit.
- Stack them carefully on your shelves; they're sturdy but avoid wedging them together too tightly.
Keeping It Going
- For best results and to maintain brilliant clarity, always use a commercial glasswasher.
- Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh scouring powders, as these can dull the surface over time.
- To shift stubborn marks, soak the glasses in a non-abrasive, polycarbonate-safe cleaning solution.
- Regularly inspect for any deep scratches that could harbour bacteria and replace if needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these glasses truly unbreakable?
A: They are described as 'virtually unbreakable'. This means they are incredibly durable and resistant to shattering if dropped, unlike standard glass, making them ideal for commercial use.
Q: Do they look like cheap plastic?
A: Not at all. They are crafted from a high-grade, crystal-clear polycarbonate that is specifically designed to mimic the clarity and shine of real glass.
Q: Can I use them in a microwave?
A: No, it is not recommended to use polycarbonate tableware in a microwave.
Q: How many glasses are in a pack?
A: This product, SKU CG955, is sold in a box containing 12 sundae glasses.
Q: Will they stain from things like berry sauces?
A: They are highly stain-resistant. For best results, wash them promptly after use and avoid leaving colourful foods in them for prolonged periods.
Q: What does 'not CE marked' mean for this product?
A: The CE mark for glassware usually relates to its use as a legal measure for selling alcohol (like a pint glass). As this is a dessert dish, this certification is not required or relevant.
Q: Are they heavy like glass?
A: No, they are significantly lighter than their glass counterparts, which makes them much easier and safer for staff to carry on trays.
Q: Can I use metal spoons in them?
A: Yes, you can. However, like any plastic surface, repeated and aggressive scraping with metal cutlery may eventually cause fine surface scratches over a long period.

Ever wondered what makes polycarbonate so special? In short, it's a type of super-strong, transparent thermoplastic. Think of it like the material used for protective visors, modern car headlights, or even riot shields – it’s engineered to be incredibly impact-resistant and clear as glass. When used for tableware, it means you get the best of both worlds. These Polycarbonate Sundae Glasses look elegant and high-end on the table, but they won't shatter into a hundred dangerous shards if accidentally knocked over or dropped. This makes them a much safer, more reliable, and cost-effective choice for any public-facing environment, without a hint of compromise on style.
Who Should Buy This?

- Family Pubs & Restaurants: A superb, safe alternative to glass for serving desserts to customers of all ages.
- Mobile Caterers & Event Stalls: Lightweight, stackable, and durable, they're ideal for serving desserts at festivals and markets.
- Schools, Hospitals & Care Homes: An excellent choice for canteens where safety, hygiene, and durability are top priorities.
