The Duralex Picardie is less a glass and  more an institution. It's the Land Rover of the glassware world; it's not flashy, but it's unbelievably tough and  does its job perfectly, every single time.

  • Incredible Durability: These glasses genuinely live up to their reputation for toughness.
  • Not CE Marked: Unsuitable for serving prescribed spirits without separate measurement.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Garden Bistro in Norwich was struggling with constant glassware breakages during their busy lunch service, leading to high replacement costs and  service interruptions. They switched their standard table glasses to the Duralex Picardie GG905 range to improve durability.

“Since we brought in the Picardie tumblers, our glassware spending has plummeted. They just don't break! They look smart on the table, and  the staff love how easy they are to handle and  wash. It's one less thing to worry about during a hectic service.”

Robert Davies – Owner, The Garden Bistro

The bistro reported a reduction in glassware replacement costs of over 40% within the first year, significantly improving their operational budget.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully inspect all glasses for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
  • Give them a full cycle in your glasswasher before their first use to remove any dust or residues.
  • Designate a specific, easy-to-reach shelf for storage to minimise unnecessary handling.

Keeping It Going

  • Although tough, always check the rim for tiny chips before use, as this is the most common weak point.
  • To prevent scratches, avoid using abrasive scourers; a commercial glasswasher is all you need.
  • When stacking, don't build towers too high. Keep them stable to prevent them from toppling over.
  • Regularly descale your glasswasher to prevent cloudy residue from building up on the glasses.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Tumblers

Not sure what fits best? Choosing the right glassware is crucial for function and  feel. Here are a few things to keep in mind.

Material Matters

Toughened glass, like Duralex, offers superior durability for busy commercial use, drastically reducing breakages compared to standard or annealed glass.

Consider Capacity

Match the glass size to its primary use. A 310ml tumbler is a great all-rounder for water, juice, and  soft drinks, but you might need larger or smaller options for specific beverages.

Style and  Feel

The glass is part of the customer experience. A classic, comfortable design like the Picardie feels familiar and  professional, enhancing the overall presentation.

Stackability is Key

In a commercial kitchen or bar, space is a premium. Glasses that stack securely are a massive advantage, freeing up valuable shelf space and  making them easier to transport.

Think Long-Term Cost

Don't just look at the initial price. A slightly more expensive but far more durable glass will save you a significant amount in replacement costs over its lifetime.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these Duralex Picardie glasses stackable?

A: Yes, they are designed to be stacked, which is perfect for saving space in a professional kitchen or bar area.

Q: Can I use these glasses for hot drinks like coffee or tea?

A: While they are highly resistant to thermal shock, they are primarily designed for cold beverages. We recommend using dedicated mugs or heat-proof glasses for very hot drinks.

Q: What exactly does 'toughened glass' mean?

A: It's glass that has been treated with a heating and  rapid cooling process (tempering) to make it significantly more resistant to impact and  temperature changes than standard glass.

Q: Are the glasses heavy to hold?

A: No, they have a reassuringly solid feel without being overly heavy. The faceted design also makes them very easy and  comfortable to grip.

Q: Will they go cloudy in the dishwasher over time?

A: Duralex glass is non-porous and  designed for commercial dishwashing. Cloudiness is usually caused by hard water or detergent residue, so maintaining your machine will keep them crystal clear.

Q: Is the 310ml capacity measured to the brim?

A: Yes, the 310ml (11oz) capacity is the total volume of the glass when filled to the rim.

Q: What is the diameter of the glass?

A: The Duralex GG905 tumbler has a diameter of 90mm at its widest point.

Q: Is the glass completely clear?

A: Yes, it's a high-quality, perfectly clear glass that presents the colours of your drinks beautifully.

The Duralex Difference: A Legacy of French Durability

When you choose Duralex, you're not just buying a glass; you're investing in a piece of design history and  a promise of unparalleled reliability. Founded in 1945, Duralex invented the glass tempering process, and  the Picardie tumbler has since become a global icon, synonymous with French cafe culture. This heritage is built into every glass. For your business, this translates to tangible benefits that go beyond the spec sheet. It means fewer accidents from shattering glass (tempered glass crumbles into safe, blunt pieces if it does break), consistent quality across every batch, and  the quiet confidence that comes from using a product trusted by professionals for generations. This long-term dependability reduces operational headaches and  ensures your tableware budget is spent on growth, not just constant replacements.

What 'Toughened Glass' Really Means for Your Business

Ever wondered what makes 'toughened' or 'tempered' glass so strong? It's not just thicker glass; it's a clever bit of science. During manufacturing, the glass is heated to over 600°C and then blasted with cold air. This process, called tempering, makes the outer surface cool and  compress much faster than the inside. This creates a huge amount of tension within the glass.

Think of it like a coiled spring. The surface is squeezed tight, making it incredibly resistant to impacts, scratches, and  sudden temperature changes that would shatter a normal glass. It's this internal strength that makes commercial Duralex tumblers 310ml up to 2.5 times stronger than standard glassware. So when we say it's tough, we mean it's been scientifically engineered for the battlefield of a busy kitchen.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Bustling Cafes: These durable cafe glass tumblers 310ml are perfect for serving water, juices, and  iced coffees all day long.
  • Traditional Pubs & Bars: A classic, no-nonsense choice for soft drinks and  mixers that can handle a fast-paced environment.
  • Restaurants & Bistros: The ideal water glass for table settings, offering a blend of elegance and  exceptional resilience.
  • Schools & Canteens: A safe and  virtually unbreakable option for high-volume use where safety and  low replacement costs are key.
