The Duralex Gigogne is less of a product and  more of a hospitality institution. It’s the definition of form meeting function.

  • Top Tier Durability: These can be dropped and  knocked about with surprising resilience.
  • Not for Measured Spirits: Lacks a CE mark, so not for selling specific drink volumes.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

Based in the heart of York, 'The Shambles Kitchen & Bar' was struggling with glassware costs. Their standard glasses were chipping during washing and  stacking, making the tables look unprofessional and  leading to constant reordering.

"We felt like we were throwing money away every month on new glasses. They just weren't up to the job of a busy lunch and  dinner service. We needed something that looked good but could handle the pressure."

Robert Davies – General Manager

After switching to the Duralex GG911 glasses, the bar reported a staggering 80% drop in glassware breakages and  replacement orders within the first six months, significantly boosting their bottom line.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Always wash glasses thoroughly before their first use to remove any dust from manufacturing or transit.
  • Inspect each glass upon arrival to ensure there are no hairline cracks or chips from shipping.
  • Pre-heat glasses with warm water before filling with very hot liquids to further reduce thermal shock risk.

Keeping It Going

  • Use a designated glass rack in your commercial dishwasher to prevent glasses from knocking against each other.
  • Stack carefully, ensuring the rim of one glass doesn't rest heavily on the one below. The Gigogne design helps with this.
  • Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals, which can scratch the surface and  weaken the glass over time.
  • Allow glasses to cool to room temperature before stacking to prevent thermal stress.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Glassware

Feeling a bit lost in the world of glassware? Don't worry, here are a few pointers to help you pick the perfect tumblers for your business.

Material Matters

Toughened glass, like Duralex, is ideal for high-volume venues as it resists breakage. Crystal is more elegant but far more fragile, better for fine dining or cocktail bars.

Capacity and  Use

Think about your menu. Small 160ml tumblers are great for water or juice, while you'll need larger options for pints, soft drinks, or long cocktails.

Stackability is Your Friend

If back-of-house space is tight, glasses that stack neatly and  safely are a must-have. It prevents clutter and  reduces the risk of breakages.

Durability vs. Delicacy

Be honest about your environment. A busy pub needs workhorse glasses, whereas a quiet hotel bar can afford more delicate, premium options.

The CE Mark Explained

If you're serving measured drinks like wine, spirits, or beer by law, you need a glass with a CE (or UKCA) mark and  a line. For table water or unmeasured soft drinks, it's not necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these Duralex Gigogne 160ml tumblers genuinely stackable?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Gigogne range is famous for its recessed design which allows the glasses to nestle inside each other securely for stable, space-saving stacking.

Q: Can they handle the heat of a commercial glasswasher?

A: Yes, they are fully glasswasher safe and  designed to withstand the high temperatures and  rigorous cycles of commercial machines.

Q: What are Duralex GG911 glasses made from?

A: They are made from Duralex's own invention: tempered (or toughened) soda-lime glass, which is over twice as strong as standard glass.

Q: What is the exact capacity?

A: The capacity is 160ml, which is equivalent to about 5.6 fluid ounces (or 5¾oz).

Q: Are they suitable for serving hot drinks like tea or coffee?

A: While they are highly thermal-shock resistant, they are primarily designed for cold or warm drinks. For boiling-hot beverages, a dedicated mug or heatproof latte glass is usually recommended.

Q: Can you put them in the microwave?

A: Yes, they are microwave safe, which is handy for warming up milk or other small liquid portions.

Q: How many glasses are in a pack?

A: These are sold in a box of 6 glasses.

Q: Why aren't these glasses CE marked?

A: A CE mark is a legal requirement only for glasses used to sell a specific, measured volume of an alcoholic drink (like a 175ml glass of wine). As these are typically used for table water or unmeasured juices, they don't require the mark.

The Duralex Difference: A Legacy of French Durability

Choosing Duralex glassware is about more than just buying a drinking vessel; it’s an investment in a legacy of unmatched durability. Invented in France in 1945, Duralex tempered glass revolutionised the industry. This isn't just a product, it's a piece of design history, recognised by the Museum of Modern Art in New York for its iconic, minimalist form. For your business, this translates to tangible, long-term value. You're choosing peace of mind, knowing your glassware can withstand the daily knocks of a busy service. This reduces your replacement costs, ensures a consistent and  professional look on your tables, and  lowers the risk of accidents from breakages. It's the quiet confidence that comes from using equipment that was engineered, from day one, to simply last.

The Science of Strength: What Makes Toughened Glass So Tough?

Ever wondered what 'toughened' or 'tempered' glass actually means? It’s not just thicker glass; it's a clever bit of science. The glass is heated to over 600°C and then rapidly cooled with jets of cold air. This process makes the outer surface of the glass compress while the inside remains in tension. Think of it like a coiled spring on the surface of the glass, ready to resist knocks, bumps, and  sudden temperature changes that would shatter a normal glass. It’s what makes these commercial glass tumblers 160ml so incredibly durable and, crucially, safer. If it does finally break against all odds, it crumbles into small, blunt, cube-like pieces rather than dangerous sharp shards.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Bustling Cafés: The perfect, durable glass for serving tap water alongside coffees or for small, fresh juices.
  • Restaurants & Bistros: A classic and  robust choice for table water that withstands repeated, high-speed service cycles.
  • Schools & Canteens: An incredibly safe and  tough option that minimises breakages in high-volume, demanding environments.
  • Event Hire Companies: A reliable, stackable, and  hard-wearing tumbler that transports well and  endures constant use.
