  • Built to Last: The toughened glass significantly reduces chips and  breakages during service.
  • Not for Draught: Being non-CE marked, they aren't suitable for serving pints or halves.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Drover's Arms, a bustling pub in Skipton, North Yorkshire, needed to replace their generic hi-ball glasses. The team was frustrated with the constant chipping and  breakages during their busy weekend services and  wash cycles.

"We were getting through a box of glasses a month from breakages alone, it was costing a fortune. Since switching to these Olympia Orleans toughened glass tumblers, our replacement rate has plummeted. They look the part and  they just don't break easily."

Mark Riley – Landlord

The pub reduced its glassware replacement costs by over 75% within the first three months of use.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Always wash glasses before first use to remove any factory dust or residue.
  • When stacking, place them gently and  avoid forcing them together to prevent pressure damage.
  • Check that your glasswasher racks are the right size to stop glasses from knocking together during the cycle.

Keeping It Going

  • To prevent cloudiness, make sure your glasswasher’s rinse aid and  salt levels are always topped up.
  • Avoid using abrasive scourers or steel wool, which can scratch the surface and  weaken the glass over time.
  • Regularly check the rims for any small nicks or chips and  take them out of service immediately.
  • Allow glasses to cool down a bit before stacking them to prevent stress from temperature changes.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Glassware

Not sure which glass is right for your venue? Here are a few key things to consider before you buy.

Durability First

Is your venue high-volume with a fast-paced service? Prioritise toughened or specialist glass to reduce breakages and  lower your long-term costs.

Stackability is Key

If back-bar or storage space is tight, look for glasses with a rim or base designed for neat and  stable stacking. It’s a simple space-saver.

Capacity & Markings

For serving draught beer, cider, or wine by the glass, you legally need UKCA/CE marked glassware at the correct capacity. Check this before buying.

Style & Atmosphere

Your glassware is part of your brand. Choose a style that complements your venue's look and  feel, from classic tumblers to elegant, fine-rimmed crystal.

Ease of Cleaning

Always check for a 'glasswasher safe' or 'dishwasher safe' certification. This is essential for a quick, easy, and  hygienic turnaround during busy periods.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these glasses really tougher than standard ones?

A: Absolutely. They undergo a special heat-treatment process that makes them significantly more resistant to both physical impact and  thermal shock from hot glasswashers.

Q: What does 'not CE marked' mean for my pub?

A: It means you cannot legally use them to serve measured draught drinks like pints or half-pints of beer. They are perfectly fine for spirits with mixers, cocktails, soft drinks, and  water.

Q: Can I stack these Orleans toughened glass tumblers?

A: Yes, these glasses are specifically designed to be stackable, which is a fantastic space-saver for any busy bar area or storeroom.

Q: Is the 285ml capacity measured to the brim?

A: Yes, commercial glassware capacity is typically measured to the brim. This size is ideal for a standard single spirit measure with a mixer.

Q: Will they go cloudy in my commercial glasswasher?

A: These dishwasher safe hi ball glasses are designed to stay clear. Cloudiness is usually caused by hard water or incorrect rinse aid levels, so ensuring your machine is correctly maintained will prevent this.

Q: Is there a benefit to the panelled design?

A: Beyond its classic aesthetic, the panelled sides can offer a slightly more secure grip compared to a completely smooth glass, which is helpful during a fast service.

Q: How many glasses are in one box?

A: This product, SKU GF927, is supplied as a box of 12 glasses, offering great value for money.

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

A: Although they are tough, these are designed as cold beverage glasses. We always recommend using purpose-made latte glasses or mugs for serving hot drinks safely.

Why Toughened Glass is a Bar's Best Friend

Ever wondered what 'toughened glass' really means? It’s not just thicker glass; it's a clever bit of science that makes it perfect for commercial use. Think of it like tempering steel for a sword. The glass is heated to over 600°C and then cooled rapidly. This process creates a super tough outer layer while locking tension inside. The result is a glass that's far more resistant to knocks and  thermal shock – like when a glass straight from a hot wash is filled with ice. And, as a crucial safety bonus, if it does ever break, it shatters into small, blunt-edged cubes rather than dangerous sharp shards. It’s a simple feature that makes a massive difference to safety and  durability behind the bar.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Pubs & Bars: Ideal for reliably serving a huge range of spirits, mixers, and  soft drinks every single night.
  • Restaurants & Bistros: A durable and  stylish water tumbler or soft drink glass that complements any table setting.
  • Hotels & Event Venues: Perfect for high-volume use in bars, conference rooms, and  for in-room beverage service.
  • Function & Catering Companies: A stackable, robust choice that's easy to transport and  withstands the rigours of any event.
