- Real-World Resilience: These are remarkably tough and withstand the daily grind of a busy service.
- Traditional Styling: The classic panelled look may not suit venues with an ultra-contemporary aesthetic.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Mariner's Rest, a popular harbourside pub in Whitby, was struggling with high glassware turnover due to chips and breakages during the hectic summer tourist season. They needed a more robust solution that didn't compromise on their classic pub aesthetic.
"We were practically throwing money in the bin with our old glasses. Switching to these Olympia Orleans tumblers has been brilliant. They look the part, feel solid, and they've stood up to everything our busiest days can throw at them. A genuinely sound investment."
Robert Davies – Pub Landlord
Since making the switch, the pub has cut its glassware replacement budget by over 50%, freeing up funds for other areas of the business.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, run all glasses through a wash cycle to remove any dust from manufacturing or transit.
- Inspect each glass upon unboxing to ensure there was no damage during shipping.
- When stacking, avoid forcing them together. The design allows them to nest neatly without pressure.
- Ensure your under-counter storage is clean, dry, and free from any sharp edges.
Keeping It Going
- To prevent clouding ('blooming'), ensure your glasswasher's rinse aid and water softener are regularly topped up.
- Avoid putting metal spoons or other utensils inside the glasses as this can cause scratches that weaken the surface.
- Try not to take a glass straight from a hot wash cycle and immediately fill it with ice and cold liquid to prevent rare thermal shock.
- Handle with care. While tough, they are still glass! A drop onto a hard tile floor will likely still cause a break.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these glasses really stronger than standard ones?
A: Yes, absolutely. The 'fully toughened' process makes them up to five times more resistant to impact damage, meaning fewer chips and cracks in a busy commercial environment.
Q: Can I stack these Orleans hi ball glasses?
A: Yes, they are specifically designed to be stackable, which is a huge space-saver for any bar with limited shelf space.
Q: Will they go cloudy after many cycles in the glasswasher?
A: Cloudiness is usually caused by hard water or incorrect detergent levels, not the glass itself. With proper machine maintenance and the right chemicals, these glasses will remain sparkling clear.
Q: What is the capacity in ounces?
A: The capacity is 425ml, which is approximately 15 fluid ounces (oz), making it a versatile option.
Q: Is the panelled design easy to grip?
A: Yes, many users find the panelled design provides a more secure and comfortable grip compared to smooth-sided glasses, especially when wet.
Q: Are these suitable for serving pints of beer or cider?
A: While not a traditional pint pot, their 425ml capacity is perfect for serving bottled beers, craft ales, or ciders with room for a small head.
Q: What does the 'Orleans' name refer to?
A: 'Orleans' is the name of this specific product line from Olympia, distinguished by its classic multi-faceted, panelled design.
Q: Is the rim beaded for extra strength?
A: The strength comes from the toughening process across the entire glass. The rim is smooth and comfortable to drink from while still being highly durable.

Explore more from OlympiaWhat 'Toughened Glass' Actually Means For Your Bar
Ever wondered what makes 'toughened' glass different? It's not just thicker glass; it's a clever bit of science that saves you money. The glass is heated to over 600°C and then cooled rapidly. This process creates tension, a bit like a tightly coiled spring. The outer surfaces are compressed while the inside remains in tension.
Think of it like a protective shield. This internal stress means the glass can withstand much greater impacts and sudden temperature changes (thermal shock) than standard 'annealed' glass. So, when a glass is accidentally knocked against a beer tap or clattered in a sink, it's far less likely to chip or shatter. It's this process that turns a simple glass into a reliable piece of commercial equipment.
