Product Description
The Steelite Design+ Classic is a 245ml polycarbonate wine glass designed for commercial beverage service in environments where conventional glassware presents a safety or practical problem. Made from polycarbonate, each glass is shatterproof, making it a straightforward choice for outdoor terraces, rooftop bars, poolside areas, and festival or event catering where broken glass is a genuine operational and safety concern.
In practice, polycarbonate drinkware of this kind performs well across high-turnover service periods. The glasses are robust enough to handle repeated commercial use and the washing cycles that come with it, whilst retaining a clarity that more closely resembles glass than standard plastic alternatives. For operators who want to maintain a degree of presentation quality without the liability of breakages, this is a practical middle ground.
Key operational advantages include:
- Shatterproof construction eliminates breakage risk in high-risk service environments
- Suitable for outdoor, poolside and rooftop service where glass is prohibited or inadvisable
- Maintains presentation quality without the cost and risk of standard glassware
- Polycarbonate construction supports repeat commercial use and regular dishwashing
- Sold in boxes of 12, suited to batch purchasing for event and venue stock
It is worth noting that polycarbonate can scratch over time with abrasive cleaning, and fine scratches will gradually affect clarity. Operators should avoid steel wool or abrasive chemicals and follow the manufacturer's recommended care guidelines to extend service life.
These glasses are well suited to bars, hotels, event venues, and outdoor hospitality operations with regular demand for shatterproof beverage service. If you are equipping a larger venue or require a broader range of polycarbonate drinkware formats, it is worth considering whether a fuller range selection would better suit your service needs.
If you are unsure which drinkware specification fits your operation, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Polycarbonate drinkware can generally withstand commercial dishwasher cycles, but it is important to avoid abrasive detergents or very high wash temperatures, which can accelerate surface clouding and scratching. Following the manufacturer's care guidance will help maintain clarity and extend service life.
- Polycarbonate glasses of this type offer considerably better clarity than standard plastic alternatives and are a practical choice where presentation still matters but glass is unsuitable or prohibited. Over time, fine scratching from routine use can reduce clarity, so stock rotation is worth factoring into your planning for high-volume sites.
- They are commonly used in outdoor bars, hotel pool areas, rooftop venues, festival catering operations, and any setting where no-glass policies are in place or where the risk of breakage during service is a practical concern. They are not typically intended as a direct like-for-like replacement for fine dining glassware.
