Product Description
The Steelite Design+ Double Old Fashioned is a 414ml polycarbonate tumbler designed to replicate the appearance of glass while removing the breakage risk associated with traditional glassware. Made from polycarbonate, these glasses are shatterproof, making them a practical choice wherever broken glass presents a genuine safety or operational problem.
In commercial hospitality settings, polycarbonate drinkware earns its place in situations where glass simply isn't viable. Poolside bars, roof terraces, festival and event catering, sports venues, and high-volume outdoor service areas are all environments where standard glassware creates unnecessary risk and waste. The Design+ range sits at the more considered end of the polycarbonate market — the clarity and profile are closer to glass than standard polycarbonate tumblers, which helps maintain presentation standards without compromising safety.
Practical advantages for operators include:
- Shatterproof construction reduces breakage costs and injury risk in high-traffic areas
- Polycarbonate material is significantly lighter than glass, easing carrying and reducing fatigue during busy service
- Suitable for dishwasher cleaning, supporting efficient turnaround during service
- Sold in boxes of 12, simplifying stock management and reordering
- Clear finish maintains a presentable look in front-of-house settings
It is worth noting that polycarbonate drinkware, over time and with repeated dishwasher cycles, can develop a cloudy appearance. Operators should avoid abrasive cleaners and follow manufacturer guidance on wash temperatures to extend the working life of the glasses. These are not a direct substitute for fine glassware in formal dining settings, but for the environments they are designed for, they perform reliably.
These tumblers are well suited to casual dining operations, leisure and hospitality venues, outdoor event catering, and any setting where a glassware ban or safety policy is in place. For venues requiring a broader polycarbonate range — including wine, hi-ball, or stemware formats — there are other profiles available within the Design+ collection.
If you are unsure whether polycarbonate drinkware is the right call for your operation, or need help selecting the right profiles for your service style, we are happy to talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes, polycarbonate drinkware is the standard solution in environments where glass is prohibited or restricted, such as poolside areas, rooftop terraces, sports grounds, and outdoor events. The Design+ range offers better clarity than standard polycarbonate, which helps maintain presentation where that matters to the operator.
- Polycarbonate is dishwasher compatible, but repeated high-temperature cycles and the use of harsh or abrasive detergents will gradually reduce clarity over time. Following the manufacturer's guidance on wash temperatures and using detergents appropriate for polycarbonate will extend their working life considerably.
- The double old fashioned format is a versatile tumbler suited to spirits served over ice, cocktails, long soft drinks, and water service. If your menu also includes wine, champagne, or hi-ball serves, the Design+ range includes other profiles that may complement these glasses across your front-of-house setup.
