Product Description
The Steelite Vivaldi Double Old Fashioned is a 355ml polycarbonate tumbler designed for commercial bar and restaurant environments where glassware breakage is a persistent operational concern. Made from polycarbonate rather than glass, it presents with a clarity that sits closer to traditional glassware than most plastic alternatives, while offering the durability that busy service demands.
In high-volume settings — poolside bars, outdoor terraces, sports venues, and late-night venues — polycarbonate tumblers like the Vivaldi earn their place by surviving the conditions that would see conventional glassware constantly replaced. The material withstands repeated drops, dishwasher cycles, and the general rigours of fast-paced service without clouding or cracking under normal use.
From an operational standpoint, the key practical advantages are:
- Lightweight construction reduces server fatigue during long, busy services
- Polycarbonate construction removes the risk of glass contamination in applicable settings
- Suitable for a wide range of beverages including soft drinks, water, spirits, and cocktails
- Dishwasher safe for straightforward turnaround between services
- Supplied in a box of 12, making stock management and ordering straightforward
It is worth noting that polycarbonate tumblers, however well made, will show wear over time with heavy use and aggressive dishwasher chemicals. Using dedicated polycarbonate-safe detergents will extend their service life considerably. They are not intended as a permanent substitute for glassware in all settings, but are well suited to environments where safety regulations or practical conditions make glass unsuitable.
The Vivaldi DOF is a sensible choice for licensed venues with outdoor service areas, leisure facilities, event caterers, and any operation where glass-free service is either required or preferred. If you are equipping a larger site or need guidance on quantities and suitable formats for your service style, we are happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes — polycarbonate drinkware is commonly specified for outdoor terraces, poolside bars, and leisure facilities precisely because it eliminates the breakage and contamination risks associated with glass. The Vivaldi's clarity means it presents well even in settings where aesthetics matter.
- Polycarbonate tumblers should be washed using detergents formulated for plasticware — standard glass washing chemicals, particularly those with high chlorine content, can cause clouding and surface degradation over time. Keeping wash temperatures within the manufacturer's recommended range will also help extend service life.
- A general starting point for bar and restaurant settings is three times your peak cover count, allowing for glasses in service, in the wash, and in reserve. For high-turnover or event-based operations the ratio is often higher. If you are unsure what quantity makes sense for your setup, we can help you work through it.
