Duralex

The Duralex Picardie is one of the most widely recognised tumblers in commercial catering. Made from toughened glass, it has been a reliable staple in cafes, canteens, brasseries and bars for decades — and its continued presence in professional kitchens is a reasonable measure of how well it holds up in daily service.

The 250ml size sits at the smaller end of the Picardie range, making it a practical choice for juice service, soft drinks, water, or as a side glass. The classic stackable profile keeps back-bar and shelf storage straightforward, and the toughened construction means it handles the routine knocks of a busy pass or glasswasher cycle without the fragility you'd expect from standard glassware.

A few practical points worth noting:

• Toughened glass offers significantly better resistance to thermal shock and impact than standard glass
• Glasswasher safe, which keeps turnaround efficient during busy service
• Microwave safe where drinks need to be warmed before service
• Stackable profile reduces storage footprint
• Sold in packs of six, which suits both initial stock and top-up purchasing

These tumblers are well suited to canteens, school catering, cafes and casual dining operations where durability and straightforward serviceability matter more than premium presentation. Higher-volume operations or those running larger drink formats may want to consider a larger size within the Picardie range to reduce refill frequency.

If you're unsure which size or quantity is right for your operation, the team is happy to help you work that out before you order.

The Duralex Provence is a 20cl tempered glass tumbler with a lightly textured, faceted profile that sets it apart from a plain straight-sided glass without overstating the design. It is made from toughened glass using a thermal tempering process, which significantly increases its resistance to mechanical impact and thermal shock compared with standard annealed glassware.

In a busy service environment, glassware takes a considerable amount of daily stress — from repeated dishwasher cycles to being stacked, handled quickly, and filled with cold drinks straight from the chiller. The thermal shock resistance of the Provence means it handles the transition between cold liquids and dishwasher heat without the micro-fractures that can gradually weaken ordinary glass. This translates to a longer serviceable lifespan and fewer unexpected breakages mid-service.

Practical advantages for front-of-house operations include:

• Toughened construction reduces replacement frequency compared with standard glassware
• Dishwasher safe and suitable for high-cycle commercial washers
• Consistent sizing makes stacking and storage straightforward
• The faceted pattern adds visual interest without complicating cleaning
• Suitable for water, soft drinks, juice service, and casual bar use

At 20cl, the Provence sits at the smaller end of the tumbler range, making it a practical choice for juice portions, children's drinks, or water service alongside a meal. It is well suited to cafés, casual dining operations, hotel breakfast service, and pub food covers. For operations needing a larger capacity for the same style, the Provence is available in other sizes within the range.

If you are unsure whether this size is the right fit for your service style or volume, we are happy to talk it through.

The Duralex Gigogne is a stackable tempered glass hi-ball suitable for everyday commercial service. The curved profile and embossed banding give it a clean, classic appearance that works equally well for water, juice, soft drinks, and cocktails. It holds 360ml, making it a practical all-round size for table service and counter use alike.

Tempered glass is a sensible choice in high-turnover environments. Duralex's tempering process produces glass that is meaningfully harder-wearing than standard soda-lime glassware, and if a glass does break, it tends to fragment into small, blunt pieces rather than sharp shards — a relevant safety consideration in any busy kitchen or bar area. The Gigogne also tolerates the thermal cycling of commercial dishwasher use reliably, which matters when glasses are going through the machine multiple times a day during service.

From an operational standpoint, the key practical benefits are:

• Stackable design reduces storage footprint and speeds up mise en place
• Dishwasher safe — handles repeated commercial wash cycles without issue
• Tempered construction resists chipping better than standard glassware
• Suitable for both hot and cold beverages, giving flexible menu use
• 48-unit pack quantity supports a full section without frequent restocking

The main consideration is volume. For high-turnover bars or large-format venues running multiple sittings, a 48-pack may form one part of a larger glassware holding rather than covering all requirements on its own. It is worth thinking through par levels before ordering.

These glasses are well suited to cafés, casual dining restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and pub food operations where a reliable, presentable everyday hi-ball is needed in quantity. If you are equipping a site and want guidance on quantities or glassware mix, the team is happy to help you work it through.

The Duralex Gigogne is a compact toughened glass tumbler in a classic stackable design, holding 90ml. It is widely used in cafés, brasseries, and hospitality settings for serving espresso, juice, or small cold drinks. The rounded profile and tapered stack make it practical for storage and service alike.

Toughened glass offers meaningfully better resistance to knocks and thermal shock than standard glassware, which matters in a busy service environment where glassware is handled quickly and passed through a glasswasher multiple times daily. The Gigogne range has a long track record in commercial use precisely because it holds up well under that kind of routine.

• Toughened construction reduces breakage risk during busy service
• Stackable design saves storage space behind the bar or on shelving
• Glasswasher safe for fast turnaround between services
• Microwave safe where required for warm drink service
• Classic profile works across café, brasserie, and bistro settings

At 90ml, this is a small-format glass suited to espresso, cortado, or single-shot juice service. It is not intended for full cold drink or water service — operators needing a larger format should look at higher-capacity tumblers within the Gigogne range. Sold in a pack of six, which suits most operators as a top-up quantity rather than a full opening order for high-volume sites.

If you are unsure how many to stock relative to your cover count or glasswasher cycle time, we are happy to talk it through.

The Duralex Gigogne is a toughened glass tumbler in a familiar, rounded stackable profile that has been a fixture in cafés, brasseries, and canteens for decades. At 220ml it sits comfortably in the smaller end of the tumbler range — practical for juice, espresso accompaniments, water service, or soft drinks where a full-size glass would be excessive.

Toughened glass performs meaningfully differently from standard glassware in a busy service environment. It resists the knocks of a busy pass, handles repeated glasswasher cycles without clouding as quickly, and when it does break, it tends to do so more safely than untreated glass. The Gigogne's stackable form also helps with storage efficiency behind a bar or on a glasswasher shelf.

Operationally, these glasses are straightforward to manage:

• Toughened construction handles heavy daily glasswasher use reliably
• Stackable profile keeps storage compact in tight back-of-house spaces
• Microwave safe, useful where drinks or water are warmed before service
• Classic neutral design suits most café, bistro, or canteen table settings
• Sold in a pack of six, practical for topping up existing stocks

There are no installation requirements. These are ambient-temperature smallwares and need only appropriate storage. The main practical consideration is choosing the right size for your service style — at 220ml, this is a smaller tumbler, and operations serving larger cold drinks or water glasses at table may find a larger format more suitable. Packs of six are well suited to smaller operations or supplementing existing stock; higher-volume sites may want to consider ordering in greater quantity.

If you are building out a full glassware range or are unsure whether this size fits your service needs, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Duralex Picardie is one of the most widely recognised tumblers in commercial hospitality. The hi ball format at 360ml sits comfortably in the range for soft drinks, juice service, and long mixed drinks, making it a practical all-rounder across a broad range of front-of-house settings.

Duralex toughens the Picardie during manufacture using a thermal tempering process, which significantly increases resistance to everyday knocks, chips, and the thermal shock of repeated glasswasher cycles. In practice, this translates to a longer working life compared to standard annealed glassware — a meaningful consideration when replacing breakages is a routine overhead cost. The glass is also microwave safe, which is occasionally useful in café and canteen environments where drinks are served warm.

From an operational standpoint, the Picardie offers a few practical advantages worth noting:

• Toughened construction reduces breakage rates in busy service environments
• Glasswasher safe, supporting fast turnaround during peak service
• Stackable profile makes storage and handling straightforward
• Simple, unbranded design works across multiple service concepts
• Pack of six provides a sensible starting quantity for trial or top-up ordering

The pack of six is suited to smaller operations building or refreshing stock, though high-volume venues — busy bars, large canteens, or event catering operations — will typically want to consider ordering in larger quantities to maintain adequate cover through service. The Picardie range is available across multiple sizes, so if 360ml is not the right volume for your drinks menu, there are smaller and larger formats within the same family.

If you are unsure how many glasses you need to cover your expected covers or turnaround time, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Duralex Picardie tumbler is one of the most widely used glasses in commercial foodservice — a straightforward, stackable tumblers that has been a reliable choice for canteens, cafes, brasseries and bars for decades. The 310ml size sits comfortably in the mid-range, suitable for soft drinks, juice, water service, and short mixed drinks.

Made from toughened glass, Picardie tumblers are noticeably more resistant to knocks and thermal shock than standard glassware. In busy service environments where glasses are handled quickly and cycled through glasswashers multiple times a day, that durability matters. They won't eliminate breakages entirely, but operators consistently find the attrition rate lower than with untoughened alternatives.

• Toughened construction handles daily glasswasher cycling reliably
• Stackable profile reduces storage space and speeds up service reset
• Microwave safe, useful in café and canteen settings
• Classic shape works across informal dining, cafeteria, and bar use
• Sold in packs of 6, straightforward to order in multiples to suit cover numbers

These are a practical choice for most mid-volume sites. For very high-turnover operations running hundreds of covers, it's worth considering whether a polycarbonate alternative or a larger pack format would better suit stock rotation needs.

If you're unsure how many glasses to hold in reserve for your cover count, or whether this size fits your service style, we're happy to talk it through.

The Duralex Picardie is one of the most widely recognised tumblers in commercial catering — a stackable, toughened glass that has been a practical choice for canteens, cafés, bistros and bars for decades. The 130ml size is the smaller of the Picardie range, commonly used for fruit juice portions, espresso accompaniments, amuse-bouche service, or as a small water glass where portion control matters.

Duralex toughened glass is meaningfully more resistant to knocks, thermal shock and the repeated mechanical stress of busy glasswasher cycles than standard annealed glassware. In high-turnover environments, that translates directly into fewer breakages and lower replacement costs over time. The classic tapered profile also allows the glasses to stack safely, which helps with storage in compact back-of-house areas and speeds up reset between covers.

• Toughened construction handles repeated glasswasher cycles reliably
• Stackable profile supports compact storage and efficient service reset
• Suitable for juice service, water, or small beverage portions
• Microwave safe, adding flexibility for certain service formats
• Classic shape works across a wide range of front-of-house settings

Being toughened glass, the Picardie is glasswasher safe and microwave safe, which suits most commercial service routines without the handling restrictions that come with crystal or delicate barware. It is worth noting that toughened glass, when it does break, tends to shatter more completely than standard glass — staff should be aware of this in line with your kitchen's broken glass policy.

This 130ml format is well suited to cafés, school and workplace canteens, hotel breakfast operations, and any setting where a small, controlled portion glass is needed in volume. If your operation requires a larger tumbler for table water or soft drinks, the Picardie range is available in larger capacities. If you are unsure which size fits your service style, we are happy to help you work through the options.

Duralex tumblers are a long-established choice in commercial hospitality, and this 200ml stacking version is one of the more practical sizes in the range. Made from toughened glass, they are designed to withstand the knocks and thermal stress of a busy service environment — whether that is a cafe counter, a staff canteen, or a pub back bar.

The 200ml capacity makes these well suited to cold soft drinks, juice portions, and water service where a smaller serve is appropriate. The stackable profile keeps storage organised and reduces the footprint behind the bar or on shelving, which matters in tighter service areas.

In day-to-day use, the key advantages are straightforward:

• Toughened glass construction handles regular glasswasher cycles without deterioration
• Stacking design keeps storage compact and retrieval quick during busy service
• Consistent sizing supports portion control for juice and soft drink service
• Proven durability reduces breakage rates compared with standard annealed glass
• Available in a pack of six, suited to topping up existing stock

These tumblers are glasswasher safe, which is the practical minimum for any commercial operation. The toughened construction does not make them unbreakable, but it significantly reduces the frequency of breakage under normal service conditions and helps manage replacement costs over time.

A pack of six is sensible for supplementing an existing set or trialling the range before committing to larger quantities. For higher-volume venues running multiple sittings, it is worth considering how many covers you need to turn before making a decision on pack quantities.

If you are unsure which capacity or quantity best fits your service pattern, we are happy to talk it through.

The Duralex Provence tumbler is a small, straight-sided toughened glass widely used across cafés, bistros, restaurants, and hospitality operations throughout the UK. At 160ml it is most commonly used for juice portions, espresso accompaniments, or small soft drink serves, making it a practical choice for any establishment where portion control and consistency matter at the table.

Duralex's toughened glass construction is well established in the catering industry. The tempering process makes these tumblers considerably more resistant to breakage from everyday knocks, stacking, and glasswasher cycles than standard soda-lime glassware. Operators running high-turnover service will appreciate that resistance to chipping and shattering helps reduce ongoing replacement costs over time.

• Toughened glass for improved resistance to breakage in daily service
• Glasswasher safe for straightforward, high-volume cleaning
• Suitable for juice, water, and small soft drink portions
• Consistent sizing supports uniform presentation across covers
• Supplied in a pack of six, practical for topping up existing stock

These are a sensible, reliable everyday tumbler rather than a premium presentation glass. They are best suited to operations where durability and practicality take priority — canteens, school catering, cafés, and informal dining. For establishments seeking a larger tumbler for full soft drink or water service, a higher-capacity option from the same range may be more appropriate.

If you are unsure how many to order for your covers or service style, we are happy to help you work through it.

The Duralex Provence is a compact 250ml tumbler from one of the most recognised names in commercial glassware. Made from toughened glass, it is designed to withstand the rigours of daily service — repeated glasswasher cycles, busy pass environments, and the general handling that comes with high-turnover covers.

Duralex glassware has a long-standing reputation in the hospitality trade for holding up where standard glass would not. The toughening process increases resistance to thermal shock and impact, which matters in a working kitchen where breakages cost time and money. The Provence shape is practical and stackable, making storage and table setting straightforward.

• Toughened glass construction for improved resistance to breakage
• Glasswasher safe — suitable for high-frequency washing cycles
• Compact 250ml capacity suits water, soft drinks, and juice service
• Practical profile that handles and stores well in busy service environments
• Sold in packs of 6, convenient for topping up existing stock

These tumblers are well suited to cafés, casual dining restaurants, staff canteens, and hotel breakfast operations where a reliable, no-fuss glass is needed in volume. They are not a premium crystal product — that is not what they are designed to be. For operators who need straightforward, durable glassware that performs consistently and keeps replacement costs manageable, the Provence is a practical choice.

If you are equipping a new site or trying to work out the right quantity for your covers, we are happy to help you think it through.

The Duralex Picardie is one of the most recognisable tumblers in commercial catering — a stackable, toughened glass in the classic tapered Picardie profile that has been a fixture in canteens, cafés, brasseries and bars for decades. The 90ml size is the smallest in the Picardie range, commonly used for espresso service, juice shots, amuse-bouche accompaniments, or as a small water glass at a table cover.

Duralex toughened glass is meaningfully more resistant to knocks, drops and rapid temperature changes than standard soda-lime glassware. In a busy service environment that matters — these glasses go through glasswashers repeatedly without the clouding and micro-fracturing that shortens the life of cheaper alternatives. The toughening process also means that when a glass does eventually break, it tends to fragment into small blunt pieces rather than dangerous shards, which is a practical safety consideration in any kitchen or front-of-house setting.

For operators, the practical case for Picardie comes down to a few straightforward points:

• Glasswasher safe — suitable for high-cycle commercial machines
• Stackable design reduces storage footprint and speeds up resetting covers
• Consistent sizing makes portion control straightforward for juice and shot service
• Toughened construction supports a longer service life under daily use
• Microwave safe where a warming application is needed

At this size, the 90ml Picardie suits operations that serve espresso, shots, or small juice portions as part of a table service or counter offer. If your volume is high and breakage replacement is a regular cost, it is worth considering whether to hold a deeper stock. If you are unsure which size across the Picardie range suits your cover count or service style, the team are happy to help you work that out before you order.

The Duralex Jazz is a short, stackable tumbler made from tempered glass, sized for old fashioned serves, spirits, juice, and soft drinks. Supplied in a pack of 48, it is a practical choice for operators who need a consistent, reliable glass across a busy front-of-house operation.

Tempered glass behaves quite differently to standard glassware in a commercial setting. It withstands the repeated thermal cycling of dishwasher use without degrading at the rate ordinary glass does, and if a glass does break, it fragments into small blunt pieces rather than sharp shards — a meaningful consideration in any busy service environment. The Jazz has been a long-standing choice for cafés, bars, pubs, and hotel beverage service precisely because it holds up well under daily volume.

From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are straightforward:

• Significantly more resistant to impact and thermal shock than standard glass
• Dishwasher safe, supporting fast turnaround through commercial glasswashers
• Suitable for both hot and cold beverages
• Consistent shape aids stacking and storage efficiency
• The pack quantity of 48 covers a meaningful service float without multiple orders

There are no special handling requirements beyond standard glassware practice. The Jazz is suited to most commercial glasswashers and requires no unusual storage provision. It is worth noting that tempered glass, while more durable, is not unbreakable — operators running very high-volume or rough service environments may want to consider polycarbonate alternatives for outdoor or festival use.

This glass is well suited to cafés, bars, restaurants, hotel buffets, and staff canteens where a reliable, everyday tumbler is needed at volume. For lighter-duty or lower-volume requirements, smaller pack sizes may be a more practical starting point.

If you are unsure whether the 210ml size suits your intended serve or want guidance on glassware quantities for your operation, the team is happy to help you work it through.

The Duralex Picardie is a tempered glass tumbler with a long-established presence in commercial front-of-house settings. The 20cl size makes it a practical option for water, juice, soft drinks, and spirits service. Its gently faceted profile gives it a clean, understated appearance that works across a range of table settings without looking out of place.

Duralex tempered glass is noticeably more resistant to knocks and thermal shock than standard glassware, which matters in a busy service environment where glasses cycle rapidly from chiller to table and through a commercial dishwasher multiple times a day. It won't handle abuse indefinitely, but it holds up considerably better under everyday service pressure than ordinary glass.

• Tempered construction resists chipping and breakage under normal service conditions
• Thermal shock resistance supports safe dishwasher use straight from cold storage
• Compact, stackable form helps with storage and front-of-house organisation
• Neutral styling suits cafés, restaurants, staff canteens, and contract catering
• Lightweight at 168g, reducing fatigue during high-volume table service

At 20cl this is a smaller tumbler, suited to side water service, juice portions, or spirit measures. Operations needing a larger capacity for primary water or soft drink service should consider a bigger size from the Picardie range.

If you're unsure which size or quantity suits your covers and service style, we're happy to talk it through.

The Duralex Provence tumbler is one of the most widely recognised pieces of glassware in professional hospitality. Made from toughened glass, the 90ml size is a compact format used across cafés, restaurants, and contract catering operations — typically for fruit juice portions, espresso accompaniments, or small cold beverages where a consistent, controlled serve is needed.

Duralex's toughening process gives the glass considerably more resistance to thermal shock and impact than standard soda-lime glassware. In a busy service environment, where glasses are loaded into a glasswasher multiple times a day, handled quickly during clearing, and stacked in quantity, that durability matters. The Provence range has a long track record in commercial settings precisely because it holds up under the kind of daily throughput that would shorten the life of less robust alternatives.

From an operational standpoint, the 90ml format offers a few practical advantages:

• Consistent portion control for juice or soft drink service
• Glasswasher safe — handles repeated high-temperature cycles reliably
• Stackable profile supports compact storage during and between services
• Toughened construction reduces breakage rates compared with standard glassware
• Supplied in a pack of six — practical for topping up existing stock

It is worth noting that toughened glass, while significantly more durable than standard glassware, is not unbreakable. Chipped rims should be removed from service in the usual way. The 90ml capacity is a specific, intentional serve size — operators needing a larger tumbler for the same range should look at the broader Provence line, which includes several other capacities.

If you are unsure which size or quantity best suits your service style or current glass stock, the team are happy to help you work it out.

The Duralex Provence tumbler is a small-format toughened glass tumbler from one of the most recognised names in commercial glassware. At 130ml, this is a compact vessel suited to juice portions, espresso accompaniments, or side-water service — common requirements in cafés, breakfast operations, and casual dining environments.

Duralex glass is produced through a tempering process that makes it significantly more resistant to thermal shock and impact than standard soda-lime glass. In a busy wash-up environment, that resilience matters. These tumblers handle the daily cycle of service, clearing, and glasswashing without the fragility that causes breakage rates to climb. The toughened construction also means that when breakage does occur, the glass tends to fragment into smaller, safer pieces rather than large shards.

From an operational standpoint, the Provence range offers a few practical advantages worth noting:

• Glasswasher safe — compatible with standard commercial glasswashing cycles
• Stackable profile reduces storage footprint behind the bar or in service areas
• Consistent, simple shape is easy to handle at speed during service
• Toughened construction supports a longer service life under heavy daily use
• Sold in packs of six, suited to incremental stock building

These are compact tumblers, and that capacity is a consideration. For operations needing a larger juice glass, water tumbler, or general-purpose drink vessel, a higher-capacity option from the Provence range or a similar toughened glass collection would be more appropriate. The 130ml size is best treated as a specialist portion-control glass rather than a general-purpose tumbler.

If you are building out glassware stocks across multiple cover sizes or service styles and want to talk through quantities or glass types, the team is happy to help.

The Duralex Picardie is one of the most widely recognised tumblers in commercial catering — a classic stackable shape that has been a fixture in canteens, brasseries, cafés and bistros for decades. This marine blue variant offers the same proven construction as the clear original, with a subtle tinted finish that suits more relaxed or informal service settings.

Made from toughened glass, Picardie tumblers are built to withstand the knocks of regular commercial use. The toughening process makes them considerably more resistant to thermal shock and impact than standard glassware, which matters when volumes are high and turnaround between covers is quick. They are glasswasher safe, which keeps service moving without the need for hand-washing.

• Toughened construction handles the rigours of busy service and repeated glasswashing cycles
• Stackable profile makes storage practical where back-of-house space is limited
• Glasswasher and microwave safe, reducing handling time between covers
• Marine blue tint suits casual dining, canteen, and café environments
• A recognised, proven product widely used across commercial hospitality

At 220ml these are compact tumblers — well suited to soft drinks, water, or juice service rather than long mixed drinks. For operations that need a larger format, the Picardie range is available in bigger capacities. The marine blue finish may not suit every front-of-house aesthetic, so it is worth considering alongside the clear version if you are equipping a more formal dining setting.

If you are unsure which size or finish best fits your service style or cover count, the team is happy to help you work through it.

The Duralex Gigogne is a toughened glass tumbler in a compact, rounded profile that has been a fixture in commercial hospitality for decades. At 160ml, this is a small-serve tumbler suited to juice, water, or soft drinks, and the classic stackable design makes it practical where storage and speed of service both matter.

Toughened glass construction means the Gigogne withstands the rigours of busy service and repeated glasswasher cycles significantly better than standard glassware. The material resists thermal shock and everyday knocks, which reduces breakage rates in high-turnover environments — a meaningful operational consideration when you are running through hundreds of covers.

• Toughened glass for improved resistance to breakage and thermal shock
• Stackable profile keeps storage compact and service efficient
• Glasswasher and microwave safe for straightforward operation
• Classic rounded design suits a wide range of hospitality settings
• Supplied in packs of six for easy stock management

The 160ml capacity makes this tumbler best suited to juice portions, children's drinks, or controlled soft drink serves rather than full table-water service, where a larger format would be more appropriate. If your operation requires a higher-volume tumbler or a larger serve size, there are alternative sizes in the Gigogne range worth considering.

If you are unsure whether this size fits your service format or you need guidance on quantities for your covers, we are happy to talk it through.

The Duralex Picardie tumbler is one of the most widely used tumblers in commercial catering. Made from toughened glass, the Picardie has been a fixture in canteens, cafes, brasseries and staff restaurants for decades — recognised by its classic straight-sided profile and consistent stackability. This marine blue variant offers the same proven durability as the clear version, with a tinted finish that works well where operators want a degree of visual differentiation on the pass or table.

In service, toughened glass of this type handles the routine knocks and stacking pressures of a busy operation far better than standard glass. The 310ml capacity suits a broad range of cold drinks — juice, water, soft drinks — and the format is compact enough to stack and store efficiently even in limited glassware storage. Being glasswasher safe, they integrate cleanly into standard warewashing cycles without requiring any special handling.

• Toughened construction — more resistant to breakage than standard glass
• Glasswasher safe for straightforward daily turnaround
• Stackable profile to minimise storage footprint
• Microwave safe where operators need that flexibility
• Supplied as a 48-pack — suitable for stocking a service from the outset

These are a practical, no-fuss choice for operations that need reliable, consistent glassware in reasonable volume. The 48-pack quantity suits a café, canteen or small bar setting well. Higher-volume sites running multiple sittings may want to consider a larger opening order to maintain a working buffer through the glasswasher cycle.

If you're unsure whether this capacity or pack size is right for your service volume, the team is happy to help you work it out.
