Product Description
The Steelite Vivaldi Clear Rocks glass is a 245ml polycarbonate tumbler designed for commercial beverage service where durability and appearance both matter. Made from high-quality polycarbonate, it is intended as a direct replacement for glassware in environments where breakage is a practical concern — poolside service, outdoor dining, events, or high-footfall bars where glass is either prohibited or simply impractical.
Polycarbonate drinkware of this quality is built to withstand the rigours of commercial use without the constant attrition that comes with glass. The clarity of the Vivaldi range is notably better than standard polycarbonate — it retains a glass-like appearance in service, which matters in settings where presentation is part of the customer experience. The rocks format makes it well suited to spirits, soft drinks, water, and cocktails.
From an operational standpoint, the benefits are straightforward:
- Significantly reduces breakage losses compared to glassware
- Lightweight construction reduces fatigue for floor staff during busy service
- Suitable for commercial dishwasher use, supporting fast turnaround
- Consistent appearance across the set supports a uniform table presentation
- Supplied in a box of 12, practical for stock management and initial setup
There are practical considerations worth bearing in mind. Polycarbonate will scratch over time, particularly if cleaned with abrasive materials, and will eventually lose its clarity with heavy use — replacement cycles are shorter than glass but the cost-per-unit is lower. It is not suitable for hot beverages. For venues serving across a broad range of beverage types, it is worth considering whether a consistent polycarbonate range across glass sizes makes sense operationally.
The Vivaldi 245ml rocks glass is a sound choice for bars, event caterers, leisure venues, and any operation where polycarbonate is preferred or required. If you are equipping a larger site or sourcing across multiple glass formats, the team is happy to talk through what works best for your setting.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The Vivaldi range is designed specifically to address the appearance concern that often puts operators off polycarbonate — its clarity is considerably better than standard options, making it a reasonable choice for mid-market bars and casual dining. That said, for fine dining or venues where glassware is central to the guest experience, it is worth discussing whether polycarbonate is the right fit for your specific service style.
- Lifespan depends heavily on washing practice and frequency of use. Polycarbonate scratches over time, particularly with abrasive detergents or cloths, and will gradually lose clarity. In a high-turnover venue, a planned replacement cycle is more practical than expecting indefinite service life — though the lower unit cost relative to glassware generally makes this financially manageable.
- Yes, the Vivaldi polycarbonate tumblers are suitable for commercial dishwasher and glasswasher use. It is advisable to use detergents formulated for polycarbonate where possible, as harsh chemicals can accelerate clouding over time and shorten the usable life of the product.
