Delivery Information

Price Match

The Steelite Design+ champagne flute is a polycarbonate alternative to conventional glassware, holding 166ml and sold in boxes of twelve. Made from polycarbonate rather than glass, each flute is shatterproof, making it a practical choice wherever broken glass presents a safety or operational risk.

In commercial service, the flute performs well in environments where standard glassware is impractical or prohibited. Rooftop bars, poolside service, festival hospitality, and large outdoor events are typical settings. The polycarbonate construction means pieces can be handled with less care than glass during collection and transport, which reduces breakage losses and the time staff spend managing shattered items during busy service periods.

Key practical considerations for operators:

  • Shatterproof polycarbonate construction — no glass breakage risk
  • 166ml capacity — appropriate for standard champagne and sparkling wine pours
  • Sold in boxes of twelve — practical for stock management and event quantities
  • Lightweight enough for tray service at volume
  • Surface designed to retain the appearance of glassware in presentation settings

It is worth noting that polycarbonate drinkware requires careful cleaning. High-temperature commercial dishwashers and abrasive detergents can cloud or scratch the surface over time, shortening service life. Hand washing or low-temperature cycles are generally recommended by manufacturers to maintain clarity. Operators should factor this into their cleaning procedures before committing to large quantities.

This flute is well suited to outdoor hospitality venues, event caterers, and licensed premises with poolside or rooftop areas where glass is restricted. For indoor fine dining where glass remains acceptable, a conventional crystal or lead-free glass flute may better suit the setting.

If you are unsure whether polycarbonate drinkware is the right fit for your operation, we are happy to talk through your service requirements.

Frequently asked questions

Are these flutes suitable for commercial dishwashers?

Polycarbonate is sensitive to high wash temperatures and harsh detergents, which can cause clouding or surface scratching over time. Low-temperature cycles and polycarbonate-safe detergents are generally recommended to maintain clarity and extend service life. It is worth reviewing your dishwasher settings and chemical programme before committing to regular machine washing.

How many boxes would a typical outdoor event require?

This depends on your service style, turnaround time, and whether a glasswash facility is on site. As a rough guide, operators running a reception service without on-site washing often allow two to three pieces per guest to cover breakages, losses, and simultaneous use. If you have a sense of your guest numbers and service format, we can help you work out a sensible opening quantity.

Is 166ml the right size for a standard champagne pour?

A standard UK licensed champagne measure is 125ml, so the 166ml flute provides adequate headspace for a measured pour without overfilling. This capacity works well for reception and toast service. If you are serving larger pours or running a coupe-style cocktail service, a wider or larger-capacity polycarbonate piece may be more appropriate.
