Delivery Information

Price Match

The Steelite Design+ Osteria is a polycarbonate wine glass holding 245ml, designed to replicate the look and feel of conventional glassware without the fragility. Made from polycarbonate rather than glass, it is shatterproof — an important practical consideration wherever broken glass presents a safety or operational risk.

In busy outdoor or poolside settings, conventional glassware is often restricted entirely. Polycarbonate drinkware like the Osteria allows operators to maintain a credible beverage presentation in those environments without compromising the guest experience. The material is robust enough to withstand the handling demands of high-turnover service, and the Osteria's profile is styled closely enough to a standard wine glass that it reads as proper tableware rather than a compromise product.

  • Shatterproof polycarbonate — suitable where glass is restricted or prohibited
  • Appropriate for wine and other beverage service in outdoor, rooftop, and poolside settings
  • Holds its appearance well under regular commercial use and washing cycles
  • Supplied in a box of 12, suited to batch stocking for events or seasonal outdoor covers

It is worth noting that polycarbonate, while durable, will show surface scratching over time if washed alongside abrasive items or with harsh chemicals. Using appropriate commercial glasswasher detergents will extend the service life of each glass.

This glass is well suited to venues with outdoor covers, rooftop bars, event spaces, or any setting where glass safety policies apply. Operators running higher-volume outdoor service may want to consider stocking in greater quantity given the throughput demands of busy summer periods.

If you are specifying drinkware for a new outdoor area or reviewing your current polycarbonate range, the team is happy to discuss what quantities and styles tend to work well in practice.

Frequently asked questions

Are these glasses suitable for use in a commercial glasswasher?

Polycarbonate drinkware is generally compatible with commercial glasswashers, but the detergent choice matters. Avoid high-chlorine or highly caustic chemicals, as these accelerate surface hazing and clouding over time. Using a detergent formulated for polycarbonate or a low-temperature glasswasher programme will extend the working life of each glass noticeably.

How many glasses would a typical outdoor bar operation need to stock?

That depends on your cover count, turn time, and wash cycle frequency. A rough working guide is to hold two to three times your peak outdoor cover count in stock to allow for glasses in use, glasses being washed, and a buffer for breakages or misplacement. For seasonal operations with unpredictable peaks, erring towards the higher end of that range tends to avoid service gaps.

Will polycarbonate glasses hold up to heavy daily use without deteriorating quickly?

Polycarbonate is significantly more durable than glass in impact terms, but it is not immune to wear. Surface scratching from abrasive cleaning or contact with cutlery and metal surfaces will gradually cloud the material, which affects appearance over time. With correct handling and appropriate washing, a commercial polycarbonate glass in regular service would typically remain presentable for a reasonable number of seasons before needing replacement.
