Product Description
The Steelite Design+ Footed Pilsner is a 473ml polycarbonate drinkware piece designed for venues where conventional glassware presents a safety or practical risk. Produced by Strahl under the Steelite portfolio, it is shaped to replicate the look of a traditional footed pilsner glass while being constructed from shatterproof polycarbonate throughout.
Polycarbonate drinkware of this type is commonly used in outdoor hospitality settings where broken glass creates a genuine hazard — rooftop bars, poolside service areas, festival bars, and licensed outdoor terraces. The material holds up well to the handling demands of busy service, and the footed profile means it presents respectably on a tray or table rather than reading as a functional compromise.
Practical advantages for operators include:
- Shatterproof construction eliminates broken glass risk in outdoor or high-footfall areas
- Footed profile maintains a presentable, glassware-like appearance for guests
- Polycarbonate material is lightweight, reducing tray weight during service
- Suitable for commercial glasswasher use, supporting fast turnaround
- Sold in a box of 12, practical for bar stock management
It is worth noting that polycarbonate, while durable, will scratch over time with repeated commercial washing and may cloud if washed at excessively high temperatures or with abrasive chemicals. Replacing worn stock periodically is standard practice in venues using polycarbonate drinkware extensively.
This glass suits outdoor licensed venues, poolside bars, event caterers, and any operator who needs a presentable pilsner format without the liability of breakage. For venues running high-volume indoor service where presentation is the primary concern, traditional glassware alternatives may be worth considering.
If you are specifying drinkware across multiple formats or need guidance on quantities for your service volume, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes, polycarbonate drinkware of this type is generally compatible with commercial glasswashers, but wash temperature and chemical concentration should be kept within the manufacturer's recommended limits. Excessively high temperatures or harsh detergents can cause clouding or accelerate surface wear over time.
- Service life varies depending on wash frequency and handling, but scratching and gradual clouding are normal with heavy commercial use. Most operators on high-volume outdoor sites plan to rotate polycarbonate stock periodically rather than treat it as a long-term asset in the way glassware might be.
- It can be used indoors, but polycarbonate is most commonly specified where broken glass is a genuine operational or safety concern — outdoor terraces, rooftop bars, poolside areas, and events. For premium indoor dining or bar settings where guest perception of glassware quality is important, traditional glass options are usually preferable.
