Product Description
The Steelite Design+ Grande is a 414ml polycarbonate wine glass designed for commercial beverage service in environments where glassware breakage is a genuine operational concern. Made from polycarbonate, the glass is shatterproof, making it a practical choice for outdoor terraces, rooftop bars, poolside service, and any venue where the combination of hard surfaces, high footfall, and moving staff creates a real breakage risk.
In service, polycarbonate drinkware of this type is routinely used where licensing conditions, insurance requirements, or venue management policies restrict the use of conventional glass. The Design+ Grande is shaped to present well — it reads as a wine glass rather than a compromise — which matters in settings where guest experience and presentation standards are still expected to be high despite the practical constraints of the environment.
From an operational standpoint, the key advantages include:
- Shatterproof construction reduces breakage losses and associated replacement costs
- Suitable for poolside, rooftop, and outdoor terrace service where glass may be restricted
- 414ml capacity works comfortably for standard wine pours by the glass
- Polycarbonate material is robust under repeated handling and stack storage
- Supplied in a box of 12, giving a practical unit for stock management
It is worth noting that polycarbonate drinkware requires careful cleaning — high-temperature commercial dishwashers and harsh chemical detergents can cloud or damage the material over time. Checking compatibility with your wash programme before committing to large volumes is advisable.
These glasses are best suited to bars, hotels, event caterers, and leisure venues where outdoor or restricted-glass service is a regular part of the operation. For venues with very high throughput or where glasses are rarely returned intact, it may be worth discussing volume requirements and stock rotation with us before ordering.
If you are unsure whether this style fits your service format or you would like to talk through quantities, we are happy to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Polycarbonate drinkware is generally dishwasher compatible, but prolonged exposure to very high wash temperatures or strong alkaline detergents can cause clouding or surface degradation over time. We would recommend checking your machine's temperature settings and using a detergent specified as safe for polycarbonate before putting large volumes through a commercial wash programme.
- Yes — the shatterproof polycarbonate construction makes the Design+ Grande a commonly used choice in venues where glass is restricted by licensing, insurance, or site policy. They are regularly used on rooftop bars, terraces, and poolside service areas for exactly this reason.
- That depends on your cover count, average dwell time, and how quickly glasses cycle back through service. A general starting point is to hold enough stock to cover at least one full turn of your outdoor capacity, plus a buffer for breakage and glasses in the wash cycle. If you would like to talk through the right quantity for your operation, our team can help you work it out.
