Product Description
The Steelite Design+ Mixing Glass is a 591ml polycarbonate drinkware piece from the Design+ Contemporary collection, manufactured by Strahl and supplied through Steelite. Polycarbonate construction means the glass is shatterproof throughout its service life, making it a practical choice wherever standard glassware presents a safety or breakage risk.
In busy outdoor or semi-outdoor environments — rooftop bars, poolside service, festival hospitality, or stadium concessions — breakage from dropped glassware is a constant operational concern. A polycarbonate mixing glass of this type removes that risk without requiring guests to accept an obviously utilitarian vessel. The Design+ Contemporary range is specifically shaped and finished to read as conventional glassware in a guest's hand, which matters where presentation standards are part of the service offer.
Key practical advantages for operators include:
- Shatterproof construction reduces breakage losses and risk of injury
- Suitable for high-turnover outdoor service without compromising presentation
- Dishwasher compatible, supporting efficient turnaround between covers
- Supplied in a box of 12, suited to par-stock and bulk replacement needs
- Lightweight handling reduces fatigue for front-of-house staff during busy service
It is worth noting that polycarbonate drinkware can cloud or scratch over time with repeated dishwasher cycles, particularly if abrasive chemicals are used. Operators should follow the manufacturer's care guidance and plan for periodic replacement as part of normal stock management.
This glass suits venues where outdoor or poolside service is a regular part of the operation rather than an occasional arrangement. It is less relevant for indoor fine-dining environments where standard glass remains appropriate and practical.
If you are stocking a new venue or expanding an existing outdoor service offer and want guidance on quantities or matching pieces within the range, the team is happy to help you work through the requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Polycarbonate is widely accepted in licensed premises, particularly where local authority or venue licensing conditions restrict the use of glass — for example, on rooftop terraces, poolside areas, or outdoor festival sites. If your premises licence specifies glassware restrictions, it is worth checking the exact wording, but polycarbonate is the standard solution in those contexts.
- Service life depends heavily on dishwasher chemistry and cycle frequency. Polycarbonate can cloud or develop surface scratches over time with repeated commercial washing, particularly if strong alkaline detergents are used. Many operators plan for replacement on a rolling basis rather than treating polycarbonate as a permanent asset in the same way as glass.
- Polycarbonate drinkware is generally dishwasher and glasswasher compatible, but it is important to use detergents and rinse aids approved for polycarbonate — some standard glasswasher chemicals are too aggressive and will accelerate clouding. The manufacturer's care guidance should be followed to get the most from each unit.
