About

Duralex: The Original French Tempered Glass For decades, Duralex has been the go-to glassware for cafes, bistros, and restaurants around the world. Made in France since 1945, their iconic Picardie tumblers are a symbol of timeless design and legendary durability. This is glassware designed to withstand the toughest commercial environments, making it the smart investment for any hospitality business. Why Duralex is the Professional's Choice This is more than just glass; it's a long-term business solution. 1. The Power of Tempered Glass: The secret to Duralex's strength is the tempering process. The glass is heated to extreme temperatures and then rapidly cooled. This creates a powerful compressive stress on the surface, making it 2.5 times stronger than standard glass. It can withstand thermal shock (from hot to cold) and significant physical impact. 2. Safety First: In the unlikely event that a Duralex glass does break, it shatters into small, blunt-edged pieces rather than dangerous shards. This is a critical safety feature in any busy commercial environment. 3. The Iconic Picardie Design: The Picardie tumbler is a design classic. Its faceted sides are not just for style; they provide a comfortable and secure grip. It is the perfect, versatile vessel for everything from a cortado to water or juice. 4. A Complete, Stackable System: We offer the Picardie in a full range of standard cafe sizes, from the 90ml espresso/macchiato size to the 250ml for lattes and water. They are designed to be stackable, saving precious shelf space.
