"Arcoroc glassware is a brilliant choice if you want that perfect mix of durability and elegance—ideal for busy restaurants and bars that still want to impress. Trust me, investing in toughened glass that still looks the part means fewer breakages and more style on the table!"

How Arcoroc Glassware Works

What makes Arcoroc commercial glassware special? It's all in the manufacturing process. These professional glasses undergo a unique tempering treatment where the glass is heated to extremely high temperatures before being rapidly cooled. This creates surface compression and edge tension that dramatically increases strength—making them up to five times stronger than standard glassware. The treatment also ensures that if breakage does occur (which is rare), the glass shatters into small, rounded pieces rather than dangerous shards—crucial for busy hospitality environments where safety is paramount. This clever engineering creates glassware that stands up to constant washing, stacking, and the occasional knock!

Safety Guidelines

  • Regular Inspection Check for chips and cracks before service—prevents injuries.
  • Proper Handling Carry glasses separately, never in stacks—reduces breakage risk.
  • Broken Glass Protocol Use dedicated brush and pan—keeps food areas safe.
  • Avoid Thermal Shock Don't place hot glasses in freezers—causes stress fractures.
  • Correct Storage Use divided racks—prevents contact damage.
  • Proper Washing Use commercial glass detergent—maintains clarity and finish.

Top Tips for Using Arcoroc Glassware

For maximum longevity, avoid extreme temperature shifts like placing hot glasses directly into cold water. Use glass racks during washing to prevent contact damage, and consider investing in glass washers with soft-start functions. When storing, don't stack too high—four is the magic number for most tumbler styles. Polish with microfibre cloths rather than linen for streak-free results, and rotate your stock to ensure even wear across your collection. Remember, even tempered glass deserves proper care!
