Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View Bistro in Padstow was struggling with their existing glassware. Constant chipping during washing and service not only looked unprofessional but was becoming a significant monthly expense. They needed a more robust but still elegant solution.
"We were fed up with seeing our profits literally go in the bin with broken glasses. The Libbey Perception glasses have been brilliant. They look fantastic on the table, and the durability is on another level. Our breakages have plummeted since we made the switch."
Liam O'Connell – General Manager
The bistro successfully cut its monthly glassware replacement costs by over 60%, improving both its bottom line and presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect every glass for any signs of damage during transit.
- Always run a full wash cycle in a commercial glasswasher before the first use to ensure they are pristine.
- Check that your glasswasher's rinse aid and detergent levels are correctly set for a sparkling, streak-free finish.
- Designate a specific storage area with non-slip shelf lining to prevent accidents.
Keeping It Going
- To prevent knocking and chipping, always use a proper glass rack for washing and transport.
- For the best presentation, polish glasses with a clean, dry microfibre or lint-free linen cloth.
- Never use the glass to scoop ice from the ice machine; this is a major cause of thermal shock and breakages.
- Avoid stacking these glasses as they are not designed for it and this can create pressure points leading to damage.

Explore more from LibbeyWhat is the 'Safedge Rim Guarantee' All About?
You'll often see 'chip-resistant' mentioned, but Libbey's Safedge Rim Guarantee is a bit more than that. It's a specific manufacturing process where the top edge of the glass—the part that takes the most knocks—is heat-treated to create a stronger, more durable beadless rim. This significantly reduces the chances of it chipping from everyday use, like clinking against other glasses or being loaded into a glass rack.
Think of it like the reinforced corners on a high-quality suitcase; it’s extra protection right where it’s needed most. Libbey is so confident in this technology that if a glass with the Safedge guarantee chips on the rim, they stand by their promise of a replacement. It’s practical, cost-saving peace of mind in every box.
