Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
'The Copper Pot', a popular bistro in the heart of York, was struggling with high glassware turnover due to constant chipping and breakages from their previous supplier. They needed a durable yet stylish solution that could keep up with their busy lunch and dinner services.
"We were tired of our glasses looking worn and mismatched. The Steelite Kalix tumblers have been brilliant. They look fantastic, feel solid, and the difference in durability is night and day. Our replacement costs have plummeted, and the bar just looks smarter."
Samuel Jones – Owner
The bistro reported a 40% reduction in glassware breakage and replacement costs within the first quarter of use.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before the first use, always run the glasses through a complete wash cycle to remove any dust or residue.
- Upon delivery, inspect each glass for any transit damage to ensure a flawless set from the start.
- Ensure glasses are fully dry before stacking on shelves to prevent watermarks and sticking.
Keeping It Going
- Use a dedicated glass rack in your commercial dishwasher to minimise movement and prevent chipping.
- To avoid thermal shock, allow glasses to cool to room temperature after washing before filling with ice.
- Polish with a clean, dry microfibre cloth for a sparkling, professional finish that impresses customers.
- Regularly check the rims for tiny chips and remove any damaged glasses from service immediately for safety.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these glasses suitable for commercial dishwashers?
A: Absolutely. They are specifically designed to withstand the high temperatures and rigorous cycles of commercial dishwashing.
Q: What does DOF mean?
A: DOF stands for 'Double Old Fashioned'. It's a classic, wide-bodied tumbler that's a staple for serving spirits on the rocks or short cocktails.
Q: What is the capacity in fluid ounces?
A: The 380ml capacity is equivalent to approximately 13.4 Imperial fluid ounces.
Q: Can these be used for hot drinks like coffee or tea?
A: We don't recommend it. These glasses are designed and treated for serving cold beverages and may be damaged by extreme heat.
Q: Is the Steelite New Kalix VV3501 glass heavy?
A: It has a satisfying, reassuring weight and a solid base that signals quality, but it's not uncomfortably heavy for customers or staff.
Q: Is the glass rim beaded or straight?
A: The Kalix range features a clean, straight-cut rim for a modern and refined drinking experience.
Q: Are these glasses stackable?
A: Due to their shape, they are not designed to be stacked high. They can be nested in small numbers, but it's not recommended for safe storage.

This level of reliability protects your bottom line and, just as importantly, your reputation. A high-quality, unblemished glass subtly communicates that you care about the details, enhancing the customer experience and reinforcing the quality of the drink you're serving.
Explore more from SteeliteMore Than Just Glass: The Commercial-Grade Durability Difference
Ever wondered what makes a 'commercial' glass different from the one in your cupboard at home? It's all about surviving in a tough environment. Features like thermal and mechanical shock resistance are crucial. Think of it like this: your home glasses rarely go from a piping hot dishwasher straight into a chest freezer for chilling. Commercial glasses do. They also get clinked together, stacked, and handled hundreds of times a day. Steelite engineers their glassware for this demanding life. It’s specially treated to handle rapid temperature changes (thermal shock) and the inevitable bumps and knocks (mechanical shock), which means fewer cracks, chips, and replacements for you.
Who Should Buy This?
- Bustling Cocktail Bars: Perfect for serving classic shorts, spirits, and mixers in a sturdy, modern glass that can handle a fast pace.
- Hotels & Guesthouses: An ideal and elegant choice for table water, soft drinks in the restaurant, or for in-room beverage service.
- Modern Gastropubs: A versatile and robust tumbler for serving everything from craft lagers to fresh juice, withstanding a busy service.
- Event & Catering Firms: A reliable, easily sourced, and durable option for large functions where consistency and quality are paramount.
