FAQs

What makes Duralex glass stronger?

Duralex uses a specific tempering process where the glass is heated to approximately 700°C and then suddenly cooled by blasts of cold air. This creates internal stresses that make the glass significantly stronger and more resistant to thermal and mechanical shock.

Are these glasses microwave safe?

No, Duralex Picardie glasses are not recommended for microwave use.

Can I use them for hot liquids?

Yes, the tempered glass is designed to withstand thermal shock, making them suitable for hot beverages.

How should I clean them?

They are dishwasher safe. For best results and to maintain clarity, hand washing with mild soap and warm water is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is the capacity of these glasses?

Each glass has a capacity of 250ml.

Are these glasses stackable?

While they can be stacked carefully, it's advised not to stack them too tightly to prevent chipping or damaging the rims.

What is the warranty on these glasses?

Product warranty information is typically determined by the retailer. Please check with your point of purchase for specific warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Glass appears cloudy after washing

This is often due to mineral deposits from hard water. Try using a dishwasher rinse aid or a vinegar-based cleaning solution for the dishwasher.

Minor chips or scratches on rim

Inspect carefully. While tempered glass is strong, the rim can be susceptible to chipping if hit sharply. Discontinue use if chipping is significant, as it can create a safety hazard.

Glass breaks unexpectedly

While highly resistant, tempered glass can still break. Ensure the glasses are not subjected to extreme thermal shock (e.g., placing a hot glass directly on a cold surface) or direct, heavy impacts.
