Product Information

Full details

The Duralex 250ml Picardie Amber Water Glasses are designed for those seeking durable, practical, and stylish glassware for daily use. Their key benefit lies in their exceptional strength and resistance to thermal and mechanical shocks due to their tempered glass construction. A potential caveat is that while strong, they can still break under extreme force, so careful handling is advised.

FAQs

Are these glasses microwave safe?

No, the Duralex Picardie glasses are not recommended for use in microwaves.

Can I use these glasses for hot beverages like tea or coffee?

Yes, the tempered glass construction makes them safe for hot beverages. However, avoid extreme temperature changes, such as placing a hot glass on a cold surface.

How should I clean my Duralex glasses?

They are dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning. For extended longevity and to maintain optimal clarity, hand washing with mild soap and a soft cloth is also effective.

What does 'tempered glass' mean for durability?

Tempered glass is heat-treated to be significantly stronger and more resistant to thermal and mechanical shock than regular glass, making it over twice as durable.

What is the capacity of these glasses?

These are 250ml water glasses.

Are the amber glasses stackable?

Yes, the design of the Picardie glasses allows for stacking, though care should be taken to avoid damaging the rims or causing instability.

What is the warranty on these glasses?

Warranty information would typically be provided by the retailer. Duralex products are known for their quality and durability.

Troubleshooting

Glass appears cloudy after washing.

This may be due to mineral deposits from hard water. Try using a dishwasher cleaner or a vinegar solution to remove buildup. Ensure your dishwasher's rinse aid dispenser is full.

A glass has a small chip or crack.

While tempered glass is strong, it can still chip or crack under significant impact. Inspect the glass carefully. If the damage is minor and does not affect structural integrity, it might still be usable, but caution is advised. For safety, it's best to discard glasses with significant chips or cracks.

Glass breaks unexpectedly.

Though rare, tempered glass can sometimes break due to unseen internal stresses or significant impacts. Ensure glasses are not stacked too tightly or subjected to extreme thermal changes (e.g., placing a very hot glass directly into cold water).
