Glassware Comparison

The thermal tempering process makes Duralex glassware up to 2.5 times stronger than ordinary glass. This significantly reduces the replacement rate by protecting against chips and cracks during daily handling.

Ordinary glass can easily shatter when transitioning rapidly between hot and cold temperatures. Duralex tempered glass is engineered to handle temperature swings from -4°F to 266°F. It is entirely safe for the freezer, microwave, and dishwasher.

Duralex glass is completely nonporous (meaning it does not absorb liquids, stains, or odors) and is manufactured completely free from lead and cadmium.

Unlike standard delicate glassware, collections like the Picardie are specifically designed to stack efficiently and safely without wedging or breaking, which is vital for high-volume use.
