Common Questions About Spiegelau
What makes Spiegelau glasses different?
Spiegelau glasses are made for commercial use, meaning they're designed to withstand high-volume traffic that accompanies busy foodservice establishments. The glassware is made with the special Platinum Glass process, in which liquid glass passes through platinum-lined tubes to eliminate impurities – an extra expense that Spiegelau goes through to ensure the best possible product. Glassware treated in this manner is exceptionally durable and extremely dishwasher safe; however, this doesn't make them invincible. Over the course of use, Spiegelau products break less frequently than cheaper glassware, but careless handling will break them both. Glass made with the Platinum Glass process has been tested in independent labs, undergoing 1,500 dishwashing cycles and presenting no evidence of scratches, marks, fogged glass, nor any degradation of color or brilliance of the glass.
All these factors contribute to a final product that's remarkably clear, durable, and brilliant. Spiegelau glass stands out on your table and demonstrates the type of experience your customers can expect at your establishment. Considering the total cost of ownership, durable Spiegelau pieces may not run you as much as you expect over the course of your business.
How should I care for my Spiegelau glassware?
The Platinum Process creates glassware that's especially dishwasher safe, but that only applies if you use proper warewashing procedures. Any time you put glass in a dishwasher, you must ensure the glass doesn't clank against other pieces – that means a properly loaded dishrack with secured glasses. If you clean a large, awkward piece such as a decanter, you may want to wash it by hand to ensure it doesn't sustain damage.
With proper care, your new glassware can be washed over a thousand times without losing the glass's clarity and quality. This means you won't have to replace your Spiegelau pieces as often as you might with other brands.
