The plate is one of the central elements of your dishes when you set the table. It is therefore essential to choose them carefully and always according to your needs. Duralex® glass plate sets will accompany you both in your daily life and for special occasions.
What are the advantages of glass plates?
Made of tempered glass, the Duralex® provide both a soft touch and an unprecedented shine to your tableware. Their very rapid cooling technique also allows excellent resistance in the event of impact, approximately 6 times more than for a non-tempered glass part.
Another undeniable advantage, a very light weight: you can very easily handle a stack of dinner plates, deep plates or dessert plates, ideal for setting or serving a table quickly, even for a large number of guests. All nestable, they are also easy to store on your shelves and in your cupboards.
Finally, tempered glass is a non-porous material which prevents dirt from becoming embedded and is easily cleaned with a sponge or in the dishwasher. Consequently, transparent or colored glass plates also retain the development of bacteria on their surface, an undeniable hygienic advantage compared to stoneware or ceramic.
