Glassware

IMPACT AND CHIP RESISTANT, EXTREMELY DURABLE

Duralex tempered glass is 2.5 times stronger than ordinary glass.

Duralex®

Founded in 1945, Duralex® has been manufacturing tempered glassware and tabletop products for over 70 years in La Chapelle-Saint-Mesmin in the very heart of France. Since 1945, when Duralex® invented the glass tempering process, the name Duralex has been associated with toughened glassware, utilizing their proprietary process.

Duralex glass products are tempered. The mechanical and thermal resisting properties are considerably increased compared to other ordinary glassware products. Duralex Products are 100% recyclable, glass is made to be remade. Glass is one of the most recyclable materials on the planet. Our products are made of soda-lime glass created from sand, soda ash and limestone. Completely lead and cadmium free. Our glass, unlike boron-based cooking or pharmaceutical glass, is fully recyclable. All of our components are purchased close to our factory to reduce our carbon footprint in terms of transportation. We have also made a strong commitment to reduce the impact of our manufacturing processes by installing a state-of-the-art melting furnace to reduce energy consumption. We recycle our own glass and integrate it into our "house composition". This allows us to reduce our melting temperature and thus our energy consumption. We have installed a particle filter designed to treat fumes coming out of the furnace and to recover certain raw materials and reinject them back into the oven.
