Double Walled Glass Mugs
Double-wall glasses for tea, long drinks and much more
Double-wall glasses, or thermal glasses, are designed to retain heat. Take time to enjoy a hot tea, toddy, or specialty coffee at your leisure without it cooling down too quickly. Cold drinks also stay cool longer in a double-wall glass.
What is a double-wall glass?
As the name suggests, a double-wall glass consists of two layers of glass. Between these two layers, air forms an insulating layer. The same thermal effect is also achieved, for example, in the manufacturing of windows to prevent thermal bridges. The insulating layer of air ensures hot drinks stay hot longer or that cocktails, for example, stay cold for longer. Most thermal glasses are made of borosilicate glass.
What is borosilicate glass?
This is a temperature-resistant glass that can withstand heat without shattering. Due to a very low coefficient of thermal expansion, it won't shatter if you fill it with boiling water, for example. It is tasteless, very light and therefore excellent for the production of double-wall glasses.
Which drinks are best served in double-wall glasses?
You can serve both hot drinks and cold drinks in these thermal glasses. The following drinks, among others, can be prepared in them at home:
- Tea
- Specialty coffees like latte macchiato
- Soft drinks with ice cubes
- Cocktails
- Punch
Double-wall glasses are perfect for serving desserts in. Ice cream and mousses retain their consistency for longer and can be presented in a visually appealing way. Moreover, the double wall makes it appear from the outside as if the contents are lightly floating in the glass. A fascinating eye-catcher on your dining table.
