The Assam double wall glasses can be use the whole year round. You can
use them for your cold drinks in summer and hot drinks in winter. They
are made of a very strong but yet light weight glass (borosilicate
glass). They can safely go in the dishwasher and microwave. No coaster
needed.
Bodum's insulated glassware is made from durable Borosilicate glass.
Borosilicate glass is a strong heat-resistant glass that weighs less
than traditional glassware. Used to make scientific lab glass,
borosilicate glass (medical grade glass) is stronger than traditional
"soda-lime" glass and can be used for everything from drinkware to
cookware. Borosilicate glass substitutes boron oxide in place of the
soda and lime used in traditional glassware. The boron oxide acts as a
glue holding the silicate together and due to the small size of boron
particles, the glass is held together tighter, resulting in a stronger
glass. Some customers may perceive the glass to be "thin" as they hold
it. It is important to explain the difference between borosilicate and
soda lime glass. Borosilicate glass doesn't need to be as thick as
traditional glass to be just as strong. Borosilicate is simply a
different type of glass that is resistant to temperature swings and
scratching. Because the particles are held together so tightly,
borosilicate glass is dishwasher safe and will not become cloudy over
time; you can rest assured that after 100 cycles, the glass will be as
clear as the day you bought it. Simply treat it as you would any glass
product and it will stand up to every day use. Dishwasher &
microwave safe.
