Insulated Tumbler Glasses

Every time you have a party at home, be it large or small you have to spend most of your time coming and going to the kitchen for ice. This happens especially in hot summer night when the ice melts at amazing speeds, not only in the drinks but in the ice bucket too. Insulated tumbler glasses are the solution to your problem, and they are a permanent solution.

They are made of several types of materials but for party purposes we must consider only two of these materials. Again we must look at them when it is time for the party because one of them is adequate for any occasion but the other isn’t, the second type is okay for family gatherings and very close friends.

The first material used is stainless steel; these glasses will not look good in any party anywhere so we will leave them out. Another material used is polycarbonate plastic, it is a transparent and extremely resistant polymer which has the appearance of glass until you touch it and know it is plastic. These would be okay for family gatherings and really close friends or home use. The third and last material used is borosilicate glass, this is real glass and these tumblers will be useful in any occasion.

The basic difference between them is the material they are made of but both of them have two layers of glass with air in between them. This layer of sealed air is what keeps the temperature stable for a long time. The plastic glasses are not good for hot liquids but the glass ones will handle either hot or cold liquids. They come in many different colors and sizes and the plastic ones can be decorated further with pictures or messages for the user to see and read.

Going back to our party the best option in either case are the insulated glass tumblers and you can even buy a set that comes with the ice bucket. These glasses keep drinks cold for a long time which will allow you to enjoy your party more instead of paying attention to the ice bucket all night to be sure there is ice in it for your guests and not only water.

These glasses are made of glass so they will break, plastic ones are almost indestructible. Both kinds are dishwasher safe and the ones made of glass are also microwave safe. Tumblers come in many different designs and sizes and they all have regular drink sizes available. As an extra we can tell you that beer mugs are also available with the tumblers so you can watch the ball game and keep your beer nice and cold longer.

If it is your intent to buy insulated tumblers and glasses for your home we would recommend you buy the borosilicate glasses because these can be used in any occasion whether with the family or with friends in a party. They are also good for hot and cold drinks which sets them one step ahead of the plastic glasses.
