The Square 1814GFE is a top-loading glass firing kiln used for fusing and forming glass shapes and heat-treating. 240/208-volt glass fusing models are equipped with a lid element for the fusing segment of the glass firing and body elements for ramping, cooling, and annealing. An infinite switch controls the intensity of the lid element independently from the body elements.
Models come equipped with a pilot light, an 18″ tall metal stand, a stainless-steel jacket, and a Bartlett KilnStar digital controller. Two-year Limited Kiln Warranty.
Upgrade to the Genesis touchscreen controller for more ramp-hold user programs. Other options include lid lift assist, bead door, quartz glass viewing window, Type S thermocouple, vent, and much more!
Furniture Kits for 240/208-volt glass fusing kilns include 2 layers of shelving, assorted square posts, and ceramic paper.
Key Features
