Greater Workspace, Dual-Opening Flexibility
The Paragon CS16D Dual Clamshell Glass Fusing Kiln is built for glass artists, jewelry makers, educators, and production studios who want more workspace and unmatched loading flexibility. Combining a spacious 16" x 16" x 6.7" firing chamber with Paragon's dual-opening design, the CS16D lets you choose between full clamshell access or independent lid operation.
Full clamshell access lifts the chamber walls and lid together for unobstructed loading of layered glass designs, molds, and frit. The independent lid option provides convenient top-loading for slumping molds, shelf loading, and project adjustments — letting you adapt the kiln to different workflows without sacrificing accessibility.
Included with every order
SENTINEL Touch Xpress touchscreen controller with Ramp-Hold programming, instruction manual, and 2-year limited warranty.
