Dual-Loading Flexibility with Adjustable Heat
The Paragon TLC16 Glass Fusing Kiln is built for glass artists, educators, and production studios who want maximum flexibility and advanced firing control. With a 16" x 16" x 6" firing chamber and a unique dual-loading design, the TLC16 lets you load through the hinged top lid or use a full clamshell opening for unrestricted chamber access.
At the heart of the TLC16 is Paragon's Vari-Fire heating system — an adjustable slider on the controller lets you fine-tune the balance between top and side heating elements to match specific firing techniques. Operating on standard 120V household power, it's accessible for home studios and classrooms while still delivering professional-level firing consistency.
Included with every order
SENTINEL Touch Xpress digital controller, instruction manual, and 2-year limited warranty. Multiple color options available.
