Effortless Loading, Dependable Precision
The Paragon Pearl 18 Glass Fusing Kiln is built for glass artists, educators, and studios that value easy chamber access and dependable firing precision. With an 18" x 18" x 9" firing chamber and a built-in stand, the Pearl 18 delivers advanced digital control for fused glass, slumping, casting, bowls, jewelry, and decorative panels.
The vertical lift-top design raises the lid with smooth air-piston assistance, giving you open access from three sides. Instead of carrying loaded kiln shelves between worktables and the kiln, you can arrange projects directly inside the open chamber — reducing the chance of disturbing delicate glass layouts.
Included with every order
SENTINEL Touch Xpress digital controller, instruction manual, and 2-year limited warranty. Optional Muffle Top, solid-state, and mercury displacement relay configurations available.
