The GL-64AD Professional Series glass kiln is optimized for serious glass production. The GL-64AD brick bottom holds three 20" square shelves.

The 16" depth is ideal for glass sagging. The sidewall heating elements, mounted in all four sides, offer greater control of sagging and bending. The kiln uses advanced power ratio technology, pioneered by Paragon, to balance the heat between the top and side elements. Program the digital controller to balance the heat between the top and sides in increments of 10%. (i.e., 100% top - 0% sides, 50% top - 50% sides, 80% top – 20% sides, etc.) Set the heat balance for any combination desired between the top and sides so that the total heat output equals 100%.

The GL-64AD has eight peepholes along the front.

The massive lid is easy to lift with Paragon's patented LiteLid spring counter-balance, which does away with cumbersome pulleys and cords and dramatically reduces lid weight. The LiteLid sharply reduces wear between the lid and top rim of firebrick. The truss and floating lid allow expansion of the lid. The GL-64AD comes with three LiteLid assemblies. The lid is insulated with 1" ceramic fiber and 3" ceramic fiberboard. Replaceable heating elements mount in lid fiberboard grooves. The groove eliminates element pins since the element coils are wider than the groove opening.

2 1/2" insulating firebrick lines the walls and bottom. A welded 2" tubular steel frame reinforces the kiln for long life. A double heat shield and air gap between the kiln and ventilated switch box help keep electrical components cool for long, trouble-free service. Costly heavy-gauge nickel-plated copper wiring is covered with high temperature glass-braided insulation. The thermocouple, which senses temperature inside the kiln, is protected with a high-nickel stainless steel sheath for long life. The GL-64AD has a durable high temperature, water-base finish.

The reliable touch screen controller continually monitors the firing. The sealed touch pad keeps out dust and is easy to wipe clean. The touchscreen controller will help you achieve consistent results from one firing to the next. It is user-friendly and can figure how much electricity your kiln uses. A mercury relay is standard on this kiln. The relay sends power to the elements on command from the digital controller. The life of the quiet, reliable mercury relay has been measured in millions of on/off cycles.
