The Olympic Kilns 189 Slider: Perfecting Glass Firing with Every Slide

Achieve Flawless Glass Artistry with Innovative Sliding Floor Design

Step into a new era of glass firing with the Olympic Kilns 189 Slider, a kiln that combines precision, convenience, and cutting-edge design to enhance your creative process. The unique clamshell design, paired with a sliding floor that extends 44″ front-to-back, gives you unparalleled control over your work, making loading and glass manipulation easier than ever. With a spacious 18″ x 18″ wide by 9″ deep interior, this kiln is perfectly suited for glass fusing, forming, and heat-treating, offering consistent, high-quality results every time.

Effortless Loading and Unloading for Maximum Efficiency

The standout feature of the 189 Slider is its innovative sliding floor, designed to make your glass projects smoother and more efficient. The kiln’s sleek wooden handle stays cool to the touch, allowing you to effortlessly slide the floor in and out, ensuring precise placement and adjustment of your glass pieces. Whether you’re working on intricate designs or larger projects, the 189 Slider’s sliding floor offers the convenience and control you need to achieve perfection.

Advanced Heating Elements for Superior Glasswork

Engineered for optimal heat distribution, the 189 Slider is equipped with both lid and wall elements, providing both radiant and conductive heat. The lid element ensures that the intense heat required for fusing is evenly applied, while the wall elements maintain a consistent temperature throughout the firing chamber. With a maximum firing temperature of 1700°F, this kiln is ideal for a variety of glass techniques, and it can be reprogrammed to accommodate higher temperatures as needed.

Built to Last with Quality Construction

The 189 Slider is not just about innovation; it’s built for durability and long-term performance. The kiln comes bolted to an 18″ heavy-angle iron stand, providing stability and support for even the most demanding projects. The stainless steel jacket adds a layer of protection, ensuring that your kiln can withstand the rigors of frequent use. Additionally, the lid brace arm locks securely in place when the firing chamber is opened, offering safety and convenience.

Customization and Upgrades for Enhanced Performance

Make the 189 Slider truly your own with a variety of customizable options. The 189 Slider comes standard with the Bartlett Digital KilnStar controller, but you can consider an upgrade to the Genesis Touchscreen controller for even more advanced features enabling greater precision control over your firing schedules - and convenience. Other options include a lid lift assist for easy operation, a quartz glass viewing window for real-time monitoring, and an automatic lid shutoff to ensure that power to the heating elements is immediately turned off when the kiln door is opened.

Optimize Your Kiln with a Tailored Furniture Kit

To maximize your kiln’s potential, consider adding a furniture kit specifically designed for the 189 Slider. The kit includes two layers of shelving, assorted square posts, ceramic paper, and a one-pound bag of kiln wash, ensuring that your pieces are evenly supported and heated during firing. Whether you choose the standard kit or customize your own, these accessories help you maintain an organized and efficient workspace.

The Olympic Kilns 189 Slider is designed for glass artists who value precision, ease, and innovation. With its sliding floor, advanced heating elements, and durable construction, this kiln empowers you to take your glass artistry to new heights. Explore the possibilities and elevate your creative process with the 189 Slider.
