The Olympic Kilns GF314E: Superior Space and Precision for Glass Firing
Unlock New Possibilities in Glass Art with Spacious Design and Advanced Heating Control
Step up your glass art with the Olympic Kilns GF314E, a kiln designed to give you the freedom and space you need to realize your most ambitious projects. The GF314E’s square design offers a generous 25″ x 25″ wide by 13.5″ deep firing chamber, providing significantly more room than traditional cylindrical kilns. Whether you're working on large-scale fusions or intricate layered pieces, this kiln ensures your creations have the space they need to come to life.
Precision Heating for Flawless Results
The GF314E features a dual-element system that combines radiant and conductive heat for even temperature distribution across your glass pieces. The lid element delivers focused heat precisely when it’s needed most—during the fusing stage—while the wall elements maintain consistent temperatures throughout the firing process. This setup ensures that every part of your project receives uniform heat, minimizing the risk of uneven fusing or cold spots. With a maximum temperature of 1700°F, this kiln is perfect for a wide range of glass techniques, from slumping to full fusing.
Built for Durability and Ease of Use
Constructed with a robust stainless steel jacket and supported by a sturdy 18” tall metal stand, the GF314E is built to withstand the demands of a busy studio. The kiln is equipped with a lid lift assist, making it easy to open and close, even with large or heavy projects. The Bartlett 3 Key electronic controller provides a user-friendly interface for setting and adjusting firing schedules, ensuring precision and repeatability with every use.
Customization Options for Advanced Control
For artists who want more control over their firing process, the GF314E offers a range of optional upgrades. Enhance your kiln’s functionality with the Genesis touchscreen controller or the 12-key digital KilnStar controller, both of which provide advanced ramp-hold programming features like delay start, preheat, and skip step. Other available options include an automatic lid shutoff that kills power to the heating elements when the kiln door is open, flash arms for quick venting, and quartz glass viewing windows for real-time monitoring.
