Maximize Your Glass Firing Space with the Olympic Kilns GF5E Glass Firing Kiln

Achieve Flawless Results with Precision and Space in One Kiln

Step into a new era of glass artistry with the Olympic Kilns GF5E, a kiln that redefines what’s possible in glass fusing with its expansive 29″ x 29″ wide by 9″ deep firing chamber. Designed for artists who need more room to bring their intricate designs to life, the GF5E offers a substantial upgrade from traditional cylindrical kilns, providing the space you need to tackle larger projects or multiple pieces simultaneously. This kiln’s square design ensures every inch of space is utilized, making it ideal for both large-scale fusing and detailed, multi-layered creations.

Advanced Heating System for Perfectly Even Firing

The GF5E is equipped with a sophisticated dual-element heating system to ensure your glass pieces are fired evenly and consistently every time. The kiln features a radiant heat element in the lid, delivering the intense heat necessary for achieving perfect fusing temperatures. Additionally, conductive heat elements embedded in the kiln walls maintain uniform temperature distribution throughout the firing chamber, preventing cold spots and ensuring flawless results across every project. With a maximum temperature of 1700°F, this kiln is versatile enough for a wide range of glass techniques, from basic slumping to intricate fusions.

Built for Durability and Easy Operation

Constructed with a durable stainless steel jacket and supported by an 18” tall metal stand, the GF5E is designed to withstand the demands of a busy studio. The included lid lift assist feature makes it effortless to open and close the kiln, even when working on larger projects. The Bartlett 3 Key electronic controller provides intuitive control over your firing schedules, allowing you to program and adjust your ramp/hold settings with ease.

Customize Your Kiln for Enhanced Performance

For those who demand the highest level of control and flexibility, the GF5E offers a variety of optional upgrades. Choose the KilnStar digital controller or the Genesis controller with touchscreen technology to access advanced programming features like delay start, preheat, and skip step. Other enhancements include a flash arm for quick venting, an automatic lid shutoff to instantly power down, and quartz glass viewing windows for real-time observation of your firing progress.

Optimize Your Studio Setup with the Right Furniture Kit

Maximize the efficiency and organization of your GF5E kiln with a custom furniture kit. The standard kit includes two layers of shelving for efficient stacking, along with square posts, ceramic paper, and a one-pound bag of kiln wash to ensure your glass pieces are evenly supported and heated. Whether you choose the standard kit or customize your own, these accessories help maintain a well-organized and productive studio environment.

The Olympic Kilns GF5E is an essential tool that expands the boundaries of your glass artistry. With its spacious design, precise heating system, and customizable options, this kiln empowers you to achieve more with every firing. Whether you're working on large-scale projects or intricate designs, the GF5E provides the space, control, and reliability you need to create stunning, flawless glass pieces every time.
