The Olympic Kilns GF5ETLC: Dual-Loading for Superior Results

Double the Flexibility, Double the Creativity: Top and Clamshell Loading for Unmatched Versatility

The Olympic Kilns GF5ETLC is a true innovation in glass firing, offering the versatility of two kilns in one. With its expansive 29″ x 29″ wide by 9″ deep firing chamber, this kiln gives you the space to explore large-scale projects or intricate, multi-layered designs with ease. The GF5ETLC stands out from traditional kilns with its unique top and clamshell loading feature, allowing you to quickly access your work for flash venting, precise glass raking, or easy loading of shelves. Whether you’re creating complex fused glass pieces or experimenting with new techniques, this kiln is engineered to meet your most demanding artistic needs.

Precision Heating for Consistently Superior Results

At the heart of the GF5ETLC is a sophisticated dual-element heating system designed to deliver flawless, consistent results. The kiln’s lid houses an element that provides the radiant heat necessary to reach the perfect fusing temperature, while the wall elements ensure that conductive heat is evenly distributed throughout the firing chamber. This balanced heating approach eliminates cold spots and guarantees that every piece is uniformly fused. With a maximum firing temperature of 1700°F, the GF5ETLC is ideal for a wide range of glass art techniques, offering the flexibility you need to push the boundaries of your creativity.

Built to Last, Designed for Convenience

The GF5ETLC is more than just a kiln—it’s a powerhouse built to endure the rigors of a busy studio. Its sturdy stainless steel jacket and 18” tall metal stand provide robust support and stability, while the lid lift assist feature makes accessing your kiln a breeze, even with heavier projects. The Bartlett 3 Key electronic controller offers easy and precise control over your firing schedules, allowing you to fine-tune your processes for consistent, high-quality results every time.

Customization Options for Maximum Control

For artists who demand more, the GF5ETLC offers a suite of customizable options. Upgrade to the Genesis touchscreen controller or the 12-key digital KilnStar controller to unlock advanced ramp-hold programming features such as delay start, preheat, and skip-step. Additional enhancements include a flash arm for quick venting and quartz glass viewing windows for real-time observation of your work.

Optimize Your Workflow with a Tailored Furniture Kit

Maximize the efficiency of your GF5ETLC with a custom furniture kit designed to support your unique artistic process. The kit includes two layers of shelving for efficient stacking, as well as square posts, ceramic paper, and a one-pound bag of kiln wash to ensure even support and heating during firings. Whether you choose the standard kit or customize your own, these accessories will help you maintain a well-organized, productive studio environment.

The Olympic Kilns GF5ETLC is a comprehensive solution designed to elevate your glass artistry to new heights. With its dual-loading capability, advanced heating technology, and customizable features, this kiln empowers you to achieve consistently stunning results while expanding the possibilities of your creative endeavors. Make the GF5ETLC the centerpiece of your studio and experience the difference that precision and flexibility can make in your work.
