Olympic Kilns Square 1414GFE: A Powerhouse for Glass Artists

Master Your Craft with Precision and Versatility

The Olympic Kilns Square 1414GFE is designed for glass artists who demand precision, versatility, and ease in their work. With its spacious 14.5" W x 14.5" D x 13.5" H firing chamber and advanced heating controls, this kiln is built to handle an array of glass techniques, from intricate fusing to complex heat-treating projects. Whether you're working on delicate details or larger pieces, the Square 1414GFE provides the control and space you need to achieve stunning, professional results.

Two Loading Style Configurations for Your Convenience

The Square 1414GFE offers two loading configurations to suit the way you work:

  • Top-Loading Configuration: Traditional and easy to use, ideal for quickly loading and unloading your glass projects from above.
  • Combination Top-Load and Clamshell Configuration: This versatile option allows for both top-loading and clamshell-style access, offering flexibility for different project types. The clamshell mode provides enhanced access, ideal for precise glass manipulation, raking, and flash venting, giving you full control over your project during the firing process.

Precision Heating for Consistent, High-Quality Results

The Square 1414GFE is equipped with a dual-element heating system to ensure uniform heat distribution throughout the firing process. The lid houses radiant heat elements for focused heating during the critical fusing stage, while the body elements manage the controlled ramping and annealing processes. This design minimizes the risk of cold spots, ensuring that your glass is heated evenly from top to bottom for perfect results every time. With a maximum temperature of 1700°F, the kiln is versatile enough for a wide range of glass techniques, from slumping to complex multi-layer fusions.

Built for Durability and Ease of Use

The Square 1414GFE is constructed with a stainless steel jacket for long-lasting durability, making it an ideal choice for both professional studios and hobbyists. The kiln comes with an 18" metal stand for stability and ease of operation. It also features a power interrupt switch, which automatically cuts off power to the elements when the lid is opened for added safety.

The kiln comes standard with the Digital KilnStar controller, providing reliable control over firing schedules with easy programming for precise results. This controller ensures you can set and adjust ramp/hold settings effortlessly, giving you complete control over your firing process. If you're looking for even more advanced control features, the Genesis touchscreen controller is available as an upgrade, offering a modern interface with advanced programming options like delay start, preheat, and skip step for even greater firing flexibility.

Customizable Options to Fit Your Studio's Needs

For those who want to tailor their kiln for specific applications, the Square 1414GFE offers a range of customizable upgrades. Choose a lid lift assist for effortless operation, add quartz glass viewing windows to monitor your projects in real-time, or include a flash arm for rapid venting. These options allow you to configure the kiln to match your studio's workflow and your personal artistic needs.

Maximize Your Workspace with a Custom Furniture Kit

To optimize the use of your kiln, consider adding a dedicated furniture kit designed specifically for the Square 1414GFE. The kit includes two layers of shelving and assorted square posts to ensure that your glass pieces are evenly supported and heated during the firing process. This helps maintain an organized and productive studio environment while ensuring flawless results.

The Olympic Kilns Square 1414GFE is more than just a tool—it's a critical asset in your creative journey. With its spacious design, advanced heating controls, and customizable features, this kiln empowers you to expand your artistic horizons.

FAQs - Configuring Your Kiln

There are certain selections you must choose. And then there are options you can click on or ignore. The answers below should help you make the best choices for you.

 Which Kiln Voltage Should I Select?

Higher voltage means lower amperage draw and greater efficiency, which can save money long term. 240V and 208V cost the same—most home studios use 240V, while 208V is common in schools or large facilities. Amperage refers to the amount of electrical current a kiln draws—higher amps require heavier wiring and breakers.

What's The Difference Between Single-Phase and Three-Phase?

Single-phase is what almost all homes have. If your facility has three-phase, you can choose either—but three-phase is typically the better long-term option due to smoother power and improved efficiency.

Which Relay Option Do I Need?

Mechanical relays are standard and reliable. Solid-state relays (SSR) offer silent operation, faster cycling, greater precision, and longer lifespan—ideal for frequent or high-accuracy firings.

What Are The Differences Between Kiln Controllers?

The following controllers are used across kilns sold by Pottery Pulse. Not all models offer every option—available controllers are listed on each product page. Some kilns include only the standard controller, while most allow upgrades for added precision and convenience.

Olympic Kilns

  • Infinite Switch – Manual dial control for simple heat adjustments.
  • KilnStar – Digital controller with preset and user-defined programs.
  • Genesis – Advanced touchscreen interface with Wi-Fi and data logging.

Evenheat Kilns

  • Icon – Digital 3-button controller for straightforward firing.
  • RampMaster II – Manual digital controller for ceramic kilns; flexible ramp/hold programming.
  • RampMaster 3 – Updated version for glass kilns with refined interface.
  • Icon+ – Enhanced digital control with expanded profiles and precision.
  • TAP II – Smart touchscreen controller with Wi-Fi, data tracking, and remote access.

Hot Shot Kilns

  • Novus – “Set & Go” controller: set a target temperature and it does the rest (no segments).
  • Spark – Entry-level touchscreen controller with intuitive operation and limited program control.
  • TAP II – Smart touchscreen controller with Wi-Fi and real-time monitoring.

Jen-Ken Kilns

  • Orton AF3P 3-Button – Reliable and straightforward for basic firing.
  • Orton AutoFire 4000 12-Key – Expanded program capacity and fine control.
  • Orton AutoFire Slide Touchscreen – Modern, responsive touchscreen interface.
  • TAP II Touchscreen Smart Controller – Wi-Fi connectivity and real-time data tracking.

What Are Collars For?

Not all kilns can use a collar, but Olympic’s Hot Box kilns can be ordered with a collar to expand versatility. A blank collar simply adds height to the firing chamber, while a bead collar adds the same height and includes a built-in bead or annealing door for quick-access lampwork projects.

What Does The Power Interrupt Switch Do?

This safety feature automatically cuts power to the heating elements whenever the kiln lid or door is opened. It prevents accidental burns, protects elements, and resumes power only when safely closed. (Also called an automatic lid shutoff on Olympic kilns.)
