A Spacious Kiln Designed for Larger Ceramic and Glass Projects

The Olympic Kilns TopHat 2814E Electric Kiln offers the perfect balance of size and precision, making it ideal for artists who work on larger pieces or require versatility in their studio. Featuring a 28 ¼″ wide by 13½″ deep firing chamber, this kiln provides ample space while maintaining the high-quality, consistent results you expect. Whether you're experimenting with new materials or perfecting your technique, the TopHat 2814E supports your creative journey with advanced technology and reliable performance.

Exceptional Construction for Long-Lasting Performance

The TopHat 2814E is engineered for durability, featuring 3" brick construction that offers excellent insulation and heat retention. This sturdy kiln is designed to withstand the demands of regular use in busy studios. The robust welded frame and stainless steel jacket ensure longevity, while the specialized lid element guarantees even, consistent heating—making it ideal for glass fusing as well as ceramic work. From beginning to end, this kiln delivers a reliable and seamless firing experience.

Precision Firing with the Digital KilnStar Controller

The TopHat 2814E comes standard with the Digital KilnStar controller, an intuitive tool for managing your firings with ease and precision. The KilnStar controller allows you to set and monitor firing schedules, ensuring each project is completed with perfect results. With programmable segments and features like delay start, preheat, and hold time adjustments, the KilnStar provides the flexibility needed by both beginners and seasoned artists. This controller empowers you to create custom firing profiles that fit your specific needs.

For those seeking even more advanced control, an upgrade to the Genesis Touchscreen controller is available. The Genesis controller enhances your firing experience with a full-color touchscreen interface, real-time temperature tracking, and expanded program storage. The user-friendly graphical display makes it easier than ever to manage complex firing sequences, giving you greater control and peace of mind during your creative process.

Advanced Technology for Enhanced Performance

The TopHat 2814E offers the option for Solid State Relays, a cutting-edge technology that ensures precise temperature control and quick response times. These relays provide even heat distribution throughout the kiln, extending the life of your kiln’s elements and reducing the need for frequent maintenance. This feature enhances efficiency and reliability, ensuring consistent, high-quality results with every firing.

Safety and Convenience in One Design

Safety is a priority with the TopHat 2814E. The kiln offers an optional Automatic Lid Shutoff feature, which instantly cuts power to the heating elements when the lid is opened, adding an extra layer of protection during firings. Optional caster wheels make moving the kiln around your workspace easy, allowing for greater flexibility in your studio setup.
