Featuring Paragon's innovative clamshell design, the CS14S opens from the bottom up, allowing the lid and chamber walls to lift together as a single unit. This provides unobstructed access to the kiln floor, making it easy to arrange glass pieces, build layered designs, create frit patterns, and position molds with precision before firing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CS Series was developed specifically for glass artists who need greater visibility and easier access during project setup. Unlike traditional top-loading kilns, the clamshell configuration allows users to work directly over the kiln floor without reaching over sidewalls, helping reduce the risk of disturbing carefully arranged projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a spacious 14\" square firing chamber, the CS14S provides ample room for fused glass tiles, jewelry, ornaments, small bowls, decorative panels, and layered glass artwork. Its compact footprint makes it an excellent choice for home studios, classrooms, hobbyists, and professional artists seeking dependable performance in a space-efficient design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CS14S features top-mounted heating elements installed in pinless element grooves for clean operation and even heat distribution across the firing chamber. This design promotes consistent firing results while helping protect the elements and simplify maintenance over the life of the kiln.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clamshell lifting mechanism is assisted by a counterweight system that provides smooth, effortless opening and closing. An extended rear base adds stability while the kiln is open, creating a secure workspace during loading and unloading. Mar-proof rubber feet help protect work surfaces while providing stable support during operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eControl is provided by the SENTINEL Touch Xpress touchscreen controller with advanced Ramp-Hold programming capabilities. Easily create and store custom firing schedules, adjust heating and cooling rates, and monitor real-time kiln temperatures through the intuitive touchscreen interface. Whether performing tack fusing, full fusing, slumping, or annealing cycles, the controller provides the precision needed for consistent glassworking results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt for long-term reliability, the CS14S features a painted steel exterior, heavy-duty steel base, reversible firebrick floor, stainless steel-sheathed thermocouple, and dual mechanical relays that help distribute electrical loads and extend relay life.
