Combining a spacious 19\" x 19\" firing chamber with Paragon's advanced dual-opening design, the CS19D allows users to choose between full clamshell access or independent lid operation, making it one of the most versatile glass kilns in the CS Series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CS Series was created specifically for artists who want complete visibility and unrestricted access when assembling fused glass artwork. Unlike traditional top-loading kilns, the CS19D can open fully from the base, lifting both the chamber walls and lid to provide unobstructed access to the kiln floor. This makes it easier to position glass pieces, build layered compositions, arrange frit and stringers, and load slumping molds without reaching over kiln walls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets the CS19D apart is its dual-opening capability. In addition to full clamshell access, the lid can be opened independently, allowing convenient top-loading access for project adjustments, mold placement, shelf loading, and other studio tasks. This flexibility makes the CS19D an excellent choice for artists who regularly switch between fusing, slumping, casting, and production work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kiln's spacious 19\" x 19\" x 6.7\" firing chamber provides ample room for large fused glass panels, decorative wall art, platters, trays, slumped bowls, layered artwork, and multiple projects fired simultaneously. Its generous capacity makes it ideal for artists producing larger work or managing higher firing volumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ceramic fiber lid features fully embedded top-mounted heating elements that deliver clean, even radiant heat across the firing surface. The pinless design eliminates dust and debris associated with traditional element pins while helping maintain a cleaner firing chamber. During firing, the lid is designed to float slightly as temperatures increase, helping maintain an effective seal between the lid and kiln body for efficient and consistent thermal performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt for demanding studio environments, the CS19D features a painted steel lid cover with reinforced welded corners, a heavy-duty steel base, and a reversible firebrick floor designed for long service life. Three counterweight springs assist with smooth clamshell operation, while an extended rear support base provides stability whenever the kiln is open.\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, casting, or annealing cycles, the controller provides the precision required for repeatable results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA stainless steel-sheathed special-limit thermocouple provides accurate temperature measurement and dependable long-term performance. Dual mechanical relays help distribute electrical loads for extended relay life, while an optional mercury relay upgrade is available for artists seeking even greater durability and long-term reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eController\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Paragon CS19D features the SENTINEL Touch Xpress Controller with advanced touchscreen Ramp-Hold programming capabilities.
