Its spacious square chamber, efficient top-fired design, and 120V operation make it an excellent choice for home studios, classrooms, and artists who want more workspace without requiring a dedicated high-voltage circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"978\" data-start=\"616\"\u003eThe Paragon Fusion 16 is designed for artists who need greater firing area while maintaining the simplicity and accessibility of a compact studio kiln. Whether creating decorative tile sets, layered dichroic jewelry, slumped bowls, or small production batches, the Fusion 16 provides the workspace and thermal consistency needed for reliable, repeatable results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1290\" data-start=\"980\"\u003eInside the kiln, the 16\" x 16\" x 6.75\" square firing chamber offers generous surface area for arranging multiple projects or working with larger glass layouts. The square format maximizes usable workspace and supports edge-to-edge temperature consistency during full fuse, tack fuse, and slumping applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1603\" data-start=\"1292\"\u003eTop-mounted heating elements provide even heat distribution across the chamber surface for dependable firing performance. The elements are installed within pinless grooves in the firebrick lid, eliminating the need for metal pins while reducing maintenance and helping keep the firing chamber cleaner over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1977\" data-start=\"1605\"\u003eThe kiln is constructed using a thick 3\" firebrick lid paired with 2.5\" insulating firebrick walls and floor for excellent thermal retention and controlled cooling performance during annealing cycles. A full-formed galvanized steel base reinforces the kiln structure while fully supporting the reversible firebrick floor for added durability during repeated firing cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2422\" data-start=\"1979\"\u003eThe Fusion 16 is equipped with the SENTINEL Touch Xpress digital controller mounted on a sloped switch box for comfortable operation and improved visibility during firing. Artists can create, store, and manage custom firing schedules with precise ramp and hold control for slumping, tack fuse, full fuse, and annealing applications. A heavy-duty sheathed Type-K thermocouple delivers accurate temperature readings throughout each firing cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2686\" data-start=\"2424\"\u003eUnlike larger high-voltage kilns, the Fusion 16 operates on a standard 120V household circuit and requires no additional stand, making it especially practical for compact studios, classrooms, and shared creative environments where electrical flexibility matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3054\" data-start=\"2688\"\u003eThe Fusion 16 is especially well-suited for intermediate and advancing glass artists who need additional firing area without stepping into larger 240V equipment. Its combination of square workspace, dependable thermal performance, and accessible power requirements make it an excellent kiln for artists growing their capabilities while maintaining studio efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-end=\"3066\" data-start=\"3056\"\u003eController\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"3324\" data-start=\"3068\"\u003eThe Paragon Fusion 16 features the SENTINEL Touch Xpress digital controller with advanced firing schedule customization capabilities.
