Built for advanced glass artists, educators, and production studios seeking clean firings, precise digital control, and expanded workspace, the Paragon Fusion 19 delivers professional-level performance for fused glass tiles, bowls, plates, jewelry, slumping, and decorative panel work. Its spacious square chamber, lightweight ceramic fiber lid, and even top-fired heating system make it an exceptional kiln for artists who demand both performance and efficiency.
The Paragon Fusion 19 is designed for glass artists ready to move into larger-format work and higher-volume firing without sacrificing firing quality or chamber cleanliness. Whether creating layered dichroic glass, decorative wall pieces, slumped vessels, or production jewelry runs, the Fusion 19 offers the surface area and thermal consistency needed for dependable, repeatable results.
Inside the kiln, the generous 19" x 19" x 6.5" square firing chamber provides ample space for larger projects or organized multi-piece production loads. The square chamber layout maximizes usable workspace while supporting even heat distribution across the firing surface.
What sets the Fusion 19 apart is its advanced 2.75" ceramic fiber lid with embedded heating elements. Unlike traditional pin-fired lids, this lightweight fiber design eliminates exposed element pins, reduces dust contamination inside the firing chamber, and promotes exceptionally even top-fired heating performance. The lower thermal mass of the fiber lid also makes lifting and operation easier during daily studio use.
The kiln chamber walls and floor are constructed from 2.5" insulating firebrick for dependable thermal retention and controlled cooling performance during annealing cycles. A protective refractory coating is applied to the upper wall surfaces for additional durability during repeated firing cycles.
A full steel base with integrated rubber feet provides stable support while eliminating the need for a separate stand. The kiln’s compact integrated design helps reduce vibration while maintaining a clean studio footprint.
The Fusion 19 features the SENTINEL Touch Xpress digital controller mounted on a sloped panel for comfortable programming and easy visibility during firing cycles. Artists can create, store, and manage custom firing schedules with precise ramp and hold control for full fuse, tack fuse, slumping, and annealing applications. A heavy-duty sheathed Type-K thermocouple provides accurate temperature readings throughout each firing cycle.
Additional thoughtful details include a front-mounted power switch that allows the controller to be shut down between uses and a wide 6" wooden lid handle that remains comfortable to operate during firing sessions.
The Fusion 19 is especially well-suited for advanced fused glass artists, educators, and production studios seeking a clean, low-maintenance kiln with excellent thermal performance and generous firing space. Its ceramic fiber lid technology and balanced heating characteristics make it an outstanding choice for artists focused on both production efficiency and refined firing results.
