Product Overview
GTS 28
The GTS 28 is our largest square-shaped top-loading glass kiln and combines the speed of fiber and the annealing properties of firebrick to create the finest large studio kiln available.
The firing chamber is sized to fit our 24" X 24" easy to handle shelf. The lid is constructed of fiber for speed and light weight. The chamber is constructed of firebrick that results in a smooth heat up and beautiful annealing. Exterior lines are attractive with a feel that fits your style.
The GTS 28 is designed for glass fusing, slumping, draping casting and any other glass work up to 1800°F.
The GTS 28 is standard equipped with our Quiet Drive Solid State Relays and pairs well with our TAP II or Icon+ controls for the ultimate in ease-of-use, reliability and performance.
Form meets function as the GTS 28 fits your glass, your studio and your style.
We recommend ordering yours with the TAP touchscreen control and solid state relays for the ultimate in performance and long life.The Quiet Drive allows for tight temperature control and longer element life.
Fiber Lid
The lid of the GTS 28 is constructed of a fiber material that provides excellent thermal properties along with light weight. This design allows the heating elements to be positioned on the surface for maximum heat transfer and firing efficiency.
​
The fiber chosen for the lid is an extremely low-shot material. The surface is then covered with a no-shot fiber sheet. These two materials combine to create a lighter weight lid while severely limiting debris from the lid falling onto the glass. Very nice.
Top Load
The GTS 28 is a top loading design and offers a chamber 28" wide x 28" long x 13.5" deep. The rim of the chamber is 32" off the floor which is at waist height or lower making it very easy to load and position your glass.
Fiber and Firebrick Design
The GTS 28 is constructed of both fiber and firebrick.
The entire lid of the GTS 28 is constructed of fiber to reduce the overall weight of the lid as well as severely limiting lid debris.
The walls and floor are made of firebrick which is desired in a glass kiln as it stores heat in the beginning of the firing which acts to smooth out temperature swings. It then releases heat slowly at the completion of the firing resulting in very effective annealing. It's just beautiful.
The GTS 28, like the related Studio Pro models, artfully combines two great materials to produce one of the best glass kiln designs out there.
Swing View Equipped
GTS 28 temperature controls are fitted to our Swing View Adjustable Enclosure.
The swing view is a pivoting, swing-up enclosure that allows you to rotate the control to a comfortable viewing and programming angle. Once you're done, lay it back down to see it from across your studio. It's that simple.
The swing view pairs well with touchscreen controls like the TAP II, Icon+ and Icon as viewing angle can be perfectly aligned. You'll love it.
2 Position Lid Vent
The GTS 28 is equipped with a 2 position lid vent.
The lower vent position props the lid by about an inch. Perfect for venting off adhesives and other low temperature binding materials.
The upper vent position props the lid by about 4 inches. Perfect for speeding up the cooling process.
