Product Overview
Paragon TLC16 Top Loader Clamshell for Glass Fuse and Slump
At Paragon, we believe that the best tools are built with the people who use them in mind. That’s why, when it came time to develop our latest model, we turned to you—the glass community. We launched an open survey, and over 1,000 glass enthusiasts shared their dreams and ideas for the perfect kiln. Your feedback was the cornerstone of this project, inspiring every design choice we made.
Armed with your insights, we embarked on months of dedicated research and development, refining a kiln that would truly transform your creative experience. We also collaborated with two incredible artists: Kristine Shafer from Helios Glass Studio in Austin and Sarinda Jones from Reflective Art Studio in Salt Lake City. Their hands-on testing and invaluable input helped us perfect the prototypes.
Now, we’re proud to introduce the Paragon TLC16—a revolutionary glass kiln that sets new standards for innovation and ease of use.
Elevate Your Craft with Unmatched Versatility and Precision
The TLC16 redefines flexibility with its dual loading options. Prefer a quick and easy top-loading design? Open the lid and get started. Need full access to your work? The clamshell feature gives you complete visibility and control. With the TLC16, your kiln adjusts to your workflow, not the other way around.
Control and precision are at the heart of the TLC16, thanks to our groundbreaking Vari-Fire system. Customize your firing range effortlessly using the intuitive slider on the controller, which provides precision heating from both the top and sides. No more limitations—your artistic vision can come to life exactly as you imagined.
Effortless Setup and Reliable Performance
Worried about complicated installations? Don’t be. The TLC16 is engineered to work with standard 120V outlets at 15 Amps, so you can plug in and start creating without a hitch. Built for reliability, the kiln comes equipped with durable SSR and a mechanical relay backup system, ensuring consistent performance through every project.
We’ve also made maintenance a breeze. The removable floor lets you clean and care for your kiln with ease, giving you more time to focus on your art and less time worrying about upkeep.
Style Meets Functionality
Art is an expression of individuality, and your tools should reflect that. The TLC16 is not only a powerhouse but also a statement piece for your studio. Available in 8 vibrant colors, you can choose the one that best complements your artistic space.
With the Paragon TLC16, we’ve created more than just a kiln; we’ve designed a tool that empowers your creativity and simplifies your artistic process. Ready to take your glasswork to the next level?
