This company offers 14-in.-square by 6-1/2-in. deep CS-14S and CS-14D glass fusing kilns. The clamshell kilns lift out of the way for loading. The dual-opening CS-14D is opened by lifting a conventional kiln lid or by lifting the clamshell firing chamber. The single-opening CS-14S walls and top lift up as a single unit. An optional bead door and high-temperature glass window are available for the CS-14S. Both kilns can be ordered with the optional mercury relay or a ceramic fiber lid.

"The idea behind the CS kilns is that you can assemble glass on a kiln shelf while it is already inside the kiln," said John S. Hohenshelt, Paragon Industries president. "In many cases, this will eliminate the need to glue the pieces before firing."
