What is the most efficient way to load tiles?

Updated on Jan 24, 2025

Tile and plate setters are holders used to stack plates and tiles inside the kiln. Firing plates and tiles is more efficient with a tile or plate setter than placing these items flat on the shelf. The setters not only save space in the kiln but also allow air circulation around the ware, preventing warping and breakage. The ware heats more uniformly in a setter than when placed directly onto a kiln shelf.
