CT102329 Janus Ceramic and Glass Kiln 10 Sided

PARAGON Janus CT102329: Dual-Fire Power in a High-Capacity Workhorse

Built on the Ceramic Top legacy—engineered for glass and pottery alike.
The PARAGON CT Series—short for Ceramic Top—has long been trusted by ceramicists, schools, and studios for its performance, reliability, and structural integrity. Now, with the Janus edition, the PARAGON CT102329 offers a unique advantage: one kiln that fires both ceramics and glass with precision. Designed for serious artists and high-throughput studios, this model delivers unmatched versatility, depth, and volume—without compromise.

Why choose the PARAGON CT102329 JANUS FIRING?

This 10-sided round kiln features an interior diameter of 23” and a towering 29” interior height, resulting in a spacious 7.10 cubic feet of firing volume. Its generous depth is ideal for tall sculpture, multi-shelf configurations, and batch production. Whether you’re loading a class set of work or producing layered studio firings, the CT102329 Janus gives you the space and performance to handle it all.

Janus Firing: Two Modes, One Kiln

The Janus configuration brings top and sidewall heating elements together, controlled by a built-in toggle switch that lets you select the right mode for your material:

• Glass Mode: activates the top and middle sidewall elements, creating an even heat ideal for fusing, sagging, and slumping larger glass projects.

• Pottery Mode: activates only the sidewall elements, providing the ideal heat profile for bisque, glaze, or high-fire ceramic work—including cone 10.

If your studio crosses disciplines—or you simply want more flexibility from one piece of equipment—the CT102329 Janus offers a professional-grade solution.
