PARAGON FUSION 19: Clean heat, large surface, and modern glass artistry
A premium square kiln with ceramic fiber lid and professional-grade performance
The PARAGON FUSION 19 is built for glass artists who want more than space—they want purity, precision, and potential. With a full 19" x 19" square chamber and a deluxe ceramic fiber lid, the Fusion19 offers exceptional thermal performance and a clean firing environment. From large-format fused glass tiles to intricate bowls and jewelry, this kiln supports both exploration and production at a high level.
Why own a kiln like this?
With the Fusion19 in your studio, your glass practice becomes entirely self-driven. No waiting for kiln access or outsourcing to others—you can test new techniques, fire on your own timeline, and confidently produce pieces for exhibitions, commissions, or retail. Whether you're layering dichroic glass, experimenting with stringers, or fusing recycled materials, this kiln gives you the scale and control to evolve your work.
Why choose the PARAGON FUSION 19?
What makes the Fusion19 unique is its ceramic fiber lid—a 2.75" thick, lightweight top with embedded heating elements. This design eliminates the need for pins, keeps the firing chamber nearly dust-free, and delivers even heat across the entire surface. The lid is easy to lift thanks to its low mass and is supported by a wide, cool-touch 6" wooden handle for added comfort.
The firing chamber measures 19" wide x 19" deep x 6.5" high, giving you the surface area and depth to work with large plates, decorative tiles, or batch jewelry runs. The walls and bottom are made of 2.5" insulating firebrick, with a refractory coating applied to the top of the walls for enhanced durability.
The kiln is supported by a full steel base with integrated rubber feet, eliminating the need for a separate stand while ensuring stability and vibration reduction. The structure is built to last, and like all Paragon kilns, the Fusion19 is backed by a two-year warranty.
The PARAGON FUSION 19 comes standard with the SENTINEL Touch Xpress digital controller mounted at an angle for easy viewing. The controller offers full programming flexibility—ideal for tack fusing, full fusing, and slumping cycles. A sheathed Type-K thermocouple ensures reliable temperature feedback throughout the firing.
A power switch on the front of the control panel allows you to turn off the controller when not in use, reducing wear and energy consumption.
Who is this kiln for?
The Fusion19 is ideal for advanced glass artists, educators, or production studios who need a generous firing surface paired with a clean and efficient top-heating system. It’s the right choice for artists making larger decorative work or producing multiple small pieces per session—especially those sensitive to dust or looking for a low-maintenance, modern kiln solution.
