A spacious surface for serious fusing—on a standard household outlet

The PARAGON FUSION 16 brings together generous workspace, efficient top-fired design, and the convenience of 120V power. Its 16" x 16" square firing chamber offers the perfect layout for fusing glass tiles, assembling layered jewelry, or crafting decorative bowls and plates. Designed for home studios, classrooms, and hobbyists, the Fusion16 delivers performance without requiring a special electrical setup.

Why own a kiln like this?

Owning a kiln like the Fusion16 allows you to create without limits. You can explore layering techniques, test ideas you’ve picked up from workshops or books, and fire pieces exactly when and how you want. Whether you're making dichroic pendants, matching tile sets, or personalized gifts, the Fusion16 gives you the control to develop your own style and process.

Why choose the PARAGON FUSION 16?

The Fusion16 features a 16" x 16" x 6.75" square chamber—giving you more room for plates, tiles, and layouts that require edge-to-edge temperature uniformity. The kiln heats from the top, with elements securely placed in pinless grooves in the firebrick lid. This design keeps the firing chamber clean and reduces long-term maintenance.

Constructed with 2.5" thick firebrick walls and a robust 3" firebrick lid, the Fusion16 retains heat effectively and promotes controlled cooling, essential for preventing thermal shock and ensuring strong, stable glasswork. A full-formed galvanized steel base provides strong structural support and encases the reversible brick floor for added durability.

The PARAGON FUSION 16 is equipped with the SENTINEL Touch Xpress digital controller on a sloped panel for comfort and visibility. This intuitive interface allows you to easily program and save custom firing schedules, from tack fuse to full fuse to slumping. A sheathed Type-K thermocouple ensures accurate temperature control throughout the cycle.

This model requires no additional stand and operates on a standard 120V household circuit—making it ideal for compact studios or shared creative spaces.

Who is this kiln for?

The Fusion16 is ideal for intermediate to advanced glass artists who want the flexibility of a larger firing area without needing 240V power. It’s an excellent choice for those working in tile, decorative plate formats, and small production runs. It also suits artists and educators who want a stable, easy-to-use kiln that supports frequent firing and dependable results.
