PARAGON OVATION 1013: Wide-Format Precision for Glass Artists
Large Surface. Low Profile. Maximum Versatility.
The Paragon Ovation 1013 is a wide-format glass kiln designed for large-scale slumping, fusing, and production work—all within a low-profile 13.38" interior height. With its 41" wide x 22.5" deep firing chamber, it’s the ideal solution for firing large platters, glass tiles, window panels, or multiple smaller pieces in a single load. Whether you’re crafting decorative glass or running a high-volume studio, the Ovation 1013 delivers capacity and control in a reliable, easy-to-use platform.
Optimized for Performance and Durability
The Ovation 1013 comes standard with top-mounted heating elements, engineered to provide even, consistent heat across the entire shelf area. Its low chamber height reduces thermal layering and speeds up heat-up and cool-down times—ideal for repeat firings or workshop environments. With a wide selection of relay options and upgrades, this kiln can be tailored to meet your workflow.

Get a Kiln Vent: Cleaner Air, Better Firings, and Peace of Mind
The Orton Vent Master is more than a fume extractor—it’s an essential upgrade for serious ceramic artists and studios. By actively drawing fumes from your kiln and replacing them with fresh oxygen, the Vent Master improves both firing results and your working environment.
Pulls in fresh oxygen for brighter glaze colors—especially reds and oranges
Reduces glaze cross-contamination, letting you fire red and green glazes in the same load
Promotes even heat distribution throughout the kiln chamber
Helps eliminate common issues like:
Bloating
Pinholes and pitting
Dark patches
Porcelain mildew
Blisters and bubbles
Removes fumes that contain volatile metals, fluorides, and sulfur compounds
Lets you safely fire lusters, metallics, decals, and pâte de verre without strong odors
Keeps harmful exhaust out of your workspace by venting it outside
Slight increase in firing time: ~5 minutes (cone 04), ~12 minutes (cone 10)
Reduces cooling time by up to 2 hours from 1000°F to room temperature
Minimal power usage—just 132 watts (pennies per firing)
Helps extend the life of your Kiln Sitter tube assembly by keeping fumes away
Remote motor placement means no kiln vibration and cooler, longer-lasting fan operation
Your PARAGON CT kiln comes Kiln Vent ready. This means that it's already pre-drilled for your convenience.
You won't need a separate 120V wall outlet as your PARAGON CT kiln includes an AOP (Auxiliary Outlet Plug) to power the Kiln Vent.
On your PARAGON CT, the Kiln Vent can be installed to the bottom of the kiln
You will need a kiln stand. Remember ordering yours!
The Kiln Vent comes with a 3’ long 2” duct that connects the collection cup to the motor
You should use a standard 4” aluminum dryer duct or 4” PVC pipe to vent outside (do not use vinyl duct)
Remote motor placement means no kiln vibration and cooler, longer-lasting fan operation
Can be used to vent two kilns with the optional Expansion Kit
