Paragon CS-14D Clamshell Glass Furnace – 14.5″ Wide, Side-Hinged, 1700°F Max

Description

The Paragon CS-14D is a small-format clamshell glass furnace designed to offer maximum access and control in a compact footprint. With a maximum firing temperature of 1700°F (926°C) and a 14.5-inch chamber width, it’s ideal for slumping, fusing, and shallow mold work for jewelry, tiles, and decorative panels.

This kiln features a side-hinged clamshell lid that opens wide from the top, giving artists full visual and physical access to the kiln floor. This makes delicate loading and mold positioning much easier, especially when working with fragile materials. The Sentry 12-Key Digital Controller allows for multi-step ramp/hold programming, giving users complete control over thermal cycles for precision firing.

Despite its small size, the CS-14D delivers professional-grade performance and is well suited for home studios, classrooms, and small-batch production.
