Paragon Fusion-7 Glass Fusing Kiln
Product quality and customer service
Bernadette Boutier of Grapevine,Texas wrote,I proudly show off my Fusion-7 to my stained glass buddies . I am not the usual hot glass artist,but rather an odd duck that enjoys refurbishing antique stained glass windows . Much of the glass used in those old windows can never be made again due to the nature of the silicas,colors,and manner in which they were manufactured 100 years ago . I am left to either use new glass made by the various glass companies where the color is not quite right,or I work (play) on fusing several types of new glass that looks like (or comes close) to the broken glass that I am trying to replace . I’ve enjoyed the experimentation,and I get some awesome colors and textures .
I decided that I wanted a Paragon for several reasons: I had heard that the quality was tops,and I found that to be true,Bernadette continued . Second,the service by Paragon and the folks who work there is second to none . I could go on and on about why I like my Fusion-7,but in a nutshell,I loveit because it is the largest kiln that will run off a 120 volt line,and it is so very versatile,with more room than you would think when working with relatively large pieces of glass . It is a great product,and you guys just keep on keeping on with what you’re doing .
Judith Conway of glass e-book fame wrote,The Paragon Fusion-7 is an excellent kiln . Operating on regular household current,it is an easy addition to your home/studio . And Paragon offers better-than-excellent customer service . We have sold many,many Fusion-7’s,and all our customers/students/friendsrecommend them to others as both a great starter kiln and a kiln to keep on hand for both test firing and smaller firing and smaller loadfiring in the years to come .

Pinless element grooves

The Fusion-7 heats from the top . For reliability,the elements are mounted in pinless element grooves . Since the element coils are wider than the groove opening,the elements do not need pins .
18 tall stand,galvanized base plate
An 18 tall stand comes standard with the Fusion-7 . The stand raises the kiln to a comfortable height for loadng and operation . A heavy galvanized steel base completely covers the reversible firebrick bottom . The base folds up under the stainless case on all sides to strengthen the firingchamber . This is one more assurance that your Paragon kiln is built to last .
Insulating firebricks
The Fusion-7 is made with insulating firebricks,which store heat for slow cooling . Thus,smaller,thinner projects may not need additional heat during the annealing range . The lid is 3 thick and the walls and bottom are 2½thick .
