Why buy a Paragon kiln?
We have exactly what
you need
With over 4,000 kilns in 20 product lines, Paragon has the largest kiln selection
in the industry to support your firing requirements. We offer everything from
small table top kilns that operate on a standard 120 volt household outlet to
large production kilns. Our kilns are competitively priced and offer you the
best value in cost per cubic foot of interior space.
Safety
Paragon’s highest priority is to design kilns that are safe for you to enjoy.
100% of our models are designed to Underwriter Laboratories Standard 499 and
99% of our catalog standard kilns have completed certification. The initial
testing along with the quarterly compliance visits from UL assure the safety of
our products. All of our products comply with the National Electric Code.
Easy to use
Every one of our kilns is ergonomically designed with you in mind so you get a
continually reliable kiln that is easy to use. We offer many ceramic,
pottery, and glass front loading kilns that make loading easy. All of our
large top-loading kilns come standard with our patented LiteLid system. You can
lift the lid with two fingers. All of our digital kilns use controllers from
Orton Ceramics because of the easy to read display and ease of programming.
Reliable
We manufacture kilns that produce consistent, repeatable firings to eliminate
wasted materials and time. Every element is designed with the heaviest gauge
wire available for long element life. Further, the elements in every model are
tuned to produce even heat distribution. We have found the digital controllers
from Orton to be the most reliable in the industry. We warrant the Orton Sentry
2.0 controller for 2 ½ years. Every kiln must pass a 15-step quality control
inspection before it is shipped to you.
Easy maintenance
You can change elements in minutes with our crimpless element connectors;
recessed grooves hold the elements of most models without pins. The digital
controller can be removed in minutes for upgrade or repair. We include a wiring
diagram and instruction manual with each model. At our website, you can sign up
for free e-mail pointers on kiln firing and maintenance.
Customized options and upgrades
Many models can be customized to your needs with S-Type thermocouples, ITC
coatings, zone control, APM elements, or stands with casters. If you do not
find a kiln that meets your needs in our extensive selection, we can build a
custom kiln that suits your exact needs.
