Glass-making

We manufacture and supply a range of specialist kilns for kiln-formed glass applications including slumping, fusing, lustering, decorating and casting.

29 models to choose from making our standard range the largest range available designed specifically for the glass worker
7 of the top-loading models will operate on single phase electrical supply up to and including 40 amps
1 flat bed 13-amp plug-and-go kiln
2 models are plug-and-go kilns operating from 13 amp (UK) domestic supply
1 flat-bed kiln operates on a 30 amp single phase supply
4 front-loading kilns can be used on a 40 amps single phase electrical supply

We also offer a design facility for requirements not satisfied by our standard range
