All this and more in a design that looks as good as it performs.
NEW! Better Venting Options! Evenheat now offers a Two-Position Lid Vent. The lower vent position props the lid up by about an inch. Perfect for venting off adhesives and other low-temperature binding materials. The upper vent position props the lid by about 4 inches. Perfect for speeding up the cooling process.
NEW! An easily identifiable Maintenance Tag! To assist you in replacing worn items we have included a maintenance parts tag on the GTS 28 indicating the proper Evenheat part numbers for anticipated maintenance items. Wish we had this decades ago.
All these improvements build on the legacy of what artists have come to expect from GTS line.
Fiber Lid
The lid of the GTS 28 is constructed of a fiber material that provides excellent thermal properties along with light weight. This design allows the heating elements to be positioned on the surface for maximum heat
transfer and firing efficiency.
The fiber chosen for the lid is an extremely low-shot material. The surface is then covered with a no-shot fiber sheet. These two materials combine to create a lighter weight lid while severely limiting debris from the
lid falling onto the glass.
Top Load
The GTS 28 is a top loading design and offers a chamber 28" wide x 28" long x 13.5" deep. The rim of the chamber is 32" off the floor which is at waist height or lower making it very easy to load and position your glass.
Fiber and Firebrick Design
The GTS 28 is constructed of both fiber and firebrick. The entire lid is constructed of fiber to reduce the overall weight of the lid as well as severely limiting lid debris. The walls and floor are made of firebrick which is desired in a glass kiln as it stores heat in the beginning of the firing and acts to smooth out temperature swings. It then releases heat slowly at the completion of the firing resulting in very effective annealing. It's beautiful.
The GTS 28, like the related Studio Pro models, artfully combines two great materials to produce one of the best glass kiln designs out there.
Swing View Equipped
GTS 28 temperature controls are fitted to our Swing View Adjustable Enclosure. The swing view is a pivoting, swing-up enclosure that allows you to
rotate the control to a comfortable viewing and programming angle. Once you're done, lay it back down to see it from across your studio. It's
that simple.
The swing view pairs well with touchscreen controls like the TAP II, Icon+ and Icon as viewing angle can be perfectly aligned. You'll love it.
