The deluxe, Professional Series Paragon GL44ADTS square glass kiln will help you to unlock your potential as a glass designer. The kiln quickly pays for itself by producing large glass panels, curved windows, lampshades, or production loads of glass pendants. Experiment with reactive glass colors, screen printing on glass, painting with frit and stringers, and glass weaving. The GL-44ADTSD is proudly made in America by skilled workers. It is not just assembled, but hand-crafted and designed for those whose livelihood depends on glass production.
The 240-volt Iguana plugs into a standard 6-50R outlet, so you can fire it on the outlet most studio kilns already use. **208v available on request**

Industrial-Grade Relays
The kiln includes features not found on competitive kilns. For instance, mercury relays are standard on this kiln for your peace of mind. Relays send power to the elements on command from the digital controller. The industrial-grade mercury relays found on the GL-44ADTSD far outlast mechanical relays. The life of the quiet, reliable mercury relay has been measured in millions of on/off cycles.
Interior Dimensions: 21” wide 43” long x 16” deep
The 16” depth is ideal for glass sagging. The sidewall heating elements, mounted in all four sides, offer greater control of sagging and bending. The kiln uses advanced power ratio technology, pioneered by Paragon, to balance the heat between the top and side elements. Program the digital controller to balance the heat between the top and sides in increments of 10%. (i.e., 100% top - 0% sides, 50% top - 50% sides, 80% top – 20% sides, etc.) Set the heat balance for any combination desired between the top and sides so that the total heat output equals 100%. Imagine the precise control you will have in adjusting the kiln to slump glass or to improve heat distribution over large fused panels.
The GL-44ADTSD has four peepholes along the front. When ordering the optional Orton KilnVent, be sure to specify whether you want peepholes. The kiln comes with welded mounting plates for optional 2” casters. The GL-44ADTSD brick bottom holds two 20” square shelves. Cover shelves with fiber paper when large projects overlap shelves.
Reinforced Steel Frame
3” insulating firebrick lines the walls. A welded 2" tubular steel frame reinforces the kiln for long life. We are so confident in the GL-44ADTSD that we back it with a two-year warranty.
Lid Counter-Balance, Pinless Lid Elements
The massive lid is easy to lift with Paragon's patented LiteLid spring counter-balance, which does away with cumbersome pulleys and cords and dramatically reduces lid weight. Unlike pulleys and weights, the LiteLid is self-contained on the kiln. There is no need to drill holes in the ceiling for pulleys. The LiteLid sharply reduces wear between the lid and top rim of firebrick. The truss and floating lid allow expansion of the lid. The GL-44AD comes with two LiteLid assemblies. The lid is insulated with 1” ceramic fiber and 3” ceramic fiberboard. Replaceable heating elements mounted in lid fiberboard grooves. The groove eliminates element pins since the element coils are wider than the groove opening.
Rigorous Construction
Paragon’s GL-44ADTSD is made for years of rigorous firing. A double heat shield and the air gap between the kiln and ventilated switch box help keep electrical components cool for long, trouble-free service. Costly heavy-gauge nickel-plated copper wiring is covered with high temperature glass-braided insulation. The thermocouple, which senses temperature inside the kiln, is protected with a high-nickel stainless steel sheath for long life.
Water-Based Paint
The GL-44ADTSD has a durable high temperature,water-basede finish. We chose water-base paint because of the low emissions during spraying. This creates a safer working environment for our employees and cuts down on pollution.
