Paragon collaborated with two incredible artists: Kristine Shafer from Helios Glass Studio in Austin and Sarinda Jones from Reflective Art Studio in Salt Lake City. Their hands-on testing and invaluable input helped us perfect the prototypes.
We’re proud to introduce the Paragon TLC16—a revolutionary glass kiln that sets new standards for innovation and ease of use.
Elevate Your Craft with Unmatched Versatility and Precision
The TLC16 redefines flexibility with its dual loading options. Prefer a quick and easy top-loading design? Open the
lid and get started. Need full access to your work? This clamshell feature gives you complete visibility and control. With the TLC16, your kiln adjusts to your workflow, not the other way around.
Control and precision are at the heart of the TLC16, thanks to our groundbreaking Vari-Fire system. Customize your firing range effortlessly using the intuitive slider on the controller, which provides precision heating from both the top and sides. No more limitations—your artistic vision can come to life exactly as you imagined.

Kiln Lid Lifts Out of the Way for Hassle-Free Loading
The kiln lifts up and out of the way so you can assemble glass pieces inside the kiln directly onto a shelf. Add stringers and frit to delicate designs. When the kiln is full, lower the kiln over the shelf. Imagine how easy that is.
The Paragon TLC 16 kiln is dual-opening: You can open the kiln by lifting the kiln body or by lifting only the lid. Lift the kiln body out of the way to assemble glass directly on the shelf; open the lid to load glass over a slumping mold.
The Paragon TLC 16 kiln can be opened by lifting the kiln body or the kiln lid, but never both at the same time. The gravity-operated top latch holds the lid closed; the lever-operated bottom latch holds the kiln body closed.
Protective Steel Lid Cover
The top of the lid is protected with a painted sheet metal cover. The sheet metal is bent to cover the sides of the lid and then welded at the corners. You will be amazed at the sturdy construction that has made Paragon kilns renowned among glass fusers. The self-adjusting lid floats at fusing temperatures.
Effortless Setup and Reliable Performance
Worried about complicated installations? Don’t be. The TLC16 is engineered to work with standard 120V outlets at 15
Amps, so you can plug in and start creating without a hitch. Built for
reliability, the kiln comes equipped with durable SSR and a mechanical
relay backup system, ensuring consistent performance through every project.
We’ve also made maintenance a breeze. The removable floor lets you clean and care for your kiln with ease, giving
you more time to focus on your art and less time worrying about upkeep.
Style Meets Functionality
Art is an expression of individuality, and your tools should reflect that. The TLC16 is not only a powerhouse but also a statement piece for your studio. Available in 8 vibrant colors, you can choose the one that best complements your artistic space.
The TLC 16 is painted with a durable high temperature, water-based 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.
The Paragon TLC16 is than just a kiln; it's designed to empower your creativity and
simplify your artistic process. Ready to take your glasswork to the next level?
Discover the Paragon TLC16—where innovation meets artistry.
