PROFUSION 38

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

ABOUT

The ProFusion line of all-fiber kilns is designed for artists specializing in glass fusing and slumping. With high-temperature rigid fiber tops and quartz-encased elements, these kilns support rapid firings, reaching temperatures of up to 500°F per hour—ideal for fast glass fusing. They also provide controlled firing for slumping projects, ensuring precision.

The innovative, lightweight fiber shelves rest flat on the kiln’s brick floor, transforming the entire chamber into an all-fiber firing environment. This feature significantly accelerates the firing process and ensures efficient, consistent fusing—particularly for smaller pieces. Thanks to their fiber construction, these kilns cool quickly to room temperature, making them ideal for busy studios that require multiple firings a day.

ProFusion kilns feature smooth-opening, clamshell-style lids with spring-assisted lifting. A standout benefit is the ability for artists to work directly on the kiln shelves, reducing the risk of damage during transport.

The controller can be wall-mounted, eliminating the need to bend over for programming. Additionally, the kiln floor is made of individual bricks, not cemented together, allowing for easy replacement if needed.

The ProFusion 38 comes with a 25" x 36" fiber shelf and is ideal for large projects, including fusing full glass sheets. It features an integrated stand with casters, positioning the kiln at the optimal height for easy loading. The kiln fits easily in a garage with a large door or can be disassembled to fit through a 36" door.
