Kiln Shelves
Quantity discounts apply only when ordering MULTIPLES of the SAME item
If Your kiln is large enough to hold more than one piece at a time, kiln shelves and posts are must-have items. With reasonable care and using kiln wash to protect against glaze drips, your kiln shelves can last for years of use.
- Position posts directly over each other to help bear the weight of the load without the weight of the post adding that much more. (Click POSTS to go to the page to shop.)
- The bottom shelf should be on short posts (1" high) so that there is at least one inch clearance from the kiln's bottom slab. This allows heat to circulate under the bottom shelf too, preventing the formation of a cold spot during firing.
- Choose thicker posts if you have heavier pieces to fire.
- Three posts give more stable footing than four.
Inside Your Kiln
 |
- Stack shelves so that at least one kiln element is spaced between any two kiln shelves.
- Keep shelves one inch away from element coils and thermocouples or KilnSitters.
- Avoid using posts taller than 10 inches if possible.
- Place sets of witness cones on each shelf to verify that all areas of the kiln reached the desired temperature.
|
You should use witness cones in computerized kilns, too, to verify that the kiln actually reached the target temperature in the computer programming. The witness cones will also help you find any cold spots in your kiln.
Hollow-Core Shelves
Full shelves for the large kilns have always been too heavy to use -- until now. The hollow cores of these shelves reduce their weight by nearly half. Full and Half round fit the Skutt KM1227 or KF1027 kilns. Contact us regarding availability for FULL shelves that fit 1027 and 1227 size kilns. Half shelves are usually in stock, but it's always good to call first.

Round Shelves
IPS Ceramics has created a user guide for choosing the best furniture for your kiln and you firing needs. It is two pages of helpful information that everyone should read and print if you have a kiln. Click Shelf User Guide to see and/or print a copy of the guide. We now carry Spectrum Shelves imported from India (no duty). These shelves come with a general guidance on the specifications for these shelves. Click on the NT Spec Sheet link for a PDF with more information on these shelves.
PLEASE NOTE: We are currently out of KF818, KF819 & KF1027-1227 HA & NT shelves. We have no date yet for the HA (high alumina) shelves and NT (no tariff) shelves. We will update this information as soon as the shelves are back in stock.

Furniture Kits
The furniture selections in each kit are specially chosen for each kiln model with the basic needs of new kiln owners in mind.

You may find over time that you need to add more shelves or posts to meet your specific firing needs.
