Kiln Furniture Sets
At Potclays, we offer a wide range of kiln furniture sets designed to match specific kiln models - from top-loading studio kilns to larger industrial units. Instead of piecing together shelves and props individually, a dedicated set provides potters with a ready-made configuration sized and specified to work efficiently with your selected kiln. Whether you're firing earthenware, stoneware, or porcelain, the right furniture set can help you load safely, protect your ware, and make the most of every firing.
What are Kiln Furniture Sets Used For?
Our sets of kiln furniture can be used across a range of kilns, including popular Rohde models.
In simple terms, sets provide a framework that supports your projects in the kiln. A typical set includes shelves and props, with the contents carefully chosen to suit the firing chamber size, shape and recommended loading pattern. This allows potters to build to multiple levels and make use of the kiln's height.
In top-loading kilns, the shelves are usually round or segment-styled to fit the chamber, while front-loading kilns often have rectangular shelves to suit the flat floor. A well-matched set makes it easier for crafters to plan firing loads, and supports long-term kiln performance by reducing base and wall exposure to drips and knocks.
The Benefits of Using Kiln Furniture Sets
By selecting a complete set rather than individual pieces, you can be sure the contents of the furniture set will fit. Shelves will be sized to your model, and props will provide sensible stacking options without wasting space. This makes it easier to achieve even heat distribution.
Using sets is also more cost-effective, providing an appropriate mix of components without needing to source appropriate shelves and props. This is ideal for educational settings - saving both time and money!
By opting for a specific set, potters can also enjoy safer loading thanks to sturdy, high-quality shelves and props. When they're arranged correctly, there is a reduced risk of shelves tipping, cracking or warping under heavy loads.
