Here at The Ceramic Shop, we have a wide variety of kiln shelves in stock and ready to ship. Pressed Cordierite (alumina) shelves are the standard shelf that comes with most American-made kilns. These are also typically the most economical. They are relatively durable, they can be fired repeatedly to cone 10, and they can be used in either electric or gas kilns. There is now a lighter-weight version of these alumina shelves available - called Corelite shelves, and Hollow Core Shelves these are the shelves shown above with the hollow centers. Although they are a bit more expensive than the standard Cordierite shelves, they strong, stay flat longer -- and are also much lighter than the standard shelves, which makes them a breeze to load especially in top loading kilns. The black shelves pictured above are silicon carbide shelves. These shelves are ideal for high temperature firing and for gas kilns - because they can conduct electricity, we do not recommend them for use in your electric kiln.
Call today to discuss your kiln dimensions and we can help you find the right shelf. If you need a special sized shelf in a rectangle or square shape.

A Note for Glass Makers: Kiln shelves may often have a rough surface, or are made with slight imperfections and pockmarks. While this is rarely an issue for ceramic artists, this may be troublesome for those who work with glass. While we cannot accept returns on shelves due to surface variations, we do suggest that glass artists use Thin Fire Shelf Paper which will help combat imperfections in the shelf surface. |
