Choosing the right kilnChoosing a kiln should not be a difficult task; the bricks used by most manufacturers will be the same. However the analogy that “you get what you pay for” could not be more applicable than when buying a kiln. Comparing one make with another is not necessarily comparing like with like and it is essential to research adequately before committing to what is probably the most important purchase the potter is ever going to make. Bricks will always be 9 x 4.5 x 3”; thus the sizes, in particular top-loading kilns, will be standardized. Some manufacturers will limit their range to the most popular sizes.

Choosing a Kiln

KILN & EQUIPMENT DELIVERY Delivery of kilns or equipment is often the aspect that is most overlooked. You must be aware how your kiln will arrive and what you may be responsible for. If your front-loading kiln arrives on a pallet weighing over 250kg and the delivery company leaves it on your drive, how do you get it on the ground and into position? We would like to make all customers aware of what is included in the three services we offer.

PALLET DELIVERY

The service can be applied to the delivery of top-loading kilns and wheels or any piece of equipment with external dimensions no greater than a metre square. The equipment is strapped to a pallet and delivered by means of a lorry with a tail lift. These vehicles normally have a pallet truck that can be used to manoeuvre the pallet on flat ground, but it must be appreciated that the price given is to deliver to site and off-load.

It is the customer’s responsibility to remove the kiln or equipment from the pallet and move into position.

Nabertherm Kilns are delivered by DHL pallet delivery service. The drivers will only off-load to the nearest convenient point. (Note: If a delivery driver offers to help further they are not covered by insurance and you are accepting responsibility for any damage that may occur to property or the kiln).

DELIVER, OFF-LOAD INTO POSITION

This is more of a tailored service and covers all sizes and shapes of equipment. Again, it is delivered by a vehicle with a tail-lift. The vehicles will always have a pallet truck and the driver will off-load and move the equipment into position. A survey is requested to give the carrier information on the surfaces and site to be encountered. This service can negotiate one step of no more than 4”, but cannot easily deliver heavy equipment on uneven or soft terrain. For large or relatively unstable equipment, assistance is requested from the customer. A completed kiln delivery questionnaire is required before delivery prices can be confirmed. This service is not available to all UK locations.

NORTHERN KILNS SPECIAL DELIVERY

This service is unique to Northern Kilns (Chieftain Round and Oval, Champion and Rocket Kilns) and is only provided for this manufacturer’s kilns. They deliver and off-load into situ negotiating no more than one step. They will install the kiln to a suitable isolator (switch) if applicable and if it is situated within 2 metres of the kiln. They will also instruct on use of the controllers supplied with their kilns. A completed kiln delivery questionnaire is required before delivery prices can be confirmed. (Note: This service is unrivalled, but the price reflects the comprehensive package offered and the removal of stress and responsibility to the customer.)

Gas or Electric?

The first consideration when choosing a kiln is the type of firing you want; oxidation (electric) or reduction (gas). Gas refers to the use of propane or natural gas.

Gas:

Benefits DrawbacksJet burner can be changed to Electric and vice versa. Often more expensive to run as because fuel is not burnt efficiently and a

large amount of heat is lost through venting.

Firing cost is not significantly different to electric (based on similar sized kilns).

Bisque firings are best done in the clean atmoshere of an electric kiln.

Reduction firing is possible Specialised venting required, especially if sited inside.

Easier and less expensive to install for larger kilns (15 cubic feet or more)

More attention and care needed than an electric kiln to fire properly.

Electric:

Benefits DrawbacksJet burner can be changed to Gas and vice versa. Not as easy to install and more expensive than a gas kiln for 15 cubic feet or

more (large electricity supply needed)

Firing cost is not significantly different to gas (based on similar sized kilns).

Cheaper to run due to fuel efficiency and less heat loss.

Bisque firings are best done in the clean atmoshere of an electric kiln.

Initial heating of an electric kiln is easy to control.

Less attention and care needed to fire properly.

Top v Front Loading

An argument can be made for either and it is often what the individual prefers.

Top Loading:

Benefits DrawbacksGenerally cheaper than front loading kilns. Not as easy to load.

Cheaper than front loading (due to 2.5 - 3” walls - 2.5” being imported brands)

Front loading:

Benefits DrawbacksEasier to load (although you will ve required to extend your back) Not as easy to load.

More expensive (due to 4.5” of kiln brick - one of the main material costs)

Which Kiln?


Round v Square

Round:

Benefits DrawbacksLess expensive than square kilns (easier to build and fewer bricks - on a per cubic foot comparison).

May load more effectively than a square kiln (depends on ware being fired).

Square:

Benefits DrawbacksMay load more effectively than a round kiln (depends on ware being fired) - but always balance this against the initial cost difference.

More expensive to build - more bricks.

Bricks v Fibre

Bricks:

Benefits DrawbacksInsulating firebricks are used in the vast majority of kilns and they will always outlast fibre.

Elements are easier to replace.

Fibre:

Benefits DrawbacksFibre heats and cools faster, which can be desirable in certain instances

Fibre is generally considered a disadvantage.

In fibre lined kilns elements are normally supported on ceramic rods; changing is therefore more complex and can be considerably more expensive.

Temperature

Most electric kilns produced in the UK will offer a maximum firing temperature of 1300°C (Cone 10). It is essential to appreciate that although probably all manufacturers refer to temperature because of the traditions of industry, they are in fact referring to heat work (the effect of temperature over a period of time). Therefore if the kiln has a maximum operating temperature of 1300° and a kiln controller is fitted, this should never be set to 1300°C or it will probably irreparably damage the fabric of the kiln. The damage will be greater in a kiln where the bricks are cemented (front-loading). Experiments with pyrometric cones to make initial comparisons of temperature to heat work are essential.

Kiln Size

Too small a kiln means too many firings. Too large means either wasting energy or the frustration of waiting too long for a full load. The larger the kiln the less expensive it is per cubic foot to buy. Also it is far less expensive to fire one large kiln rather than two firings in a kiln half the size due to the differences in heat loss and the time/energy required to heat up both the kiln and the load. One way to decide what size kiln is best is to draw a circle (top-loader) or square (front or top-loader) the size you think you want on newspaper. Try placing pieces you make on the paper to see if the size is adequate and the pieces pack efficiently. Gauging the height can be assessed in a similar way.

Electricity supply

Once you have selected the model or size of kiln you would like, you need to check your electricity supply is capable of taking such an appliance. If it is a 13amp model you should not have a problem as these kilns can be plugged into any 13amp socket. Remember that they should be plugged directly into the socket, never via a “gang” plug or extension lead. A kiln with a kW in excess of 13amp will always require a dedicated supply. This involves running a cable from your main fuse or distribution board to the room where the kiln is to be sited. An “isolator” or on/off switch should be sited convenient to the kiln placement. The kiln is then wired to the isolator. This is a very similar installation to an electric cooker. A modern house has 100amps of power (approximately) supplied to it. All the appliances used within the house cannot exceed this total. If you are unsure consult your electrician to check if you have enough available amps to enable your kiln to be installed.

The voltage in your property must also be checked. Colloquially speaking, we are said to use 230 volts in the UK, but through local area demands and also internal demands the voltage can drop. If your kiln is “plated” for 230v it means it needs this amount of voltage all the time it is operating. It has been known that potters have been wrongly advised that if your tumble dryer or washing machine works your kiln should work. This unfortunately is not the case. Normal household appliances have parameters in which they can work (i.e. if the clothes in your tumble dryer are not dry you can put it back on for longer etc.) A kiln must have 230v at all times otherwise a drop off in performance will be noted especially at stoneware temperatures.

Modern, as well as more and more older properties now have electricity supplies involving residual circuit devices (RCD’s). Kilns should not be wired in using an RCD as the moisture in a new kiln or from bisque firings will cause the supply to “trip”. If in doubt, consult a competent electrician.

Electricity Phases

It is standard for all domestic properties to have a single phase supply. Commercial premises or institutions can have three phase electricity supplies. Depending what appliances are already in use in a domestic property, an 8 cubic foot kiln, which will be rated at about 60amps, can be installed on a domestic supply. The advantage of a three phase supply is that the amperage of a kiln can be divided into three; therefore, the 8 cubic foot at 60 amps would be divided to 20amps per phase. Any kiln over 13amps can be converted easily to operate on a three phase supply. Dividing the amps also means much larger cubic capacities can be installed.

Wall Thickness

Kilns imported from America can have walls only 2.5” thick or 3” thick and no secondary insulation (a 0.5” thickness ceramic fibre blanket sandwiched between the brick and the kiln cladding). British made kilns invariably have 3” thick walls with the ceramic fibre secondary insulation. Analysis of the energy used for heat storage in the brick (the energy absorbed by the brick itself) versus the energy lost through the bricks shows that unless you plan a soak or a long firing at very high temperatures (where energy loss becomes more pronounced) or need to cool very slowly such as in crystal glazes, then the advantage of the thicker bricks and walls is almost negligible. Again it is stated by American manufacturers that where the fibre insulation is used as secondary insulation the energy savings is minimal at low temperatures and the advantage can only be noticed at high stoneware temperature firing (cone 8-10). We strongly recommend kilns with 3.5” thick bricks and 0.5” fibre backup as they can be used for any temperature up to 1300°C (cone 10). Also, the user is not limited to only lower temperature within the earthenware range.

Elements

We are often asked how long elements last. Unfortunately there is not a simple answer. The variables are the kW of the kiln (the more power going into a kiln the longer the elements should last), the amount of ware in each firing, and perhaps most importantly the temperature the kiln is fired to. Kilns fired to stoneware temperatures will need elements replacing far more often than kilns only fired to earthenware or bisque temperatures. The difference can be surprising, six to ten times more firings at the lower temperatures is possible.

Controllers

Over the years kiln controls have varied from the Dawson Kiln-Sitter to computer based programmable controllers. The kiln-sitter was fitted to virtually to all kilns imported from the States. They worked by using a pyrometric cone or bar, which bent from exposure to heat over a period of time. These were simple reasonably reliable devices. As electronic controllers have fallen in price the kiln-sitter has faded into the distance. The modern kiln controllers permit almost unlimited hands-off control over the entire process. They are relatively simple to use and allow controlled temperature rises over one or more ramps. Some also control the cooling cycle and the majority will also allow a soaking or dwell time during the heating up process and at the end of a firing. The latest controllers are also self diagnostic and can show error messages if something has failed.


Zone Controls

Most kilns on the market have each of the elements controlled at the same time as a single zone. In kilns with large cubic capacities, achieving an even temperature distribution within the firing chamber can be a problem. To help resolve this problem, some controllers split the kiln into zones, which are then controlled individually. Having this facility adds to the overall cost of the kiln.

Kiln Positioning

A kiln should be placed on a non-flammable surface (not wood or lino). Also allow at least 12” (30cm) gap around the kiln to allow heat to dissipate. Front-loading kilns should have at least 18” (45cm) space at the rear of the kiln for servicing or element changing. If this is not possible castors should always be fitted to allow the kiln to be moved easily for access. The floor should be checked before siting to ensure it is level. Always ensure the floor can take the weight of the kiln, this will normally only apply to front-loading kilns when they are not sited on the ground floor. The kiln controller (when connected to the kiln via a cable) should be mounted at a convenient height for access and to one side of the kiln. The controller should be easily accessed without the need to touch the fabric of the kiln. A kiln will always get hot in use; therefore nothing should be sited within touching distance of the kiln or placed on top of the kiln. It is also unwise to store any materials around a kiln.

Venting

Venting has come to the fore as an important health and safety concern. When firing, a kiln can emit gases from glazes that are being fired and carbon monoxide from the clay. If a kiln is being sited in a room such as a garage and air can flow freely in and out it may be decided that ventilation is adequate, especially if the room is not occupied at times when the kiln is fired. If a kiln is for a school, college or public institution it is almost certain that mechanical ventilation is necessary. The individual establishment should carry out a risk assessment and/or contact their local authority for advice. It should be noted that for a mechanical vent to work efficiently there must be an air inlet into the room and this should be sited on a wall opposite to the wall where the vent is sited. The air inlet is essential if a fire door is fitted to the kiln room. If a kiln is sited in a classroom an adequate barrier or cage should surround the kiln to prevent unauthorised or accidental contact with the kiln.

Other Expenses

When estimating the cost of a kiln, include the cost of kiln furniture (shelves and props to stack ware on different levels within the kiln). Generally one shelf will complete one layer, but as the kiln gets bigger a layer may be made up of two or more shelves. A few points to remember are:

• Ashelfshouldalwaysbeplacedonthebaseofthekilntoprotectthebricks.• Thelargestpiecescanbeplacedonthetopshelftoavoidunstablestacking.• Atleast1”ofspaceshouldbeleftbetweenwareandtheshelfabovetoallowforaircirculation.• Largeshelvescanbeheavyandunwieldy.• Largebottomedware,suchasplattersshouldnotbeplacedspanningtwohalfshelves.

Estimating Electric Kiln Firing Costs

An estimate of the cost of firing a kiln over an eight hour cycle using a cost of 6p per kW per hour can be calculated using the example below. Remember this is an estimation only, all kilns and firings are unique.

Costing your firing

A= Kilowatt rating of kiln (taken from the kiln’s data plate)B= Firing times in hours x 0.6 (since the kiln is only on full power towards the end of the firing cycle.)C= Cost per kilowatt/unit (taken from your electricity bill)

Example

A x B x C = 5.5kW x (8 x 0.6) x 6 = £1.58

Note: Controllers such as the ST315 can be programmed at installation with the kilowatts of the kiln and interrogated at the end of each firing to see an estimate of the number of units used for the last firing.

Installation

Always use a qualifed competent electrican or engineer.

Placing your ware

Always use the recommended size kiln shelves for the kiln you have.Ensure each shelf is supported well and is stableAlways place props directly over props on previous levelsAlways use a placing medium on kiln shelves (Placing Sand)Always allow 5cm between the ware and the kiln elements.When inter-stacking pieces in a bisque firing always place the heavier pieces at the bottom.Do not allow ware to touch in a glaze firingPlace your ware evenly throughout the firing chamberRemember to wipe the feet of glazed piecesUse stilts for ware that is glazed all over. (Note: You should never stilt stoneware)

Drying & Firing Cycles

Always ensure ware is dry prior to firing.Never try to fast fire a bisque firing.For ware that is even in thickness allow 100°C heat rise to 600°C in a bisque firing.From 600°C to 1000°C a much faster heat rise is possible.When the ware is thick or variable thickness reduce the initial heat rise to 60-80° per hour.For a glaze firing allow an initial heat rise of 100° per hour to 300°C approx.To mature your clay to ensure a glaze fit (no crackle lines in the glaze) you must ensure one of the firings (bisque or glaze) goes to the maturing temperature of the clay (see product details)Soaking or holding the maturing temperature of a firing for a pre-determined time can enhance the glaze appearance.Cooling should be done naturally.Do not open the kiln above 100°C

Practical Tips


13amp Plug & Fire Kilns

Kilns included in this section are with a mains cable and 13amp plug for connection to a standard 13amp socket.

Kilns with a greater capacity of 1 cubic foot will not always produce the same number of firings from a set of elements, accepting they are used for similar firings.

Consideration should always be given to the siting of these kilns. They should be placed on a fire retardent surface with at least 12” (300mm) of space around the kiln to allow heat to dissipate.

Kilns in this group can be used for the production of very small items such as beads etc. and can also be used as a test kiln.

Round Top-Loading Kilns

All kilns in this section are top-loading based on a round or oval shape. They can be used on a single or three phase supply. Single phase is the supply normally found in a domestic property, but requires a dedicated supply with a on/off (isolator) switch in room where the kiln is sited. The only similar appliance found in a house is an electric cooker, which is normally installed as a kiln is installed.

It is hould be noted that not all kilns are the same. Kiln is a generic term, kilns vary in specification just as cars vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and model to model.

All kilns we offer must meet a performance criteriia, but cheaper kilns may not be built as robustly or have accessories that make using them more conveneiently.. The build quality we refer to is that the guage of metal used to wrap the kilns may vary is one example. Some kiln uses gas struts to support when open and ensure opening the lid is easy. All top-loaders are fitted with castor wheels to make moving easy and all kilns are fitted with square harting sockets to enable kiln controllers to be connected to the kiln without specialist knowledge.

Harting Socket DIN Standard multi-pin socket

fitted to all models for easy connection of all controllers

Studio Round Top-Loading KilnsThe Studio Range of Top-Loading Kilns are built to an exacting

specification to ensure extended life. The bricks are individually selected and cut to a tight specification to ensure precision build every time. All bricks used within the construction are heavy duty reducing

the risk of cracking and wear at high temperatures. All models are fitted with heavy duty elements and “R” type thermocouples to ensure long

life. Gas struts are fitted as standard to the lids, which means effortless opening and closing of the kiln every time. The element specifications are carefully calculated, which ensures even temperature distribution

in every firing. The terminal housing is hinged to open completely, allowing easy access to all terminals. All models are fitted with large easi-roll castors to offer easy movement when required. All models

are delivered by a specialist team who will place your kiln exactly into position and then connect it to a suitable existing on/off switch before

demonstrating use of the kiln controller.

Rocket Raku Top-Loading Kilns

Coming soon is the Rappido Range of Raku Kilns. Based on the Rocket Range of kilns the Rappido is fibre lined, as opposed to the Rocket which is brick lined. All technical data is the same between the Rocket and Rappido Kilns

Kiln Controllers

Stafford Instruments manufacture a range of different Temperature Controllers. Broadly speaking their controllers can operate in ONE OR BOTH of two modes explained below:

Signal Mode: (ST31XA/ST32X and ST501A) In Signal Mode the controller provides a signal(s) to remote relay(s) or contactor(s) which is (are) normally located inside

the kiln casing. The Heavy Duty Relay or contactor switches the High Power to the Kiln Elements and not the relays mounted internally in the controller itself. Controllers operating a kiln in this mode are usually connected to the kiln via a controller

cable. This cable is normally a composite cable consisting of 10 cores. 2 of these cores are temperature compensated cores specifically for the thermocouple wiring. This specialised cable is not readily available. Stafford Instruments have it specially manufactured by one of the leading cable manufacturers in the United Kingdom. Most modern kilns have a socket mounted

on the kiln. This socket mates to an opposite gender plug which is fitted to the end of the controllers umbilical cable. The Standard type of Plug and socket used by the majority of Kiln Manufacturers is a Harting 7D 8Pin Square Type. A Minority

of Kiln Manufacturers use a CPC14 Pin Round Plug and socket. With the development of multi-zone controllers such as the ST325 and ST326 an upgraded type of plug and socket have to be used to cater for the additional wiring required. For multi-

zone controllers the Harting 15DX plug and sockets are used. Images of the different types are shown below:

What is a thermocouple sensor?

A thermocouple is a sensor used in conjunction with an indicator or programmable controller for measuring the temperature of a kiln. It consists of two dissimilar metals, joined together at one end. When the junction of the two metals is heated or cooled a voltage is produced that can be converted to temperature.

What are the different thermocouple types?

Thermocouples are available in different combinations of metals or calibrations to suit different applications. The three most common calibrations used for ceramics are K, R and S. K type is commonly used for temperatures up to 1100°C and R and S for temperatures up to 1300°C. R type has been the standard for UK ceramics, whereas S type is normally found on kilns being used in Europe. All our thermocouples are supplied with the sensors shielded in a porcelain sheath with the exception of the “K” type which is within a mineral insulated metal sheath.

Pyrometric cones measure heat-work (the effect of time and temperature). Pyrometric cones are slender pyramids made from about 100 carefully controlled compositions. Each cone number is unique in measuring temperature within a small temperature range (less than 30°C). Cones measure the amount of heat absorbed. As the cone nears its maturing range, it softens and the tip begins to bend, drawn down by the influence of gravity.

Care Of Kiln BattsKiln batts (shelves) may be supplied wet or damp. They are often cut using water in the process. Should a batt containing moisture be fired too quickly the water will turn to steam and can cause cracking or splitting. This is very similar to the problem of firing dry clay too fast. When purchasing any kiln furniture the pieces should be allowed to dry and then first fired in a bisque firing. We would recommend that the initial heat rise should not exceed 60-80°C per hour. This heat rise should be maintained up to 600°C. At this point all chemical and physical water should have been driven off.

Reference NotesEXAMPLE FIRING SCHEDULES

The following examples are offered as firing schedules that could be loaded into a controller to fire a kiln automatically. All schedules use two ramps as a simple starting point.

BISQUE FIRINGThe principle that must be observed when firing to convert dry clay to pottery is that the first stage must be taken slowly. The “Normal Bisque” firing would cover ware that is thrown or hand built but with an even section. Large or thick pieces could be fired on the “Slow Bisque” firings.

Reference NotesMISCELLANEOUS FIRINGS

Note 1

Some controllers allow a delay to be input and also a dwell or soak at the end of the firing. These have been deliberately left at zero and can be added to suit the individual user. Two stage controllers vary on the second stage. Some allow a temperature rise to be entered, others operate a full power only and some allow a heat rise or have the equivalent of full power. If a temperature rise has to be set in the second ramp, try 250°C. This will allow the kiln to work at full power, but will probably show a decreasing heat rise over the hours as the kiln naturally slows nearer the higher temperatures.

Note 2

It has been found that kiln controllers give greater heat work as the temperature increases. Therefore to achieve a stoneware firing of cone 8-9 we suggest setting the cut-off temperature to 1235°C. A slight adjustment can then be made after the first firing. It should be remembered that indicators (pyrometers) or kiln controllers are indicators of temperature and the effects of faster or slower firings can cause extreme variations in the end result. This is known within ceramics as “heatwork”. Cones are measures of heatwork and it is strongly recommended that cones are always used in conjunction with kiln controllers to appreciate the differences between heatwork and temperature indicated by a controller. Stoneware firings will always demonstrate the greatest potential differences between heatwork and indicated temperature.

Note 3

Kilns supplied for the craft, hobby and education market will often give 1300°C as the maximum temperature the kiln will work to. The manufacturer’s mean 1300°C (Cone 10). If 1300°C were put into a controller as the cut-off temperature the kiln would overfire and it probably result in irreparable damage to the kiln

Care Of Kiln Batts

Kiln batts (shelves) may be supplied wet or damp. They are often cut using water in the process. Should a batt containing moisture be fired too quickly the water will turn to steam and can cause cracking or splitting. This is very similar to the problem of firing dry clay too fast. When purchasing any kiln furniture the pieces should be allowed to dry and then first fired in a bisque firing. We would recommend that the initial heat rise should not exceed 60-80°C per hour. This heat rise should be maintained up to 600°C. At this point all chemical and physical water should have been driven off.

Stilts - Ceramic or Metal Pointed

Stilts are only for use in earthenware firings and with clays that are not designed to vitrify. If used in stoneware firings the metal points will soften and deform and that clays that vitrify will also deform. The ceramic stilts are designed as a dispoable item, but it should be possible to gain greater use from them if the points are “dressed” with batt wash prior to placing your ware on them. Metal pointed stilts are designed for multiple use.

DELIVERY ADDRESS (IF APPLICABLE)

PLEASE NOTE: Your order cannot be fully processed until the completed questionnaire is returned to us. A final price for delivery is based on information within this questionnaire. Unless you wish to collect, we will deliver the kiln using our own transport and notify you of the delivery date in due course. Please note our responsibility ends with the delivery of the kiln to the address specified. Delivery of kilns or equipment is often the aspect that is neglected the most. You must be aware how your kiln will arrive and what you may be responsible for. If your front-loading kiln arrives on a pallet weighing over 250kg and the delivery company leaves it on your drive, how do you get it on the ground and into position. We would like to make all customers aware of what is included in the three services we offer.

PALLET DELIVERYThe service can be applied to the delivery of top-loading kilns and wheels or any piece of equipment with external dimensions no greater than a metre square. The equipment is strapped to a pallet and delivered by means of a lorry with a tail lift. These vehicles normally have a pallet truck that can be used to manoeuvre the pallet on flat ground, but it must be appreciated that the price given is to deliver to site and off-load. It is the customer’s responsibility to remove the kiln or equipment from the pallet and move into position. Nabertherm Kilns are delivered by DHL pallet delivery service. The drivers will only off-load to the nearest convenient point.

DELIVER, OFF-LOAD INTO POSITIONThis is more of a tailored service and covers all sizes and shapes of equipment. Again, it is delivered by vehicle with a tail-lift. The vehicles will always have a pallet truck and the driver will off-load and move the equipment into position. A survey is requested to give the carrier information on the surfaces and site to be encountered. This service can negotiate one step of no more than 4”, but cannot easily deliver heavy equipment on uneven or soft terrain. For large or relatively unstable equipment assistance is requested from the customer. A completed kiln delivery questionnaire is required before delivery prices can be confirmed. This service is not available to all UK locations.

NORTHERN KILNS SPECIAL DELIVERYThis service is unique to Northern Kilns (Chieftain Round and Oval, Champion and Rocket Kilns, and is only provided for this manufacturer’s kilns. They deliver and off-load into situ negotiating no more than one step. They will install the kiln to a suitable isolator (switch)if applicable and if it is situated within 2 metres of the kiln. They will also instruct on use of the controllers supplied with their kilns. A completed kiln delivery questionnaire is required before delivery prices can be confirmed.

DELIVERY IS MADE ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE CHOSEN SITE AND ACCESS HAS THE APPROVAL OF YOUR ARCHITECT/BUILDER/ELECTRICIAN RELATIVE TO THE STANDARD AND TYPE OF BUILDING ETC. IF WE CONSIDER IT IMPOSSIBLE TO PLACE THE KILN IN THE POSITION SELECTED, OUR RESPONSIBILITY ENDS WITH THE DELIVERY OF THE KILN TO YOUR DOOR. SHOULD WE NEED TO RETURN AT A LATER DATE, TO ASSIST WITH INSTALLATION AND OR TEST THE KILN, ADDITIONAL COST WILL BE INCURRED.

SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY DIFFICULTIES WITH ANY OF THE CONDITIONS STIPULATED OR IN COMPLETING THE ENCLOSED QUESTIONNAIRE PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT US.
