Atlanta Clay is proud to carry L&L Kilns! Their ceramic kilns are some of the most economical and reliable models on the market. Their motto is - “dedicated to making the most durable ceramic kilns in the world” and we at Atlanta Clay love our L&L’s for that! Cause we know you need a kiln that not only fires perfectly every time but will keep firing perfectly for a long time.
What makes a L&L last so long? They have a patented hard ceramic element holder – so your elements don’t stretch out over time and droop – causing misfires and costly parts replacement. Below are three points from L&L Kiln Manufacturers regarding the use of element holders:
1 PROTECT SOFT FIREBRICK: The hard ceramic element holders protect the soft fragile firebrick. Replacing elements repeatedly does not damage the brick. Elements don’t sag or fall out of broken grooves. You do not need metal pins to hold elements into broken grooves. Customers often say their L&L kilns look new after 30 years of hard use!
2 SMOOTH HARD SURFACE: Ceramic element holders have a smooth, hard surface which allows the elements to expand and contract freely. No loose brick particles will fall in the kiln and ruin ware. Your elements will last longer because elements do not get easily snagged, bunched-up, and burned-out. It is harder for glaze, clay particles and firebrick to touch and damage elements.
3 TRANSMITS HEAT BETTER: The thin, dense wall of the holders reflects the infrared heat into the kiln. Elements operate at a lower temperature relative to the internal kiln temperature. L&L kilns require less firebrick insulation to be cut out which increases insulating ability, energy efficiency and strength of the kiln.
Below are a few of the L&L Kilns Atlanta Clay carries – but remember we can special order any size kiln you need. Not sure which kiln is best for you? Give us a call – we’re happy to walk you through any questions you might have.
