Evenheat GTS 28

The Evenheat GTS 28 is one of the largest models in the GTS line, offering expansive firing capacity and professional-grade precision for serious glass studios. Designed to accommodate a full 24" x 24" shelf, this kiln delivers the performance needed for wide-format glasswork, from fusing and slumping to casting, draping, and painting—at temperatures up to 1800°F.

Blending a lightweight, rapid-heating fiber lid with firebrick walls and floor for thermal mass and smooth annealing, the GTS 28 combines the best kiln construction materials in a clean, efficient design. Now equipped with Quiet Drive Solid State Relays as standard and paired with advanced touchscreen control options, it provides the reliability and control glass artists expect from Evenheat.

Why Artists Choose the GTS 28:

Generous Firing Area, Studio-Friendly Form
The GTS 28 offers expansive interior dimensions for large-scale projects while maintaining an accessible loading height and clean studio aesthetic. It’s ideal for those needing more capacity without jumping to the size of the GTS 41.

Hybrid Build for Superior Performance
The fiber lid ensures fast heat-up times and minimal debris. The firebrick body provides the thermal mass necessary for stable temperature ramps and calm annealing—perfect for intricate and layered projects.

Smart Venting & Safety
The two-position lid vent enables better control during cool-down and off-gassing, while the power interrupt switch provides added safety for mid-fire access.

Intuitive, Adjustable Controls
With the Swing View Adjustable Enclosure, you can tilt the touchscreen controller for easy programming and then lower it flat for visibility across the studio. Works especially well with TAP II, Icon+, and Icon controls.

Quiet Drive Solid State Relays – Now Standard
Evenheat’s Quiet Drive SSR system is silent, reliable, and requires no regular maintenance—eliminating the failures and noise associated with mechanical relays, and providing smoother firing holds and extended element life.

Easy Maintenance with Relay Access Port
Need to replace a relay? The GTS 28 makes it simple. Just unscrew the access port—no panel removal, no tangled wiring, just quick and easy service when needed.

Controller Options:

Choose from four powerful controller options:

• TAP II – Wi-Fi enabled, full-featured touchscreen

• Icon / Icon+ – Simplified and intuitive touchscreens

All options include a Special Limits thermocouple for precision and non-metallic faceplates for improved Wi-Fi reception and durability.

Optional Mobility – Rolling Base Add-On:

The GTS 28 base is pre-configured for caster installation. Whether you want to make your kiln mobile now or later, it’s easy to attach wheels—no extra frames or adapters required.
