Kiln Shelves are available in 8, 10 and 12-sided shapes to fit in most top
loading electric kilns (full and half) and are the only silicon carbide
shelves tested and recommended for use in resistance coil element kilns. At only 5/16-inch thick, these shelves allow
for significantly more stacking space when compared to conventional 5/8-inch
and 1-inch-thick cordierite kiln shelves.At less than
half the weight of conventional shelves, Advancer kiln shelves are far easier
to handle and lift in and out of the kiln with less stress to your hands and

extremely low porosity of Advancer (less than1%) vs. conventional silicon
carbide (18% typical) and cordierite (30% typical). It is true that there is much less of a
tendency for glaze to penetrate into or stick onto the Advancer surface. Nevertheless, it is still possible for glaze
to react with the protective oxide glass surface of our Kiln shelves. Especially
at higher temperatures, and bond onto the Advancer surface. Glaze drips are usually easily removed without
grinding because extremely low porosity of Advancer. ON the other hand, glazes that volatilize at
temperature, leaving a fine mist of glaze on the shelf may require light grinding
or sanding for complete removal.
