KILN SHIELD
Protect Your Kiln. Preserve Your Craft.
Did you know most top-loading kilns are made with fragile K23 soft brick—so delicate it can crumble like a graham cracker?
Every time you lean in to load or unload your pottery, you're wearing down that soft brick. The top edge of your kiln—where you rest arms, place kiln shelves, or shift your work—is the first to break down.
Repairs aren’t cheap. Replacing the top row of brick can cost $400–$800 each time, not to mention lost firing time.
Kiln Shield is the simple, effective solution that protects your kiln’s most vulnerable area—extending the life of your kiln and saving you hundreds in repairs. It’s easy to install, doesn’t interfere with firings, and is trusted by potters who want to protect their investment.
The Standard KilnShield is an essential kiln accessory designed to protect delicate firebrick, distribute body weight evenly, and ensure a tight, clean lid-to-brick seal—helping to extend the life of your kiln and prevent costly repairs. As the manufacturer-recommended solution, KilnShield is trusted by ceramic artists, educators, and studio technicians across the country.
This durable, ergonomic tool safeguards a 3-brick section from the friction and compression damage that often occurs during loading and unloading. The soft silicone top layer cushions clothing and reduces wear, while the angled design makes reaching into deep kilns easier—minimizing back strain and fatigue.
The Standard KilnShield is lightweight, easy to use, and simple to store.

How Kilnshield Works
KilnShield protects the most vulnerable part of your kiln — the top layer of soft brick. By creating a smooth, load-bearing surface, it prevents wear from loading, unloading, and body weight. Just set it in place and fire as usual.
Simple to install. Zero interference with your firing. Maximum peace of mind.
Standard vs. Deluxe
Standard KilnShield:
Protects a 3-brick wide area. Ideal for home studios, small-scale artists, and light to moderate kiln use.
Deluxe KilnShield:
Covers a 6-brick wide zone for broader protection. Perfect for schools, shared studios, or frequent firings with heavier loads.
Why Brick Damage Matters
The soft firebrick lining your kiln is delicate — especially the top row that meets the lid. Cracks, chipping, and wear lead to poor heat sealing, energy loss, and expensive repairs.
KilnShield preserves your kiln’s integrity and extends its life — no more costly service calls or inefficient firings.
