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.
Deluxe KilnShield is designed to protect fragile fire brick, disburse body weight evenly, and ensure a clean lid-to-brick seal. By using KilnShield, you can avoid costly damage and repairs, plus it is the manufacturer-recommended solution for preserving the life of your important investment.
Deluxe KilnShield's ergonomic design protects a 6 brick area from the pressure and friction damage that commonly occurs when loading and unloading your work. Easy to use design makes loading easier - and with less back strain. The soft silicone top layer also protects clothing from damage. Easy to store by hanging on the wall.

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.
