Glory Holes

next slide

As a professional glass artist, your interests lie in making art. Our glory holes are designed with ease of operations and maintenance in mind. The result is a very efficient, durable machine that will give you years of service. For ease and safety in igniting the burners, we drill a 1/2” pilot hole under the main burner. Heat retention rings are made in four pieces, to facilitate easy change-outs. The lining is 2800F insulated fire bricks, staggered and mortared for structure, and the 2” ceramic fiber backup insulation is packed dry to give high insulating value.

Our glory holes are approximately 1.6 times as deep as their inside diameter, which provides an ideal heat range throughout the glory hole and gives lots of room for tall pieces and deep reheats. The center height is adjustable from 34” to 36”, the most ergonomic height range for lifting and turning. Our unique round burners are as quiet as ribbon burners and are included in the price of the glory hole. Glory hole door opener included.

The ideal size is about 2” larger than the diameter of the largest piece of glass that will be made in the glory hole. Consider our double ended glory hole if you know you’ll have a constant need for two glory holes, as the initial cost is much less than two separate glory holes.
