2.2 POSITIONING OF KILNS IN A SCHOOL ROOM
When the kiln is situated in a school room or any other environment where people who are
not intimately familiar with the hazards of an operational kiln are exposed to the kiln, it is
recommended that the kiln has a barrier with a lockable gate around the outside to stop
anyone from touching the kiln during operation (Tetlow can supply).
SECTION 3 - VENTILATION OF ELECTRIC KILNS
It is recommended that kilns be fitted with a powered ventilation system, which can be provided
by Tetlow. The ventilation dilution system removes the by-products from the clay and glazes,
which could impact on the life of your kiln, and of other objects in the area around the kiln. The
dilution air system also lowers the temperature in the exhaust, which allows PVC pipe to be
used.
Adequate ventilation around the kiln is essential - make sure that the kiln is situated in an area
where there is at least some natural ventilation to the outside of the building (a window or
doorway grill).
Tetlow Kilns & Furnaces can visit sites to recommend positioning and ventilation system of
electric kilns.
