Question 1

Are Nabertherm kilns good?

Accepted Answer

Nabertherm is a German kiln manufacturer with a 75+ year track record, and its kilns are widely used by ceramics studios, schools, universities and industrial users across Europe. The Top and N-Series models pair a robust build with the AC590 touch controller for accurate, repeatable firing programmes across earthenware, stoneware, glass and on-glaze work.

Question 2

Where are Nabertherm kilns made?

Accepted Answer

Nabertherm kilns are designed and built in Germany. The company has been manufacturing kilns and furnaces for more than 75 years.

Question 3

Which Nabertherm kiln is best for a home studio?

Accepted Answer

For most UK home potters a Top 45 or Top 60 is the sweet spot - enough capacity for earthenware and most stoneware production in a compact toploading footprint. The Nabertherm 45L Home Kiln is the most-asked-about plug-in model because it runs on a standard 13A socket and fits a domestic studio.

Question 4

Do Nabertherm kilns need special wiring?

Accepted Answer

The smaller Top kilns such as the Top 45 and Top 60 run on a standard 13A plug with no installation. Larger studio kilns - Top 100, Top 130 and the N-Series front-loaders - typically need 16A or 32A wiring, which should be installed and signed off by a Part P-registered electrician.
