Quartz Ceramic Kiln Furniture for High-Temperature Firing and Durability

What is Quartz Ceramic Kiln Furniture and Why Choose Gotrays

Quartz ceramic kiln furniture refers to high-purity, fused silica-based supports used inside kilns during the firing of ceramics. These components—like shelves, posts, and setters—provide stable, reliable platforms to hold ceramic pieces at high temperatures without deforming or contaminating the products. Their thermal shock resistance and low thermal mass make them ideal for demanding ceramic processes such as tableware, sanitaryware, and technical ceramics.

At Gotrays, we specialize in precision-engineered quartz kiln furniture designed for maximum performance in industrial and artisanal settings. Our products stand out because of their superior material purity (over 99% SiO2), carefully optimized thermal properties, and customizable sizes to fit your specific kiln model. Unlike generic refractory kiln furniture, Gotrays offers:

• Consistent thermal shock resistance tested to 1400°C
• Robust mechanical strength with flexible design options
• Full US-based support and fast lead times for prototyping and customization

Choosing Gotrays means you get kiln furniture built to reduce firing defects, improve throughput, and integrate seamlessly into your existing workflow.
