Firelace Glass Doors with Heat Circulting Blower - Project #20127

Customer Comments: Good morning, Was looking to get a glass door front with a heat exchanger for this fireplace. Can you help me?

Our Comments: We can certainly help you with this. Here are some examples representing different materials and price ranges to consider. Each of these doors can be burned with the doors closed, which is necessary to get the most out of the heater. Those with tempered glass can handle constant temperatures from 400F-500F. Pyro Ceramic glass is much more expensive, but can handle sustained temperatures around 1200F.

Fireplace Opening: 34 1/2" W x 26 5/8" H

Affordable Aluminum Doors

Aluminum is an excellent material for fireplace doors because it does not rust and can handle high temperatures when treated with powder coated finishes. It is also the most affordable.

Heavy Duty Grate Heater

The Grate Heater is made from much heavier materials and has an insulated fan that fits inside the fireplace rather than on the hearth for a more desireable finished look. An theremostat is included so the fan will come on automatically at 110F and turn off when the temperature falls below 90F. This way you can leave the fire to die out and still benefit from the heat without worrying about turning off the fan in the middle of the night.

Glass Door Mesh Options

If you are planning on burning anything in your fireplace, you need to have mesh behind the glass so you can burn a fire with the doors open. You can chooe between gate mesh backup doors and sliding mesh curtains. Functionally, gate mesh performs the best as the wire has smaller holes that sparks cannot get through. Aesthetically, mesh curtains may be preferred because they do not have a vertical center frame that obstructs the view of the fire. When you are not using the fire or you want a complete unobstructed view, they do not stick out like gate mesh doors when they are opened.

We are showing these options on a flat steel bifold door with a satin brass overlay and gray glass.
