Fireplace Glass Doors with Heat Circulator - Project #20692

Customer Comments: Looking for a fireplace door with a blower kit, something simple, not looking for spend a ton of money just get more use out of the fireplace, something similar to the one on your homepage i have attached, maybe a dark bronze finish or black, attached are dimensions of the firebox

Our Comments: There are two heat circulators available, one is heavy duty, the other less expensive. Both should be used with ceramic glass in order to burn fires with the doors closed and maximize the efficiency. Below are mockups of both types.

Tempered vs Ceramic Glass: Tempered glass can handle sustained temperatures up to about 450F without breaking from heat and should be at least 8" from the flames. Ceramic glass can handle temperatures up to about 1450F and can have direct contact with the flames. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, I highly recommend upgrading to ceramic glass.

Fireplace Opening: 32" W (Front) x 24" W (Back) x 25" H x 22" D

Affordable Aluminum Doors with Airculator

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.
