Glass Doors with Blower for Masonry Fireplace - Project #20796

Customer Comments: This is an original fire place with a wide damper. We need a blower to push heat into the house. Also it needs to be enclosed, so that we can see the fire but it blocks accidental access to the fire so that kids can't reach into it while its burning. Front: 38", Back 23.5", Deep 28.5" , Tall 25.25"

Our Comments: There are two blower systems, the Airculator and Grate Heater. The Grate Heater is more heavy duty and requires special doors with a minimal subframe, since the motor is inside right at the front of the opening. I have provided mockups showing both types of heaters with doors that are appropriate for each model. You will want ceramic glass in order to burn fires with the doors closed and take full advantage of the heater.

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: 38" W (Front) x 23 1/2" W (Back) x 25 1/4" H x 28 1/2" D

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.
