Customer Comments: Glass fireplace with blower. Fireplace opening is 39" x25 1/2"
Our Comments: Below are examples of glass doors in various materials and price ranges shown with the Heavy Duty Grate Heater. I also included one with the Airculator as the least expensive option. Any of the doors shown with the Grate Heater can be used with the Airculator. The heat exchangers work best with ceramic glass so you can close the doors and maximize the efficiency.
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: 39" W x 25 1/2" H
Before:
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.
Option #1: PW Breckenridge Aluminum Bifold Fireplace Door in Black with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Mesh Curtains. Shown with Airculator Heat Exchanger.
Option #2: PW Creekside Aluminum Bifold Fireplace Door in Black with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors. Shown with Heavy Duty Grate Heater.
Steel doors are more substantial than the less expensive aluminum doors. They are heavy duty and rugged and are more customizable because the frames are laser cut.
Option #3: Elegant Steel Cabinet Fireplace Door in Black with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors. Shown with Heavy Duty Grate Heater.
Option #4: Hearth Creations Flat Steel Cabinet Fireplace Glass Door with Scroll Design in Charcoal. Shown with Heavy Duty Grate Heater.
Hand forged by a blacksmith from 1/4" thick solid wrought iron, these are the most heavy duty glass doors. They are gasket sealed as well, making them the best choice for use with the blowers when burning fires with the doors closed (with ceramic glass). Not only are these built to be used, they take on a more rugged natural look for those who appreciate craftsmanship and tasteful details.
Option #5: Hand Crafted Pacifico Wrought Iron Gasket Sealed Cabinet Fireplace Door in Burnished Black with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors. Shown with Heavy Duty Grate Heater.
Option #6: Hand Crafted Wrought Iron Gasket Sealed Cabinet Fireplace Door with Craftsman Detail in Distressed Natural Iron with Tempered or Ceramic Glass and Gate Mesh Backup Doors. Shown with 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.

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.
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 sustained temperatures up to about 1450F and be in direct contact with the flames. If you wish to burn fires with the doors closed, I highly recommend upgrading to ceramic glass. Ceramic glass is $800-$2000 more than tempered glass depending on the manufacturer.
Not all doors are available with all of these glass options.
