Glass Doors with Blower for White Painted Rock Fireplace - Project #20827

Customer Comments: Stone fireplace. 28.5" height x 40-41" width(some stones stick out further than others) Need a door or insert and a blower/articulator/circulator

Our Comments: Below are several ways to treat your fireplace with glass doors and a heat exchanger with a blower. Because the fireplace floor drops down inside, you may need to add some bricks to the bottom to raise the heat exchanger up to where it is level with the hearth. The glass doors can be fit inside the opening and the gaps filled with mortar, or overlapping the opening, providing the stones are not too irregular. That is to be determined. Ceramic glass is recommended to allow for burning fires with the doors closed, which improves the efficiency of the heat exchanger.

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.

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.

High End Hand Forged Wrought Iron Doors

Hand forged by a blacksmith from 1/4" thick solid wrought iron, these are the most heavy duty gasket sealed glass doors. They are commonly ordered with ceramic glass for those who wish to build fires with the doors closed while using a heat exchanger. Not only are these heavy duty doors built to be used, they take on a more rugged natural look for those who appreciate craftsmanship and tasteful details only available through the hand forging process.

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.
