Customer Comments: Good morning, I am interested in purchasing fireplace doors and would like to see some ideas you can design. I would like to have a blower to get more heat into the room, glass and steel doors with a traditional black iron look with the grate curtain. I am also looking to have the doors seal for when the fireplace is not in use. The actual opening dims inside edge of angle are 47" wide x 34-1/2" tall with 3" angle iron on 3 sides bringing outside dims to 53" wide x 37-1/2" tall with outside leg of angle pointing into fireplace. Top angle sits on the outside of upright angles. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.
Our Comments: Looks like the Airculator HE15101 heat circulating system will work great with your fireplace, although it does not extend further than the 3" angle trim, so about 1" of that trim will show around the door frame. Here are examples of how it might look with glass doors in 3 different quality ranges that can be burned with the doors closed. The Tight Fitting doors in Option #3 will provide the best seal when the doors are closed.
Fireplace Opening: 47" W x 34 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.

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.
