Glass Doors with Blower for Large Brick Fireplace - Project #11389

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
