Customer Comments: Glass Doors, Screen and Blower: W 46 3/4" x H 33 7/8" Mat black. Design similar to the free standing screen in the photo.
Our Comments: In order to make the Airculator work with a fireplace this large we will need to add a steel surround trim to reduce the size of the opening. Here are a couple examples of how that might look with and without a diamond patterned door.
Fireplace Opening: 46 3/4" W x 33 7/8" 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: Design Specialties Brookfield Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with 5" Surround and Airculator Heat Circulating Blower.
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 #2: Design Specialties Legend Fireplace Glass Door in Forged Iron with Custom Diamond Pattern. Shown with 5" Rustic Black Surround Trim and Airculator Heat Circulating Blower.
The surround trim will be 5" wide with an overall size of 53W x 37H and a cutout size of 43W x 33H for the door. There will be a 2" return inside the opening for a mortar backing.
Surround Trim: Design Specialties 5" Wide Surround Trim in Rustic Black.

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.
