Project #10891 - Glass Doors for Heatilator Fireplace
Customer Comments: I have a zero clearance Heatilator fireplace and I would like to purchase bifold doors (4-panel) attached to a frame. Design proposal and estimate.
Our Comments: We can make doors that fit inside the opening, or doors that cover the entire black facing with their own louvers. Here are some examples.
Fireplace Opening: 42" W x 19 1/2" H
Note: These mock-ups are not to scale and are meant to help you choose the model of your screen or door, not the finish. Although we may create a general representation of black, iron, bronze, gold and silver tones, you must choose your finish from our samples using the links below. Ask your project manager which samples apply to the items in your project.

Before:
Low End 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.
Option #1: Stiletto ZC Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black. This door fits inside the opening.
Medium Range Steel Doors
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: Legend ZC Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black. This door is designed to overlap the opening and has wider sides to hide the fireplace label and internal black metal.
Option #3A: Legend ZC Deluxe Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Slotted Louvers and Cutout for Damper Lever.
Option #3B: Legend ZC Deluxe Fireplace Glass Door in Stainless Steel with Slotted Louvers and Cutout for Damper Lever.
Option #3C: Legend ZC Deluxe Fireplace Glass Door in Rustic Black with Custom Louver Pattern and Cutout for Damper Lever.
Alternatives to Glass Doors
Sometimes glass doors are not the solution for dressing up a prefabricated heat circulating fireplace like this. The options below are designed to flatter the mantel and hide the fireplace while still providing excellent spark protection.
Option #4: Carolina Free Standing Screen Door in Rustic Black with Banded Scroll Pattern.
Option #6A: 1P10M Solid Brass Fireplace Screen with Reed and Ribbon Casting Trim in Old English. Shown with Matching AR-AN16 Marseilles Andirons.
Option #6B: 1P10M Solid Brass Fireplace Screen. Same as above but in Pewter finish.
Option #7: TDF33-ORN-13 Solid Brass 3-Fold Fireplace Screen Door with Fleur De Lis Ornaments in Antique Brass.

Mesh & Insulation Options
The Mesh options are behind the glass so you can burn the fire with the doors open and still have spark protection. Great for real wood or gas logs since most gas long manufacturers insist that you have a screen in front of the logs when they are burning. Mesh panel doors are the most popular and are best for when there are toddlers present because they will not open backwards whereas the mesh screens are easily pushed in. Insulation goes between the back of the frame and the fireplace facing, providing a better seal.
Black Mesh Curtains - These slide back and forth on a rod behind the glass
Gate Mesh Doors - These are separate doors behind the glass that have a flat wire mesh and a black frame.
Insulation: Provides a better seal between the fireplace face and the door frame.
