Creating a low-profile surround to hide any gap between your gas fireplace insert and the existing fireplace opening is a great idea both for aesthetics and safety. Here are the steps to create such a surround using steel or cast iron:

Materials Needed:

1. Steel or Cast Iron Panels: You'll need steel or cast iron panels to create the surround. These can often be custom-made to fit your fireplace insert and existing opening. You can also look for pre-made panels that might fit your dimensions.

2. Measuring Tools: Measure the dimensions of the existing fireplace opening and the gas fireplace insert carefully to ensure a snug fit for the surround.

3. Cutting Tools: Depending on the material and design, you may need cutting tools to shape the panels to the desired dimensions.

4. Hardware: You'll need screws, bolts, or other fasteners to attach the surround to the fireplace insert and the existing fireplace structure.

5. Safety Equipment: Safety glasses, gloves, and other protective gear should be used when working with materials and tools.
