Gas or wood for your corner fireplace

For a corner gas fireplace, compare gas options using natural gas or propane. Direct vent fireplaces have a glass front and sealed piping outside, without using room air. Vent-free fireplaces need no vent pipe and keep nearly all heat indoors. Check local code first.

A corner wood burning fireplace needs a chimney. Explore wood burning options with an open front for the hearth experience or sealed glass doors for more heat.

Size, depth and look

Match your corner space to widths from 24 to 60 inches. Some shallow gas units need only about 16 inches of wall depth, which helps in a tight corner. Compare log set details and realistic flames for a timeless look. Clean-face fronts let tile or stone reach the glass. Explore multi-sided designs for views through two or three sides, then consider mantels and shelves.

No gas line or chimney?

Consider a wall mounted electric fireplace instead. There are no electric units in this collection.

FAQ

Are corner fireplaces a good idea?

Yes, especially when you have no long open wall. They leave flat walls free for furniture, windows and the TV, with views from more of the room. Shallow gas units take little floor space. The trade-off is a smaller mantel and hearth, and the framing takes some planning.

Can you put a gas fireplace in a corner?

Yes. Your builder frames a box across the corner at an angle. Direct vent piping goes through the wall or roof; B-vent piping goes straight up. Vent-free needs no pipe. Ask us to check the model’s manual for permitted corner framing, venting and clearances.

Gas or wood for a corner fireplace?

Gas offers button or remote ignition and needs a gas line, with venting varying by model. Wood gives real logs and crackle with a chimney, open for looks or sealed for heat. Both need corner framing. Without gas or a chimney, consider wall mounted electric.

Will a corner fireplace make it hard to arrange the furniture?

It can, since the unit uses part of two walls. Plan seating before choosing the width. Try angling one chair toward the fire instead of the sofa. The long wall stays free for your TV and sofa. Sketch your room and call us if you’re unsure.
