How to Remodel a Corner Fireplace

Clean the brick on the fireplace with your brush to remove all dust and debris.

Wash the brick around the fireplace with your rag, mild detergent and water. This ensures a clean working surface. Allow the bricks to dry before applying stain to them.

Remove the outer glass panel from side of the corner fireplace. Gently pull the glass out of its designated area with your hands. Repeat for the other glass panel. Set the glass panels on a flat surface to prevent it from possibly breaking or injury.

Insert new glass panels into the slots you removed the old glass panels according to the manufacturer's directions. Glass panels come in a variety of styles including clear or etched glass.

Remove the old screen from your corner fireplace and attach a new one according to the manufacturer's directions.

Stain the bricks around the fireplace with stain and a rag. Stain comes in a variety of colors allowing you to change the appearance of the bricks. Open windows in the room for proper ventilation.

Place a new log holder on the floor next to your corner fireplace.

Install a vent fan in your corner fireplace according to the manufacturer's directions. This allows the smoke and air to circulate safely.

Install the trim around the corner fireplace on your wall. Hold a piece of trim in place with your hands and secure it to the wall with finishing nails and your hammer. Repeat until all trim pieces are installed.
