Scan 5107 FR & FL Corner Wood Burning Fireplace Insert

Scan 5107 FR & FL Corner Wood Burning Fireplace Insert — Angled Glass, Timeless Design

The best fireplace inserts do two things well — they heat a room efficiently and they look good doing it. The Scan 5107 corner wood burning fireplace insert does both with a quiet confidence that few inserts in its class can match. With two-sided angled glass, a single-lever air control, and a powerful 9.1kW output, it gives you the warmth and visual presence of an open fireplace without any of the inefficiency. Scan offers the 5107 in two mirror-image versions, so you can choose the glazing direction that works best for your room.

FR or FL — Choosing the Right Configuration

The only difference between the two models is the direction of the angled side glass. The 5107 FR carries glass on the front and the right side, making it the right choice when the open aspect of your corner faces right as you look at the fireplace. The 5107 FL, on the other hand, carries glass on the front and the left side — ideal when your room opens up to the left instead. Because both models share identical dimensions, weight, output, and all other specifications, your choice comes down entirely to which direction suits your space.

Both models use a top flue exit, so factor that in early when planning your chimney or flue system. Getting this confirmed with your installer at the outset makes the whole installation process much smoother.

Angled Glass That Opens Up the Flame View

What sets the Scan 5107 apart from other two-sided inserts is the angle of its glass. Rather than meeting at a sharp 90-degree corner, the side panel joins the front glass at a gentler angle — creating a more flowing, open feel that brings the flame view much closer to the sensation of sitting beside a real open fire. As a result, the 5107 feels warmer and more inviting than its dimensions alone suggest.

Furthermore, a clean black frame around the glass and a beautifully considered handle complete the look without adding visual clutter. Everything about this insert feels deliberate and well-resolved — which is exactly what you would expect from a product built in Denmark by Scan.

Powerful Output, Simple to Use

The Scan 5107 delivers a nominal output of 9.1kW — one of the highest figures in the Scan insert range — making it well suited to larger living rooms and open-plan spaces that need a serious heat source. Alongside that strong output, its efficiency rating of 80% means you draw reliable warmth from every load of logs you put in.

In terms of everyday use, Scan kept things refreshingly simple. A single lever controls the air intake, so managing the burn requires no more than one adjustment. On top of that, the 5107 accepts logs up to 50cm in length, giving you good flexibility when sourcing firewood. Both models hold an A energy label and sit comfortably within Ecodesign standards.

Versatile Enough for Corners and Central Installations

Although the 5107 suits corner installations particularly well, Scan built enough flexibility into the design for it to work just as effectively in a central position — for instance, as a feature wall installation where the angled glass adds depth and interest from multiple viewing angles. Because of this, it suits a broader range of room layouts than a fixed-corner insert typically would.
