Modern Flames Electric Fireplaces

Shop Modern Flames electric fireplaces, including the Orion and Landscape Pro series in linear, three-sided, and traditional configurations. Modern Flames focuses on contemporary built-in installations, with multi-sided models that open the fireplace to two or three rooms or viewing angles.

Modern Flames Electric Fireplaces

Modern Flames builds electric fireplaces for contemporary architecture, and the lineup reflects that: long linear formats, slim-depth fireboxes for tight framing, and multi-sided models that turn a fireplace into a room divider or corner feature. The Orion series anchors the range and spans traditional 26-inch openings up to 120-inch three-sided installations, while Landscape Pro covers linear and multi-sided built-ins in a range of widths. Because these are electric, a three-sided installation doesn't require the venting engineering that the same configuration would demand in gas — which is a large part of why designers reach for them.

Why Buy a Modern Flames Electric Fireplace

  • Three-sided and multi-sided models create peninsula and corner installations that are difficult and expensive to achieve with gas.
  • Linear formats available in very long widths for feature walls and large open spaces.
  • Slim-depth fireboxes fit framing cavities too shallow for most built-in fireplaces.
  • Both built-in fireboxes and drop-in inserts available, covering new construction and retrofit projects.

What to Consider When Buying

  • Choose your configuration first. A single-sided linear unit, a three-sided peninsula, and a traditional front-view firebox all require different framing and finishing approaches.
  • Verify your available wall cavity depth against the model's specifications before framing, especially if you're working within an existing wall.
  • Multi-sided models are viewed from more than one angle, so plan the surrounding finish material on every visible face.
  • Confirm the electrical requirement. Larger units and higher heat output models commonly require a dedicated circuit.
  • If you're retrofitting an existing masonry fireplace, look at the insert versions rather than the built-in fireboxes.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What's the difference between the Orion and Landscape Pro series?

    Both are contemporary built-in lines, but they differ in range and format. Orion spans the widest set of configurations, from traditional 26-inch fronts to very long multi-sided installations. Landscape Pro concentrates on linear and multi-sided built-ins, including slim-depth versions for shallow framing. Compare the specific dimensions and depth requirements of the models you're considering, since that's usually what decides it.

  • What does a three-sided electric fireplace actually mean, and where does it work?

    A three-sided or multi-sided fireplace has glass on the front and both ends, so the fire is visible from multiple directions. It's typically used as a peninsula between two rooms, at the end of a wall, or as a room divider. In gas fireplaces, that configuration requires careful venting; in electric, there's nothing to vent, which makes it far simpler to design around.

  • Can a Modern Flames fireplace be fully recessed into a wall?

    Yes, the built-in models are designed to be framed into a wall cavity with finishing material brought to the edge of the firebox. Each model specifies a required rough opening and minimum cavity depth, along with clearances to combustible materials. Get those numbers before framing, since correcting a cavity that's too shallow after drywall is a much bigger job.
