Modern Flames Orion Traditional Electric Fireplaces

Modern Flames Orion Traditional Electric Fireplaces

Orion Traditional covers the conventional end of the Modern Flames Orion line: a standard rectangular firebox in widths from 26 to 42 inches, proportioned like a fireplace rather than a linear ribbon. It is the option for rooms where a wide horizontal format would look out of place, and for retrofits where the existing opening dictates the shape.

Most sizes are offered both as built-in fireboxes for new framing and as inserts for dropping into an existing fireplace opening, and there is an extra tall surround configuration available on some models for openings that need more vertical coverage. V2 versions are available across the range. The dual built-in and insert availability is what makes this series broadly useful, since the same look works whether you are building a wall or replacing an unused wood-burning fireplace.

Why Buy a Modern Flames Orion Traditional Electric Fireplace

• Conventional fireplace proportions in 26, 30, 36, and 42-inch widths.
• Available as both built-in fireboxes and inserts, covering new construction and retrofit.
• Extra tall surround configuration available on some models for larger existing openings.
• No venting, chimney work, or gas line required.

What to Consider When Buying

• Choose between the built-in and insert version based on your project. Built-ins are framed into new walls; inserts drop into existing openings.
• For an insert, measure the existing firebox at the front and rear widths plus the height, and use the rear width as your limit.
• Check whether the extra tall surround configuration is needed to cover your existing opening cleanly.
• For a built-in, get the rough opening and cavity depth from the spec sheet before framing.
• Compare against the Orion Slim or Multi series if you want a linear or multi-sided format instead.
