Modern Flames Buying Guide: Which Series Is Right for You?

Very Good Fireplaces

Last reviewed: October 1, 2026

A closer look at the Modern Flames lineup for anyone who has decided on the brand but isn't sure which series fits their project.

Why buyers land on Modern Flames

The Modern Flames collection includes different formats for different projects. Compare the exact series and model rather than assuming one brand name means the same installation or features; our electric fireplace brand guide provides broader context.

Landscape Pro Series

The Landscape Pro series, including the Multi and Slim configurations, is built for wide media walls and built-in features. The Multi Series supports 3-sided viewing for open-concept rooms, while the Slim Series is designed for shallower wall depths.

Good fit if: you're building a long feature wall or media wall and want a wide range of sizes.

Orion Series

The Orion Multi Series is Modern Flames' larger-format, app-connected line, well suited to a true architectural centerpiece rather than a simple room upgrade. If flame realism and smart controls are the priority, this is the series to compare first.

Good fit if: you want the most premium, feature-rich option in the Modern Flames catalog.

Spectrum Slimline Series

Spectrum Slimline offers a shallow linear format with wall-mounted and recessed installation options. The current Allwood package includes a 60-inch Spectrum Slimline; do not assume every Spectrum size fits that package. Compare built-in and wall-mounted installation before choosing the enclosure.

Good fit if: you want the Modern Flames look in a smaller room or with less construction.

Redstone Built-In Series

The Redstone series supports compatible existing-opening inserts and custom built-in installations. Compare the electric fireplace inserts collection for an opening conversion, and check the exact model’s installation method before choosing. The Redstone owner’s manual, built-in and insert installation sections, distinguishes the electrical methods.

Good fit if: you have an existing fireplace opening you want to convert to electric.

Common mistakes

The first mistake is comparing Landscape Pro sizing against an insert opening — they solve different problems. The second is choosing Orion for a simple secondary-room upgrade, where a Spectrum Slimline or another brand entirely may be a better fit for the budget.

Frequently asked questions

Which Modern Flames series is best for a media wall?

Landscape Pro Multi or Slim, depending on available wall depth, are the strongest starting points for a media wall project.

Which Modern Flames series replaces an existing fireplace?

Redstone is one option for a compatible existing opening, but it also supports built-in installation. Confirm the selected size and installation method rather than choosing by the series name alone.

Is Orion worth the extra cost over Landscape Pro?

If flame realism, app control, and a true architectural centerpiece matter most, Orion is worth comparing. For a straightforward wide feature wall, Landscape Pro is usually the more practical choice.

Does every Redstone installation use plug-in power?

No. The manufacturer’s Redstone manual distinguishes plug-in insert installation from hardwired built-in installation. Check the instructions for the selected model and mounting method before arranging electrical work.

What should I compare before choosing a Modern Flames series?

Compare the intended installation, actual dimensions, viewing configuration, electrical requirements, and controls. Use current documentation for the exact model and revision rather than transferring specifications from another series.

Final thought

Modern Flames covers a wide range of projects under one brand name. Start with what you're building — media wall, insert, or secondary room — and the right series becomes a much easier decision. Use the electric fireplace buying guide to compare the practical requirements before ordering.
