Modern Flames Electric Fireplaces: Series Comparison & Buying Guide
Modern Flames Electric Fireplace Series Comparison Guide
Modern Flames offers electric fireplaces for several installation styles, including built-in, recessed, wall-mounted, single-sided, corner, and multi-sided applications. The right series depends on the look you want, how the fireplace will be installed, the available wall space, and which flame, media, and control features matter most to your project.
This guide compares the major Modern Flames electric fireplace series so homeowners, designers, builders, and commercial buyers can understand the differences before choosing a model.
Quick Answer: Choose the Sedona Pro Multi or Landscape Pro Multi when a multi-sided installation is a priority. Consider the RedStone for a more traditional fireplace appearance, the Landscape Pro Slim for a slim built-in linear installation, and the Spectrum Slimline for a wall-mounted or recessed linear fireplace with a shallow profile.
About Modern Flames
Modern Flames began producing modern linear electric fireplaces in North America in 2008. Its lineup has expanded to include traditional-style built-in fireplaces, linear fireplaces, slim recessed models, and multi-sided electric fireplaces for residential and commercial applications.
The brand is especially relevant to shoppers who want the appearance of a fireplace without choosing a traditional combustion-based system. If you are still deciding between fuel types, the electric fireplace vs. gas fireplace comparison can help clarify the broader differences before you compare individual Modern Flames series.
Modern Flames models vary significantly in installation format, viewing configuration, decorative media, flame presentation, smart controls, and available sizes. That makes series-level comparison more useful than simply choosing the largest or most feature-rich model.

How to Choose a Modern Flames Electric Fireplace
Start With the Installation Type
The first decision should be how the fireplace will fit into the wall or room. Some Modern Flames series are designed primarily for built-in installations, while others support recessed, wall-mounted, corner, or multi-sided configurations.
If you want multiple viewing sides, the Sedona Pro Multi and Landscape Pro Multi deserve the closest comparison. If the goal is a slim linear fireplace installed into or onto a wall, the Landscape Pro Slim and Spectrum Slimline are more directly aligned with that application.
Choose the Fireplace Appearance
Modern Flames offers both traditional and contemporary design directions. The RedStone Series is designed to resemble a more conventional fireplace opening, while the Landscape and Spectrum collections emphasize wide, linear presentations for modern interiors.
Decide How Much Control You Want
Several series include adjustable flame colors, ember-bed effects, decorative media, remote controls, Wi-Fi functionality, or Smart Home control. Shoppers who want extensive customization should compare these features at the series and model level rather than assuming every Modern Flames fireplace includes the same controls.
Confirm installation requirements before framing. Installation requirements differ by series and model. Confirm the applicable fireplace specifications and installation requirements before finalizing framing, wall finishes, electrical work, or surrounding materials.
Modern Flames Electric Fireplace Series
Sedona Pro Multi Series
Best for: Buyers who want a flexible multi-sided electric fireplace with multiple viewing and control options.
The Sedona Pro Multi Series is designed for multiple installation configurations. Depending on the project, the series can be used as a single-sided, corner, built-in, recessed, or multi-sided electric fireplace.
The Sedona Pro Multi combines multicolored flame effects with an ember bed, hand-painted canyon driftwood logs, and smoked glacier glass. Controls include a remote, Wi-Fi app, and Smart Home functionality.
Choose this series when flexible viewing configurations and customizable flame presentation are more important than recreating the appearance of a traditional fireplace opening.
Available Sedona Pro Multi Sizes
RedStone Series
Best for: Buyers who prefer the proportions and appearance of a traditional fireplace opening but want an electric fireplace.
The Modern Flames RedStone Series combines a traditional-style fireplace presentation with electric flame and ember-bed effects. Its taller viewing area distinguishes it from the wider linear designs found elsewhere in the Modern Flames lineup.
Hybrid-FX™ Flame Technology provides adjustable flame and ember-bed colors, allowing buyers to customize the visual presentation without changing the fireplace media or installation style.
Choose the RedStone Series when a traditional built-in fireplace appearance is a stronger priority than an ultra-wide linear or multi-sided design.
The RedStone Series is intended for built-in installation. Confirm the selected model's opening, framing, finishing, and electrical requirements before construction begins.
Available RedStone Sizes
Landscape Pro Multi Series
Best for: Contemporary installations where multiple viewing configurations, color customization, and smart controls are priorities.
The Landscape Pro Multi Series is a 3-sided electric fireplace platform designed to support multiple installation configurations. It can be controlled using a remote, Wi-Fi app, and Smart Home functionality.
The visual system includes an ember bed, multicolored flame effects, and multicolored downlighting, allowing a large number of color combinations. This makes the series especially suitable for feature-wall projects where the fireplace is intended to serve as a major visual element.
Choose the Landscape Pro Multi when a wide contemporary fireplace with flexible viewing and extensive lighting controls fits the project better than a traditional-format fireplace.
Available Landscape Pro Multi Sizes
Landscape Pro Slim Series
Best for: Slim built-in linear fireplace installations where a clean, contemporary finish and smart controls are priorities.
The Landscape Pro Slim Series is designed for built-in linear installations and works well as part of a modern entertainment wall or other finished architectural feature.
The series combines flame effects, ember-bed lighting, and downlighting that can be controlled separately. It also includes a Wi-Fi app, hand-painted log set, ceramic heater, and programmable thermostat.
Choose the Landscape Pro Slim when a slim built-in fireplace is preferred over the multi-sided viewing options of the Landscape Pro Multi.
Available Landscape Pro Slim Sizes
Spectrum Slimline Series
Best for: Wall-mounted or recessed linear fireplace installations where a slim profile is important.
The Spectrum Slimline Series includes electric fireplaces designed for wall-mounted or recessed installations. The series offers 12 flame and ember-bed colors along with flame brightness and speed controls.
Glass crystals and a detailed log set are included, allowing the fireplace's decorative presentation to be adjusted to suit different interior styles. Its slim frame also supports a clean finished appearance when surrounding materials are brought close to the fireplace edge according to the applicable installation requirements.
Choose the Spectrum Slimline when a straightforward wall-mounted or recessed linear installation is a better fit than a deeper built-in or multi-sided fireplace.
