Modern Flames Landscape Pro Slim Linear Electric Fireplace

Want a fireplace in a wall that was never built for a chimney? The Modern Flames Landscape Pro Slim Linear Electric Fireplace sits recessed in the wall, so only a clean, flush face shows. The main appeal is the lighting. Hybrid-FX technology lets you give the flames, ember bed, and downlighting each their own color, so the firebox can glow amber on a winter night or turn cool blue when guests come over.

Key Features and Benefits of the Modern Flames 56-In. Landscape Pro Slim Linear Electric Fireplace

• Hybrid-FX Lighting: Hybrid-FX technology lets you control the flame color and the ember bed color separately, with independent downlighting on top, so you can match any mood.
• Heater Capacity: A 5,000-BTU PTC ceramic heater adds supplemental warmth, which lets you lower your thermostat and save energy during cold months.
• Heat Settings: The 1,500-watt heater runs on high or low, or it can switch between the 2 settings automatically to keep your room comfortable.
• Full-Function Remote: The remote's color wheel gives you full-spectrum color control, plus fade, sync, and brightness adjustments from across the room.
• Wi-Fi App Control: You can run the fireplace from your smartphone with the Modern Flames App, so you don't need to track down the remote.
• Hidden Control Panel: The onboard panel covers heater and flame on/off along with reset, so you can still use basic functions if the remote goes missing.
• Flicker Speeds: You get 3 flame flickering speeds, from a slow, calm flicker to livelier movement, so the display suits what's happening in the room.
• Included Media Options: A 7-log hand-painted Canyon Driftwood set ships with clear acrylic stone media and black smoke acrylic crystals, so you can restyle the firebox whenever you like.
• Flame-Only Mode: The LED flames run without the heater, so you can enjoy the display in warm weather without heating the room.
• CSA Certified: The fireplace carries CSA certification, an independent safety listing you can show your electrician or inspector.

Full or Half Recessed: Planning Your 2x6-Framed Wall

The fireplace is optimized for a 2x6-framed wall. You can install it fully recessed for a flush look, or half recessed when your wall construction calls for less depth. Either way, the included finish trim kit gives you a finished face and keeps the full flame viewing area open, with a finished width of 56.25 inches to plan your framed opening around.

The fireplace weighs 100 pounds. It runs on 110 to 120 volts and supports both plug-in and hardwired power. If you choose to hardwire it, you will need a qualified electrician for that part of the installation.

Sylvane's Expert Take

If you're finishing a living room or basement up to 400 square feet and want a fireplace that looks like part of the wall, this model is a good fit. The heater is supplemental, so use it to take the chill off and lower your thermostat rather than as your main heat source. The color control is what sets it apart, because the separate zones and the remote's color wheel give you a wide range of looks. Frame the wall for it early and the finished fireplace will look like it was always there.
