About
We are setting a new standard for modern electric fireplaces.
Modern Flames is known as an innovative leader in contemporary electric fireplace design and technology. Pioneering the introduction of the modern linear electric fireplace in 2008, the style has since set the standard for architects, designers, builders, and homeowners with an ultra-realistic flame appearance paired with the ease of installation and affordability.
