Known for innovations in modern, contemporary electric fireplace design and technology for residential and commercial settings, Modern Flames is a six-year-old Phoenix developer and manufacturer of electric fireplaces. Modern Flames is the only electric fireplace company that exclusively manufactures its products, so you can be assured of superlative craftsmanship and quality control.

In 2008, the company pioneered the contemporary linear electric fireplace throughout North America. These are designs that fit particularly well into great rooms, living rooms and master bedrooms.

“Our linear line has become very popular with architects, designers, builders such as Arizona Structures and homeowners because of the extremely realistic flame appearance, the ease of installation and overall cost compared to a gas or wood fireplace,” says Tom Foy, general manager. “This look is the choice of most interior decorators and designers today.”

The company’s many products range from traditional designs to modern ones, such as the linear line, with an eclectic flair if desired. An insert for conversion of an existing gas or wood-burning fireplace is also available, he explains.

Modern Flames products are available in lengths up to 12 feet long and offer a competitive look versus gas fireplaces but without the installation and operation problems. They are all UL listed by InterTek Laboratories to meet all building codes, Foy says.
