Slim fireplaces are for walls where depth is limited, and electric designs are the best fit because they need no vent or deep firebox. This collection features the Modern Flames Orion Slim Heliovision linears and the Spectrum Slimline wall mount or recessed fireplace. The Orion Slim models run from 52 to 100 inches at 5,000 BTU, while the Spectrum offers 50, 60, 74 and 100 inch sizes. If you have been searching for a thin fireplace that can hang on a wall or sit in a shallow recess, compare the formats here.

What to know about a slim electric fireplace

Measure the wall depth before anything else, because a slim fireplace still needs framing space in a recessed install. Wall mount designs like the Spectrum can attach to the surface, which avoids cutting into the wall. Orion Slim offers virtual Heliovision flames with three flame styles and adjustable colors, while Spectrum uses Hybrid-FX flames and ember bed lighting. Both rely on a power supply, so plan an outlet in or beside the opening. Heat output is a 5,000 BTU supplement. Check the clearance above for a television or art, and finish the surround so the slim trim blends in with the wall.

How thin is a slim fireplace?

The Spectrum Slimline is designed for a shallow 2 by 4 wall recess or a wall mount. Check each product's depth in its specifications.

Can a slim fireplace go under a TV?

Often yes, as long as the manual's clearance guidance is met. Plan the layout and heat path before mounting a television above.
