Who It's For
A wood fireplace takes hauling, lighting, and cleaning, so most nights it just sits there. You need a fire that starts with a button. If you have a large living room fireplace and want the look of a traditional fire without a gas line, venting, or firewood—and you want to keep the project simple—the 42-inch Redstone is the one. Leave the opening empty and it stays a dark box; plug this in and you have a fire, with or without heat, any night of the year.
What Makes It Special
A glowing log set over an acrylic crystal ember bed gives it a traditional look, and the flame, the ember bed, and the downlighting each take their own color from a choice of ten. The touch-button panel has a digital thermostat and a timer, and the remote controls the heat and the flame separately.
It's built for a simple job: it plugs into a standard outlet, comes with do-it-yourself installation instructions and a finish trim kit, and can be installed beneath a TV. The fan-forced heater gives supplemental zone heating for up to about 500 square feet, and the flames run with the heat off for year-round use.
Possible Downsides
- The flame is LED-lit, not drawn on a screen; for a screen-drawn fire in an existing fireplace opening, look at the Orion Traditional.
- It's supplemental zone heat for up to about 500 square feet, not a whole-house heater.
- Surround trim kits aren't offered for this size; they're made for the 26-, 30-, and 36-inch models.
If you want your existing fireplace back in use without gas, venting, or wood, the 42-inch Redstone is the right decision. The opening that sat dark all year becomes the room everyone ends up in.
Options include the TruWood Premium Timber log kit sized for 42–44-inch units.

Can you get an instant online estimate for the Modern Flames 42" Redstone Traditional Built-In Fireplace?
Yes—right on this page. Configure the Modern Flames 42" Redstone Traditional Built-In Fireplace and get a free, no-obligation instant estimate covering the unit as configured, a fitting vent kit, and professional installation labor. No phone call required.
What's included in the online estimate?
The unit with the options you selected, a real vent kit matched to your venting, and the installation labor for a typical setup. Your free one-to-two-hour in-home visit confirms every detail before anything is ordered.
Who pulls the permit?
We do, on every job, in every jurisdiction we serve—and we meet the inspector. It's built into the process, not an upsell.
Can you see the Modern Flames 42" Redstone Traditional Built-In Fireplace in a photo of your own room?
Yes. The Visualizer tab on this page renders the Modern Flames 42" Redstone Traditional Built-In Fireplace into a straight-on photo of your wall, scaled to the room, so you see it in your space before you price a thing. Phone photos are fine. It's a faithful preview, not an architectural drawing; sizing, venting, and trim get confirmed at the free in-home visit.
Is the online estimate real, or a rough guess?
Real, and honest about what it is: a price for the Modern Flames 42" Redstone Traditional Built-In Fireplace as configured, a fitting vent kit, and professional installation labor, built from real Seattle installs. It is not binding. The free one-to-two-hour in-home visit checks your actual house before the price is final, and nothing is ordered until then.
Do you install and service the Modern Flames 42" Redstone Traditional Built-In Fireplace yourselves?
Yes, both. Our own in-house installers set the Modern Flames 42" Redstone Traditional Built-In Fireplace, run the venting and the gas, pull the permit, and light the first fire before leaving. Afterward the service desk looks after every unit that came from Sutter, with factory-trained technicians and a real date when you call.
