The Touchstone Sideline Elite collection is designed for homeowners, designers and builders who want the clean appearance of a modern linear fireplace together with customizable flames and connected controls. A slim black surround maximizes the visible fire area, allowing the flames to become the focal point of living rooms, bedrooms, media walls, offices, hotels and other hospitality spaces.

Available in multiple widths, Sideline Elite electric fireplaces can be integrated into projects ranging from compact apartment walls to expansive custom installations. Their contemporary proportions pair naturally with stone, porcelain, plaster, wood paneling, built-in cabinetry and minimalist fireplace surrounds.

Recessed or Wall-Mounted Installation

Touchstone Sideline Elite fireplaces are designed for installation inside a properly prepared wall opening. Compatible models can also be mounted directly on the wall when installed according to the instructions for the specific fireplace.

Because these are electric fireplaces, they do not require:

  • A chimney
  • An exterior vent
  • A gas connection
  • Firewood storage
  • Ash or soot removal

Depending on the model and installation plan, the fireplace can be connected to a standard 120V power supply or professionally hardwired. Always review the individual product manual, electrical requirements and rough-opening dimensions before beginning construction.

Custom Flame Colors and Decorative Media

The Sideline Elite Series gives homeowners extensive control over the appearance of the fireplace. Compatible models provide up to 60 flame and ember-bed color combinations, allowing the display to coordinate with both traditional and modern interiors.

Additional customization includes:

  • Five flame-brightness levels
  • Three flame-speed settings
  • Traditional log media
  • Clear crystals
  • Driftwood-style decorative media
  • Adjustable flame and media-bed colors

Use the log set and warm orange flames for a more traditional hearth appearance, or select crystals and contemporary color settings for a modern fireplace wall.

Wi-Fi, App and Voice Control

Compatible Touchstone Sideline Elite smart fireplaces include Wi-Fi connectivity for convenient control from a mobile device.

Using the Touchstone app, homeowners can access compatible fireplace functions without relying only on the included handheld remote. Supported models can also integrate with compatible Amazon Alexa and Google Home devices for voice-assisted control.

Control options may include:

  • Power
  • Flame appearance
  • Heat settings
  • Timer functions
  • Brightness

Exact smart features can vary by model, so check the individual product specifications before ordering.

Year-Round Flames With Independent Heat

The flame effect and heater can operate separately. This allows you to enjoy the appearance of the fire during spring and summer without adding unnecessary warmth to the room.

During colder weather, standard indoor Sideline Elite models provide supplemental heat through a maximum 1,500-watt heater with output of up to approximately 5,000 BTU.

These fireplaces are intended to support room comfort rather than replace a property’s primary heating system. Depending on insulation, ceiling height, room layout and ambient temperature, they can help warm spaces of up to approximately 400 square feet.

Can You Install a Sideline Elite Fireplace Below a TV?

A Touchstone Sideline Elite fireplace can be installed below a television when the installation follows the clearance requirements for the exact fireplace model.

Touchstone generally recommends maintaining at least 8 inches of clearance between the top of the fireplace and a television or ceiling. The final layout may also need to account for:

  • The television manufacturer’s requirements
  • Heat-sensitive wall materials
  • A soundbar
  • A mantel or shelf
  • Electrical outlets and wiring
  • The depth of the recessed opening
  • Comfortable television viewing height

Review both the fireplace and television installation instructions before constructing the wall. When necessary, consult a qualified installer or electrician.

How to Choose the Right Sideline Elite Fireplace

Selecting an electric fireplace involves more than matching its width to a television.

Consider the following before ordering:

  • Total wall width
  • Fireplace viewing distance
  • Room proportions
  • Television dimensions
  • Fireplace installation depth
  • Required clearances
  • Electrical access
  • Preferred flame colors
  • Log, crystal or driftwood media
  • Recessed versus wall-mounted installation
  • Supplemental heating expectations

A properly proportioned fireplace should look intentional within the entire wall rather than appearing too narrow or overwhelming the surrounding architecture.
