Simplifire Allusion Platinum Electric Fireplace Size Guide: 50"-72"

Compare 50", 60", and 72" Allusion Platinum models to confirm recessed framing cutouts, viewing area, and 120V power/heating requirements before you buy.

How to measure (60 seconds)

  • Confirm framing: Allusion Platinum is designed for 2×6 recessed installation for a flush, clean-face look.
  • Opening width & height: measure your framed opening and match the “Recessed framing / cutout” values in the fit table.
  • Depth available: confirm at least 5 5/8" depth (minimum) plus wallboard/finish thickness (finishing material up to 1" is supported).
  • Power plan: verify a dedicated 15A, 120V/60Hz circuit (hardwire or plug-in permitted per manufacturer).
  • TV / mantel: follow the manufacturer’s mantel projection chart and keep combustibles at least 36" from the front.
Clearance note
Minimum clearances to combustibles (per manufacturer guide): Sides 0", Floor 0", Back 0", Front 36". Mantel projection limits apply—use the manual’s chart for your exact mantel depth and height above the opening.

50" model

SF-ALLP50-BK
Best for: Small-to-medium living rooms, primary bedrooms, or offices.
Why: This model is the perfect entry point for a luxury linear look in standard-sized rooms. Because it is designed to be fully recessed into a 2x6 wall, it provides a flush, integrated appearance that doesn't protrude into the living space, making it ideal for high-traffic areas where floor space is at a premium.
Viewing area: 48" W × 15" H
Recessed cutout: 51" W × 19 3/4" H × 5 5/8" D (min.)
Firebox: 52 5/16" W × 20 7/16" H × 5 5/8" D

60" model

SF-ALLP60-BK
Best for: Modern media walls and mounting beneath 55" to 65" televisions.
Why: The 60-inch model is the most versatile "centerpiece" size. It offers a 58-inch wide viewing area that balances perfectly with the most common TV sizes. The nearly invisible heater vents and tinted glass ensure that the focus remains entirely on the vibrant flames and ember bed, creating a sophisticated entertainment hub.
Viewing area: 58" W × 15" H
Recessed cutout: 61" W × 19 3/4" H × 5 5/8" D (min.)
Firebox: 62 5/16" W × 20 7/16" H × 5 5/8" D

72" model

SF-ALLP72-BK
Best for: Large great rooms, open-concept basements, and luxury commercial spaces.
Why: This is the largest model in the Platinum series, stretching over 6 feet wide to provide a panoramic flame experience. It is the best choice for large "Feature Walls" where you want a dramatic architectural statement. Despite its large size, it still maintains the same 5-inch depth, allowing for a grand display without the need for deep, bulky wall bump-outs.
Viewing area: 70" W × 15" H
Recessed cutout: 73" W × 19 3/4" H × 5 5/8" D (min.)
Firebox: 74 5/16" W × 20 7/16" H × 5 5/8" D
