Modern Flames Orion Traditional Surround Trim Kit - 5-Piece Surround for 26", 30" and 36" Fireboxes
Overview
When an Orion Traditional firebox goes into an existing masonry opening, the old opening is almost never the same size as the new insert. The Modern Flames surround trim kit closes that gap: a five-piece steel surround, bottom riser included, that frames the firebox and hides the rough edge of the original fireplace.
Each firebox size is offered in two widths — Small and Large — and the manufacturer publishes the exact opening each one covers, so you can measure your fireplace before ordering rather than guessing. The 26" kits cover openings up to 36-3/4" wide, the 30" kits up to 44" wide and the 36" kits up to 44-1/2" wide; full coverage ranges are listed in the specifications and on the manufacturer sheet.
The kits fit the Orion Traditional fireboxes in 26", 30" and 36", including the current V2 generation (OR26-TRAD-V2, OR30-TRAD-V2, OR36-TRAD-V2). Measure the height and width of your existing opening first — that measurement, not the firebox size alone, decides whether you need the Small or the Large kit.

What Our Customers Say
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between andirons and a grate?
An andiron pair is L-shaped — the horizontal bar lifts logs off the floor for airflow, and the upright front feet keep logs from rolling forward. A fire grate is a single basket-style frame with bars along the bottom that holds the wood pile inside the firebox — it does the same airflow job as andirons but in one piece. Most modern fireplaces use a grate; andirons are common in traditional or decorative installations.
What size grate or andirons fit my fireplace?
Choose a grate or andiron pair at least 2"–3" smaller on each side than the firebox interior — this leaves room for ash buildup and tools. The grate should sit flat on the floor with the front bar slightly inset from the opening. For andirons, both feet should rest fully inside the firebox. Steel and cast iron should be at least ½" thick for durability under heat.
What tools do I need for my fireplace?
The standard fireplace tool set includes poker, shovel, broom/brush, and tongs — usually paired with a stand. The poker rearranges burning wood; the shovel scoops out ash (let cool 24+ hours first); the brush sweeps loose debris off the hearth; the tongs handle hot logs without burning your hands. Optional add-ons: a log carrier, hearth gloves, and a metal ash bucket with lid.
How do I clean and maintain fireplace accessories?
For cast iron and steel — brush off ash with a stiff brush, wipe with a dry cloth. For deep cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild dish soap and dry thoroughly to prevent rust. Brass and copper — polish occasionally with a brass cleaner. Don't use abrasive scrubbers on powder-coated or painted finishes — warm soapy water and a soft cloth is enough. Always cool fully before cleaning.
