Jamie Barrow, 33, torched the flat belonging to Fatoumatta Hydara, 28, and daughters Fatimah Drammeh and Naeemah Drammeh, aged three and one, in Clifton, Nottingham.
The man had admitted their manslaughter at Nottingham Crown Court but denied murder, claiming he did not think the family were at home at the time.
On Tuesday, a jury found him guilty of the more severe charges. After seven hours of deliberations, a jury unanimously convicted Barrow of three counts of murder and arson being reckless as to whether life was endangered.
