Technical documents

Is it right for you?

Deciding whether Contura 51L Wood Burning Stove fits the brief

The 51L suits a fireplace where the customer wants a Contura stove to sit low and wide rather than tall. It can work well in existing chimney breasts where proportions rule out taller contemporary bodies.

Before quotation

What to settle before specifying Contura 51L Wood Burning Stove

The survey confirms whether the opening, hearth and 150mm flue route suit this format. Where the opening is tight, an inset model such as the i4 or i5L may be a cleaner answer.

An honest steer

How it compares with similar models

Choose the 51L where you want a freestanding stove look in a compact fireplace. Choose the i5L where the appliance should sit more like an inset cassette.

Fitting it locally

Fitting the Contura 51L Wood Burning Stove in West Midlands homes

Useful for older properties with existing fireplace openings, especially where preserving the chimney breast proportions matters.
