Contura 870 Style Wood Burning Stove
The Contura 870 Style is a Scandinavian-designed woodburning stove with a stylish pedestal base. The tall woodburning stove combines contemporary styling with impressive efficiency and controllable heat. With an output range of 3 to 7kW, it is an excellent choice for a wide variety of rooms and can burn seasoned or kiln-dried wood logs and compressed timber briquettes.
With its high efficiency, the Contura 870 Style is SIA EcoDesign 2022 compliant and DEFRA approved, making it suitable for use in smoke-controlled zones while providing a cleaner and more economical burn than many traditional solid-fuel appliances. The stove is highly controllable from a single lever and features a large viewing window and a powerful preheated airwash, helping to keep the glass clear and giving you an excellent view of the lazy, relaxing flames.
A key advantage of the Contura 870 Style is its suitability for modern homes. Depending on the installation and clearances, it can be positioned as close as 100mm from a plasterboard or combustible wall, making it particularly versatile for properties with stud walls or other combustible features behind the appliance. Its stylish proportions, A+ energy rating and compact footprint make it an attractive and timeless choice for open-plan contemporary rooms.
Measuring approximately 1100mm high × 465mm wide × 365mm deep, the Contura 870 Style offers a combination of Scandinavian design, efficient heating and flexible installation options, making it a popular choice for homeowners looking for a modern woodburning stove.
The 870 is also available with additional side glass as the Contura 886 Style, offering an even greater view of the flames and allowing you to enjoy the fire from more angles within the wider room.

Is it right for you?
Deciding whether Contura 870 Style Wood Burning Stove fits the brief
The 870 Style is for rooms where the stove sits in the open rather than tucked low into a fireplace. The raised fire suits extensions, glazed rooms and open-plan spaces where the flame needs to be seen from seated and standing positions.
Before quotation
What to settle before specifying Contura 870 Style Wood Burning Stove
We set out the hearth and walking routes around the pedestal carefully, especially where the stove may be viewed from more than one angle. If a turntable is considered, clearances and flue route need checking early.

How it compares with similar models
Mechanically it sits close to the 810 Style, but the proportions are completely different. The 810 is compact and grounded; the 870 is taller, lighter and more architectural.
Fitting it locally
Fitting the Contura 870 Style Wood Burning Stove in West Midlands homes
A strong option for newer homes and extensions across Staffordshire and the West Midlands where there may not be a traditional chimney breast to work around.
