Is it right for you?
Deciding whether Contura i1 Inset Wood Burning Stove fits the brief
The i1 suits customers who want the fire set into the wall rather than standing in the room, whether that is an old opening brought back to life or a new fireplace built from scratch.
A good answer where floor space is tight but the room still needs a proper heat source.
Before quotation
What to settle before specifying Contura i1 Inset Wood Burning Stove
A cassette needs the opening formed correctly and the chamber built in non combustible materials. We confirm the opening size, frame choice and flue route on the survey.
An honest steer
How it compares with similar models
Choose the i1 over the Contura 110 when you want a built in look. Choose the i51 where the brief is a much wider, more architectural fireplace.
Fitting it locally
Fitting the Contura i1 Inset Wood Burning Stove in West Midlands homes
Popular where a chimney breast is already there but the opening has been closed up, which we see a lot in Lichfield and Walsall.
Common questions
Questions to check about Contura i1 Inset Wood Burning Stove
What frame options does the Contura i1 have?
It is available with a three sided or a four sided frame, both in black.
Is a cassette better than an open fire?
For heat, yes. An open fire usually draws more warmth out of the room than it puts in, where a cassette sends heat through the glass and into the room.
