The i4 is the small-fireplace problem solver: bedrooms, snugs and older reception rooms where a full freestanding stove would feel too large.

Installation notes for the Contura i4 Inset Wood Burning Stove
Inset work is all about the opening. We measure the recess, lintel, hearth and flue condition before recommending the Classic or Modern frame.

How it compares with similar models
Choose the i4 for smaller openings and gentler heat. Choose the i5L when the opening can take a wider 5kW inset with a larger glass area.

Common questions
Contura i4 Inset Wood Burning Stove FAQs
Is the Contura i4 a small stove?
Yes. It is a compact inset stove with a 4kW nominal output, so it suits smaller rooms and openings.
Can it connect to outside air?
Contura lists an outside-air connection option. We confirm whether it is needed and practical on survey.
Which i4 frame should I choose?
That depends on the opening and finish. We can compare Classic and Modern frames during the showroom or survey stage.
