Contura i4 Inset Wood Burning Stove
The Contura i4 is the smallest woodburning cassette stove within the Contura range, but its compact size doesn't compromise on performance or flame visibility. It features a large glass viewing window and powerful airwash system, helping to keep the glass clear during normal operation while giving you an excellent view of the fire.
Extremely versatile in its design, the Contura i4 is particularly popular for replacing an existing open fire, allowing you to transform an inefficient fireplace into a more efficient and controllable woodburning appliance. Its clean Scandinavian styling makes it equally at home within a traditional fireplace or a more contemporary setting.
Compact, efficient and beautifully designed, the Contura i4 is an excellent solution where space is limited but you still want the warmth, atmosphere and visual appeal of a real woodburning fire.

Deciding whether Contura i4 Inset Wood Burning Stove fits the brief
The i4 is the small-fireplace problem solver: bedrooms, snugs and older reception rooms where a full freestanding stove would feel too large.
Before quotation
What to settle before specifying 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.
An honest steer
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.
