Contura i5L Inset Wood Burning Stove
The Contura i5L is a stylish and compact woodburning cassette stove, ideal for transforming an existing open fireplace into a highly efficient modern heating appliance. Its large glass window provides an excellent view of the flames, while the powerful airwash system helps to keep the glass clear during normal use. With its clean Scandinavian styling, excellent build quality and highly controllable combustion, the i5L is a particularly attractive choice for both traditional and contemporary fireplace designs, providing the warmth and atmosphere of a real wood fire with significantly greater efficiency than an open fireplace.

Technical documents
Is it right for you?
Deciding whether Contura i5L Inset Wood Burning Stove fits the brief
The i5L is for customers who want the fireplace to stay crisp and built-in, but with a more generous flame picture than the smaller i4.
Before quotation
What to settle before specifying Contura i5L Inset Wood Burning Stove
We check the recess depth, surrounding materials and flue route before recommending the i5L. In some openings, short legs can help the stove sit correctly in the fireplace.
An honest steer
How it compares with similar models
The i5L is the step up from the i4 when the opening and room can take it. If the brief is a full feature fireplace, the i51 is the more architectural route.
Fitting it locally
Fitting the Contura i5L Inset Wood Burning Stove in West Midlands homes
Useful for established chimney breasts in Staffordshire and Derbyshire homes where the customer wants the fire set into the building rather than standing proud.
