The Contura i7 fireplace insert is a 7 kW cassette fire designed for projects where the fireplace needs to be shaped around the room rather than limited by a fixed surround format. With its cast iron door and steel frame, it offers a more solid, understated inset look while still giving you the flexibility to create a bespoke fireplace design.
A key advantage of this model is its versatility in installation. The cassette format allows it to be placed within a fireplace you design yourself, making it especially useful for custom chambers, renovation work and more individual built-in features. The black finish keeps the appearance restrained, while the cast iron door adds both visual weight and long-term durability. Cast iron is used because it resists the stresses created by repeated temperature change, which is important in regular wood burning use. With a 7 kW output, 77% efficiency and a maximum heating area of 120 m², the i7 is designed to provide meaningful heating performance as well as design flexibility.
Contura’s single control makes output regulation simple and precise, helping the insert remain easy to use day to day. The Clean Burning System introduces preheated combustion air to support efficient burning and low particle concentrations, contributing to longer, cleaner combustion. Together, these features make the i7 a practical choice for customers who want a robust inset fire that can be built into a more tailored fireplace setting.

Expert Insight
Cassette inserts like this are especially useful where the fireplace design is being driven by the project rather than by a standard manufacturer surround. That makes them a strong option for bespoke builds, media wall-style concepts with a real fire element, or fireplace renovations where the visible finish around the appliance is being custom-made. The cast iron door also gives this version a more traditional and robust character than the glazed alternative.
A 7 kW inset with a 50 cm maximum log length offers a useful level of heating capability for a built-in appliance, particularly where the fire is expected to provide real room heat rather than simply visual effect.
Suitability
The Contura i7 is well suited to bespoke fireplace projects, renovation work and interiors where the inset appliance needs to integrate into a custom-designed feature. It is a strong choice for customers who want a solid cast iron-fronted look, flexible installation styling and dependable wood burning performance.
