The Contura i8G fireplace insert is a 7 kW inset wood burning fire designed to give a broader view of the flames while delivering strong, even heat. With glass side options and a full glass door, it is built for projects where fire visibility and a more contemporary inset look are just as important as heating performance.
A major strength of this model is its flexibility in presentation. It is available with glass on the left side, right side or both sides, which makes it easier to tailor the fire view to the fireplace design and room layout. That extra glazing allows the flames to be seen from more angles than a standard front-facing insert, helping the fire feel more open within the chamber. The full glass door gives the front a cleaner appearance, while Contura’s Clean Burning System spreads heat across the inside of the glass to help keep it cleaner in use. With a 7 kW output, 77% efficiency and a maximum heating area of 150 m², the insert is designed to provide solid everyday heating performance alongside the visual impact of a wider flame picture.
The i8G is also built to be straightforward to operate. Contura’s single air control allows exact output regulation, making combustion control simpler and more precise. The insert is described as a high-quality product made in Sweden, and the combination of efficient burning, even heat and improved fire visibility makes it a strong option for customers who want an inset appliance that does more than simply fill an opening.

Expert Insight
Inset models with side glass are especially useful when the fireplace is intended to be viewed from more than one part of the room. The choice of left-side, right-side or double-sided glass allows the insert to be specified more intelligently around the room layout, rather than treating every installation the same. That can make a significant difference in how visible and effective the fire feels once fitted.
A 7 kW inset with a 50 cm maximum log length also puts this model into a more capable heating category than smaller inserts. The Clean Burning System is another important detail, particularly because directing heat across the glass helps maintain a clearer view of the fire in regular use.
Suitability
The Contura i8G is well suited to fireplace renovation projects, new fireplace chambers and interiors where the inset fire is intended to be a stronger design feature rather than a standard front-facing insert. It is a strong choice for customers who want an inset wood burning fire with broader flame visibility, solid heat output and a cleaner glazed appearance.
