The Contura 590T Style soapstone stove is a tall 5 kW model designed for homeowners who want a stronger vertical presence, natural heat retention, and flexible heat distribution options. With a soapstone body, cast iron door, and the option to add a Powerstone heat tank or fan, it is built for interiors where the stove is expected to do more than deliver direct heat alone.
Its tall format gives the stove a more architectural look, helping it stand out as a feature within the room rather than sitting lower and more compact at floor level. The soapstone construction adds to that presence while also bringing practical heat retaining qualities. In real use, that matters because the stone can continue releasing warmth after the main burn has reduced. The cast iron door is designed to withstand repeated temperature variation, making it a sensible choice for a stove intended for regular use. The cool touch handle improves comfort in everyday operation, and the single control keeps combustion adjustment straightforward and precise.
This model also includes a Clean Burning system, which uses an extra rear duct system to introduce preheated combustion air. That supports efficient burning over longer periods and helps achieve low particle concentrations. For buyers who want even more from the stove’s heat behaviour, the option of a Powerstone heat tank adds further stored heat capacity, while a fan can be chosen to help move heat more effectively into the room. These options make the stove more adaptable to different layouts and heating preferences.
Available in black or grey, the stove combines a compact 5 kW output with a substantial 240 kg weight, reflecting its tall soapstone construction. With 80% efficiency, a maximum heating area of 120 m², and chimney connection available from above or behind, it offers a good balance of efficiency, material presence, and installation flexibility.

Expert Insight:
A taller stove changes both the visual impact and the way heat is experienced in the room, often making the appliance feel more like a fixed architectural feature. Soapstone already contributes stored warmth, so the option to add a Powerstone heat tank gives further scope for longer heat release beyond the main burn cycle.
Suitability:
This model is well suited to living rooms, open plan interiors, and design led spaces where a taller stove format and retained warmth are both priorities. It is a strong choice for buyers who want a more substantial soapstone model with options to tune how heat is stored or distributed.
Installation / Technical Notes:
The stove can be connected from above or behind, helping with different flue routes and installation layouts. Accessories listed include fan, floor protection, outdoor air inlet, Powerstone, soft close door, and turntable.
