The Contura i2G fireplace insert is a compact 5 kW cassette fire designed to bring a cleaner, more contemporary finish to both fireplace renovations and new build projects. With its glass door, compact proportions and choice of 3-sided or 4-sided versions, it is made to fit neatly into a wide range of fireplace openings while still delivering efficient everyday heat.
A major strength of this model is its versatility. The product data positions it as suitable for both reviving an existing fireplace and creating a completely new one, which makes it especially useful for customers who want one inset fire that can adapt to different project types. Its compact format helps it fit into more openings than larger inserts, while the glass door gives the front a more minimal and modern look. The choice of 3-sided or 4-sided trim also adds practical flexibility, allowing the insert to be detailed more cleanly depending on how the fireplace opening is finished.
Performance is equally strong for its size. The i2G delivers 5 kW output, 82% efficiency and a maximum heating area of 120 m², giving it a solid balance of heating capability and manageable proportions. The product data also highlights Contura’s latest combustion technology, reinforcing that this is designed to combine a compact exterior with efficient modern wood burning performance.

Expert Insight
Compact cassette inserts like this are particularly useful where the fireplace opening is restricted, or where the project needs a fire that can sit comfortably within an existing structure without major rebuilding. The choice between 3-sided and 4-sided versions is also more important than it first appears, because it affects how the insert finishes visually against the opening and how neatly it integrates with the surrounding materials.
At 82% efficiency, this model also stands out as a strong performer for a compact inset fire. That makes it a practical option where the goal is not only to improve the look of a fireplace, but to upgrade its heating performance at the same time.
Suitability
The Contura i2G is well suited to fireplace refurbishments, smaller built-in fireplace projects and interiors where a cleaner glazed inset look is preferred. It is a strong choice for customers who want a compact insert with modern styling, efficient performance and flexible trim options.
