The Contura i6 fireplace insert is a compact 5 kW cassette fire designed for customers who want to create a bespoke built-in fireplace with a more solid, understated look. With its cast iron door, integrated handle and manageable proportions, it offers flexible design potential for new fireplace builds without sacrificing practical everyday heating performance.
This model is aimed at projects where the fireplace is being designed around the cassette rather than chosen as a fixed complete unit. That makes it well suited to custom fireplace builds, tailored chambers and renovation work where the finish, proportions and surrounding materials are all part of the design brief. The cast iron door gives the insert a more robust and traditional appearance, while also providing the shape retention needed under repeated temperature change. The integrated handle keeps the front neat and easy to operate, and the compact cassette size makes it a practical option where space is more limited. With a 5 kW output, 78% efficiency and a maximum heating area of 120 m², it delivers effective wood burning performance in a more compact inset format.
Day-to-day use is kept simple through Contura’s single control, which allows exact output regulation and more precise combustion control. The Clean Burning System introduces preheated combustion air to support efficient burning and low particle concentrations, helping the fire burn more cleanly over longer periods.

Expert Insight
Cassette inserts like this are especially useful when the visible fireplace design is being created around the appliance rather than supplied as a complete factory-built feature. That gives more control over the chamber finish, proportions and overall character of the fireplace. The cast iron door is also a meaningful construction detail, not just a styling choice, because it is used to withstand repeated expansion and contraction caused by high operating temperatures.
At 5 kW, this insert sits in a practical output range for many living spaces, while the 33 cm maximum log length reflects its more compact firebox compared with larger inset models.
Suitability
The Contura i6 is well suited to bespoke fireplace projects, renovation work and interiors where a built-in wood burning fire needs to sit neatly within a custom-designed feature. It is a strong choice for customers who want a more robust cast iron-fronted look, compact inset proportions and dependable heating performance.
