The Contura i40 fireplace insert is a 7 kW built-in wood burning fire designed for bespoke fireplace projects where flame view and installation flexibility are both priorities. With its angled guillotine door, large glass area and left- or right-handed insert options, it gives you far more scope to create a distinctive corner-style fireplace with a stronger view of the fire.

What sets this model apart is the angled format. The insert is available in left or right versions, allowing the fireplace to be planned around the room layout rather than forcing a standard front-facing installation. The large angled glass increases the visible fire picture and helps the flames feel more present within the room. Contura’s Clean Burning System supports that by promoting efficient combustion and helping you see the maximum amount of fire through the glazing. The lift-up door also suits this type of built-in design well, giving improved access to the firebox while keeping the front visually clean.

In performance terms, the i40 delivers 7 kW output, 81% efficiency and a maximum heating area of 160 m². Its ability to take logs up to 50 cm is another major practical advantage, allowing a larger and longer-burning fire than more compact inset models. Optional accessories including a building frame, outdoor air inlet and Powerstone allow the installation to be tailored further. Powerstone is concealed within the unit and is designed to retain heat for a longer period after the main fire has reduced.

Expert Insight

An angled insert like this gives much more freedom when designing a fireplace around the shape of the room. Choosing a left- or right-handed version can make a significant difference to how well the fire presents from the main seating area and how naturally the fireplace fits into the architecture. That makes this type of model especially effective in corner-led layouts or more design-focused renovation projects.

The 50 cm maximum log length is also a meaningful benefit. Larger logs help create a fuller fire bed and can support a longer-lasting burn, which suits a substantial built-in fireplace of this type. Powerstone is also worth considering where extended heat release is part of the brief.

Suitability

The Contura i40 is well suited to bespoke corner fireplace builds, renovation projects and interiors where the fire is intended to be a major design feature. It is a strong choice for customers who want a built-in wood burning fireplace with a wider angled fire view, stronger room presence and flexibility over left or right installation orientation.
