The Contura 320T soapstone stove is a 7 kW wood burning model designed for homeowners who want a stronger sense of material character alongside steady, efficient heat. With its soapstone surround, cast iron door, and maximum heating area of 120 m², it offers a combination of visual depth, heat retention, and everyday practicality.
Soapstone is a natural material with individual veining, which means each stove has its own surface character rather than a uniform finish. Beyond appearance, it is valued for its heat retaining qualities, helping the stove hold warmth and release it over a longer period. That matters in daily use because the stove continues to contribute warmth even after the fire has reduced. The cast iron door is designed to cope with the stress created by repeated temperature change, making it a practical choice for regular use. Its generous glass pane gives a clearer view of the fire, while the single control makes output regulation more straightforward and precise.
The stove also includes a practical log compartment underneath, helping keep fuel close by and the overall installation more organised. It accepts logs up to 50 cm, which supports a broader flame picture and longer burn periods between refuelling. With 77% efficiency, an A rated efficiency class, and chimney connection from above or behind, it is a well balanced option for projects that want both performance and a more premium material finish.

Expert Insight:
Soapstone is often chosen for more than appearance. In stove design, its ability to retain heat can help soften the way warmth is released into the room over time. A cast iron door is also significant on a stove of this size, as it is selected to handle repeated expansion and contraction without compromising structural stability.
Suitability:
This model is well suited to living rooms, open plan spaces, and interiors where the stove is intended to feel like a substantial design feature rather than just a heat source. It is particularly well placed in projects where natural materials and a longer lasting sense of warmth are priorities.
Installation / Technical Notes:
The stove offers chimney connection from above or behind, which provides more flexibility when planning the flue route. A storage drawer is available as an optional extra, and an outdoor air inlet is also listed as an accessory where required for the installation.
