The Contura 856G Style wood burning stove is a 5 kW stove designed for customers who want efficient heat output with a lighter, more contemporary look. With glass sides and a glass door, it opens up the view of the fire and gives the stove a more airy appearance within the room.

This version stands out for the way it maximises the flame picture. The side glass panels and glass door allow the fire to be seen more clearly from different angles, which helps the stove act as both a heat source and a visual feature. That makes it especially effective in interiors where the stove is intended to contribute to the overall design of the space, not just provide warmth. The model is available in black or white, with a choice of black painted aluminium, black glass or black soapstone top, allowing the finish to be tailored more closely to the room scheme.

Performance remains practical and straightforward. The stove delivers 5 kW output, 81% efficiency and a maximum heating area of 120 m². Contura’s Clean Burning System introduces preheated combustion air to support efficient burning and low particle concentrations, while the single control allows precise combustion adjustment. Features such as ASF – Automatic Start Function, RBF – Refuelling Boost Function and the Silent Sliding Ashtray are designed to make lighting, refuelling and ash handling easier in everyday use.

Expert Insight

Glass-sided stove models like this are often chosen where flame visibility is a priority. They work particularly well in rooms where the stove can be seen from more than one seating position, as the fire remains visually present from wider angles than a standard front-facing design. The option of a glass floor protector is also worth considering on this style of stove, as it can help maintain the lighter overall look described in the product data.

The option for top or rear chimney connection gives useful flexibility when planning the flue route. With a net weight of 77 kg, this model remains relatively manageable compared with heavier stone-clad alternatives.

Suitability

The Contura 856G Style is well suited to modern interiors, open-plan living spaces and renovation projects where the appearance of the fire is a key part of the room design. It is a strong option for customers who want a stove with a lighter visual feel, broad flame visibility and efficient day-to-day wood burning performance.
