The Contura 856W Style wood burning stove is a wall-mounted 5 kW stove designed to give a clearer view of the fire while keeping the floor area beneath it open. With generous side glass and a raised installation position, it is well suited to interiors where the stove needs to feel lighter, more architectural and more visually integrated into the room.
The wall-mounted format is the defining feature here. By lifting the firebox off the floor, the stove creates a more elevated flame picture and a cleaner overall look on the wall. The generous side panes widen the view of the flames from different angles, making the fire more visible across the room rather than only from directly in front. This version is available with a choice of black painted aluminium, black glass or black soapstone top, which gives more flexibility in matching the final look to the interior scheme. The cast iron door is used for shape retention under repeated temperature changes, adding an important durability detail to the construction.
Performance is equally practical. The stove delivers 5 kW output, 81% efficiency and a maximum heating area of 120 m². Contura’s Clean Burning System uses preheated combustion air to support efficient combustion and low particle concentrations, while the single control allows accurate output regulation. 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 simpler in day-to-day use.

Expert Insight
Wall-mounted stoves are often chosen where floor space, visual lightness or contemporary layout is a priority. Raising the fire changes how it is experienced in the room, often making the flame picture easier to enjoy from seating height. The side glass reinforces that benefit by extending the view beyond a straight-on angle.
At 67 kg, this model is lighter than many floor-standing alternatives in the same family. The option of top or rear chimney connection also gives more flexibility when designing the flue route.
Suitability
This stove is well suited to modern living rooms, renovated interiors and projects where a wall-mounted appliance suits the overall design better than a floor-based model. It is a strong choice for customers who want efficient wood burning performance, broader flame visibility and a cleaner, more elevated presentation of the fire.
