The Contura 856WG Style wood burning stove is a wall-mounted 5 kW stove designed to combine efficient heating with a lighter, more open look in the room. With glass sides, a glass door and a raised installation position, it gives the fire greater visual presence while keeping the space beneath the stove clear.
The wall-mounted format is a defining part of this model’s appeal. By lifting the stove from the floor, the fire sits higher in the room, which can improve how it is seen from seating level and helps create a cleaner, more architectural finish on the wall. The glass sides and glass door reinforce that effect, opening up the flame picture and giving the stove a more spacious appearance. This version is available in black or white, with a choice of black painted aluminium, black glass or black soapstone top, making it easier to tailor the final look to the wider interior design.
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 uses preheated combustion air to support efficient combustion and low particle concentrations, while the single control allows precise output regulation. Features such as ASF – Automatic Start Function, RBF – Refuelling Boost Function and the Silent Sliding Ashtray are designed to improve ease of use during lighting, refuelling and ash removal.

Expert Insight
Wall-mounted stove models are often chosen where a project needs the fire to feel more integrated into the architecture of the room rather than sitting as a freestanding element on the floor. Raising the appliance changes the sightline to the flames, while the extra glazing helps the fire remain visible from more angles. That combination makes this type of stove especially effective in modern interiors and layout-led renovations.
At 67 kg, this model is lighter than many floor-standing alternatives and some heavier stone-clad variants. The option of top or rear chimney connection also gives useful flexibility when planning the flue route.
Suitability
The Contura 856WG Style is well suited to contemporary living spaces, modern renovations and projects where a wall-mounted stove better suits the room layout. It is a strong choice for customers who want efficient wood burning performance, broader flame visibility and a cleaner, more open visual effect.
