The Contura 500 series is now available in stylish white

The Swedish stove manufacturer Contura is upgrading and adding even more style to its popular 500 series. The much-loved Contura 596 Style stove will be available in white enamel, with larger sidelights and a rugged glass door. The Contura 520S Style will be available in smooth sandstone with a new, slender cast iron door, in black or grey.

The world's most popular stove has been updated

Contura in Markaryd in Småland combines traditional Swedish engineering skills with modern design and environmental awareness and is the market leader in its field today. Contura also makes the world's most popular stove, the Contura 500 series. The 500 series first appeared in 2003 and has since been released in several new versions, always with the same contemporary elegance, meticulously designed features and efficient combustion. The entire series was given a design overhaul in 2015 which has made it more popular than ever before.

Classic favourites with a new edge

Contura will be releasing three new versions of its popular 500 series. The Contura 510 series will be available in dazzling white. There are no side glass panels, which makes it easier to position in corners. One of Contura's most popular stoves in Sweden and other countries is the Contura 596 Style. This too has been given a facelift, with an attractive glass door and larger sidelights which display more of the fire. The wood burning stove can be equipped with powerstone as an optional feature for increased heat output. It will be available in white enamel with a white top too. The Contura 520S Style will be available in new smooth sandstone with a fantastic, soft feel.

State-of-the-art facility where environmental protection is a priority

Contura's wood burning stoves are produced with the greatest respect for the environment in one of the most state-of-the-art facilities in the world, where sustainability is a watchword in the manufacturing process. A modern wood burning stove has a much lower impact on the environment and is far more efficient than an older stove. This is confirmed in a new report published by the Swedish Energy Agency.

"The fireplace has become an even more important part of the home and its interior design and furnishing. And we're delighted that our extended range can satisfy the growing demand for stoves, especially now it's been proven that switching to a modern stove is good for the environment and your wallet," says Phil Wood.
