Who It's For
Freestanding stoves tend to look like they came off a farmhouse, which is a problem when the rest of your room is clean lines and neutral color. You need a stove designed for a contemporary space. If you want a slim, curved stove in black or white, with crushed glass or stones instead of logs if you prefer, the Contura RC500 is the one. A traditional stove heats a modern room just fine and never quite fits in it.
What Makes It Special
The Contura presents the fire in a curved, three-sided panoramic view with clean lines and a monochrome body in black or white, so the tall flames are the only color on the stove.
You set the fire bed yourself: crushed glass in coal black, iceberg, or ginger, volcanic stones, or a six-piece traditional log set, over a reflective enamel panel. A battery backup keeps the heat on in a power outage.
Possible Downsides
- No fan option is listed, so it heats by radiant and natural convection only.
- The protective screen guard is a separate part, not included.
- A smaller heater than the GS33 or Hampton H35; it suits a medium room, not a great room.
If you want a stove that looks like it was designed this decade, the Contura RC500 is the right decision. The stove becomes the piece of the room guests ask about.
The Contura comes in black or white, with crushed glass in coal black, iceberg, or ginger, volcanic stones in two color mixes, a six-piece ceramic log set, a reflective enamel panel, a screen guard, and remote control holders.

Can you get an instant online estimate for the Regency Contura RC500E?
Yes—right on this page. Configure the Regency Contura RC500E and get a free, no-obligation instant estimate covering the unit as configured, a fitting vent kit, and professional installation labor. No phone call required.
What's included in the online estimate?
The unit with the options you selected, a real vent kit matched to your venting, and the installation labor for a typical setup. Your free one-to-two-hour in-home visit confirms every detail before anything is ordered.
Who pulls the permit?
We do, on every job, in every jurisdiction we serve—and we meet the inspector. It's built into the process, not an upsell.
Can you see the Regency Contura RC500E in a photo of your own room?
Yes. The Visualizer tab on this page renders the Regency Contura RC500E into a straight-on photo of your wall, scaled to the room, so you see it in your space before you price a thing. Phone photos are fine. It's a faithful preview, not an architectural drawing; sizing, venting, and trim get confirmed at the free in-home visit.
Is the online estimate real, or a rough guess?
Real, and honest about what it is: a price for the Regency Contura RC500E as configured, a fitting vent kit, and professional installation labor, built from real Seattle installs. It is not binding. The free one-to-two-hour in-home visit checks your actual house before the price is final, and nothing is ordered until then.
Do you install and service the Regency Contura RC500E yourselves?
Yes, both. Our own in-house installers set the Regency Contura RC500E, run the venting and the gas, pull the permit, and light the first fire before leaving. Afterward the service desk looks after every unit that came from Sutter, with factory-trained technicians and a real date when you call.
