HWAM Stoves

HWAM A/S is one of Denmark’s largest producer of architect designed wood-burning stoves.

For 40 years, HWAM has designed and produced modern, high-quality wood-burning stoves with several patented advantages – first under the name, ABC and today under the two brands, HWAM and WIKING.

The company was founded by Vagn Hvam Pedersen in 1973 and is owned and run 100% by the Hvam family. Sons Stefan and Torsten have followed in their father’s footsteps and are today in charge of the company, the former as the Managing Director, the latter as Head of Research and Development.

Collaboration with Known Designers
According to Vagn Hvam Pedersen, one of the reasons for HWAM’s great success is that the wood-burning stoves are both beautiful and functional. Today, a wood-burning stove is something more than just a heat source. For HWAM, design, aesthetics and function are three sides of the same coin, so to speak, and this is the reason behind the company’s 40 years of collaboration with visionary architects and designers.

Hwam have a range of stoves that are designed for you to use from your phone or tablet, so you can control the temperature in the room from the comfort of your sofa. It’s not just a gadget (but let’s face it, it is a pretty good gadget too).

HWAM’s SmartControl™ electronic air regulation gives you a sublime level of comfort and goes easy on the environment and on your pocket. But it’s not just that – at the price of a wood-burning stove, you also get an engineer a personal firing aid right in the middle of your living room!

The “HWAM® SmartControl™” app allows you to easily set up your desired room temperature on a mobile telephone or tablet – and the app even reminds you when it’s time to fill up with firewood again. The only thing you have to do yourself is light the fire and close the door.

The system will take care of the rest for you, so you can relax, kick back and relish the flames and the cosy heat.

Visit the Hwam site to find out more about the clever technology behind the app.

Modern design with ease of use

Wiking wood-burning stoves are designed using state-of-the-art techniques. This ensures uniform quality and user-friendliness that are second to none.

Wiking Automatic

In a Wiking log burner, the regulation of air during lighting and re-stocking is managed automatically through the Wiking Automatic device. This consists of a heat-sensitive bimetallic coil, which expands or contracts depending on the temperature in the wood-burning stove.

Unique closing system

Just pull the handle lightly to open the door, when the door is pushed shut, the locking hooks engage and pull the door shut. When the door is closed the handle fits flush with the solid cast iron door and maintains the stove’s clean lines.

Quality and a 5-year extended warranty

WIKING has more than 30 years of experience with the manufacture of stoves. This is your guarantee that all WIKING products meet high demands for quality, design and functionality. The stoves are produced in a high-tech production environment, using modern equipment such as laser cutting and robot welding. The entire process results in a high, uniform quality.

Using materials of the highest quality throughout the entire process Wiking stoves use soapstone from Finland.

The combustion chamber

All WIKING stoves have a highly-insulated combustion chamber of Vermiculite plates. Vermiculite is a natural material originating in Africa, which has superior insulating capacity combined with a low weight when compared to firebricks from other manufacturers. The Vermiculite plates ensure a temperature increase which is fast enough for the combustion to be clean and efficient. Clean combustion means less soot in your stove and chimney, which will safeguard the environment and reduce the risk of a fire in your chimney.

Approvals

All WIKING stoves have been tested and approved by leading European institutes. This means they meet the environmental demands of the future. All WIKING stoves are CE labelled in accordance with the European standard EN13240, the Norwegian standard SINTEF NS3058/3059 and the Austrian standard Art. 15a.

Woodburning stoves

Woodburning Stoves are one of the most environmentally friendly ways of heating your living space, they are very efficient, and clean burning.

We believe the best way to choose a stove is to experience a range of them first hand – we stock a wide variety of makes, models and sizes, to suit all budgets, to give you the opportunity to compare styles and functionality before making a decision.

We have many years experience, and can help you identify which models are suitable for your home, and your own unique requirements, whether you have a chimney, or not.

Wood is a renewable resource, particularly when derived from plantations and cultivated woodland. When using your woodburning stove, for optimum results, we recommend logs should be seasoned for 2 years or more to achieve a moisture content below 20%. This will not only give up to twice the output of freshly felled timber but help avoid a build up of tar in your stove’s flue. Furthermore, if you can obtain hardwood logs this is better still, as they will have around twice the calorific value of softwoods.

Modern woodburning stoves burn much cleaner and more efficiently than older conventional stoves, and improved combustion techniques provide spectacular flames.

By upgrading to a CE certified and HETAS accredited woodburning stove, you can save wood, reduce smoke and enjoy the view all winter long.

What’s the difference between a woodburning stove and a multifuel stove?

There is one main differentiation between multifuel and woodburning appliances – Generally woodburning stoves burn on a bed of ash with no air supply under the grate (or no grate), multifuel versions have a grate to allow air supply under the smokeless fuel to aid combustion.
