Installing a stove in the summer time, are you mad?

We all know that the best stove installers are often unavailable due to their busy schedules from September right through to March time. During this period the UK tends to attract the coldest and the most challenging periods of weather. Those who have been considering a wood-burning or multifuel stove for weeks or months, suddenly decide now is the time. However, are you really mad to consider installing a stove in the summertime?

Unpredictable weather

Whether we like it or not, weather patterns in the UK continue to change with unseasonal warm periods over the winter and unseasonal cold periods over the summer. The reality is that predicting the UK weather from day-to-day is challenging but looking weeks and months ahead is a whole different universe. So, perhaps it is time to look towards the “warmer climes” to install your new wood-burning/multifuel stove and have it ready for the oncoming cold snap?

The new Hwam 4510 Stove

While contemporary wood-burning stoves have certainly grown in popularity, the Hwam 4510 stove is certainly something a little different from the norm. Aside from the fact it has a relatively large front viewing area, so you can drift off watching the flickering flames and embers, there are also two side glass panels. This transforms the look and feel of this particular model and while the flickering flames are also visible from the side, it also enhances the glow of the burning embers.

Hearth, plinth or wall mounted

The Hwam 4510 wood burning stove comes in three different variations, the standard model, cast door model (Hwam 4510c) and glass door model (Hwam 4510m). When you also consider the fact the machine can be mounted directly on a hearth, on a low (175 mm) or high plinth (255 mm) and even wall mounted, the options are extremely attractive. This ensures that the Hwam 4510 wood burning stove is at home in any environment whether traditional, contemporary or mix of the two. Many people assume that wall mounted stoves are difficult to install when this is not the case. So, the options are there, which one would best suit your room?

The new Hwam 4520 Stove

Those who follow the wood-burning stove industry will be well aware of renowned Danish stove brand Hwam which has a unique ability to mix and match traditional and contemporary stoves with the latest technology. So, while there is no doubt that the Hwam 4520 stove is contemporary in style it is traditional in the fact that it is able to create an eye-catching display of burning embers and flickering flames for you to watch through the enlarged front viewing panel. We live in a day and age when different types of stove are not only there to create heat but also capture the attention of visitors and in many ways become an integral part of a room design.

Hearth mounted, plinth or wall mounted

There are not many stoves available today which will allow you to mount on a hearth, low plinth, high plinth as well as a wall bracket.

Well, these are the options with the new Hwam 4520 range of wood burning stoves. The low plinth is 175 mm in height, the high plinth 255 mm in height and the wall bracket can be mounted at any height. While there is a fashion towards wall mounted wood-burning stoves, which are still relatively easy to install, there is still strong demand for more traditional placement.
