Compact Danish Design & Dependable Everyday Heat
The HWAM 5240 stove brings HWAM’s clean Scandinavian design into a genuinely compact footprint. As a result, it suits homeowners with smaller rooms, tighter hearth openings, or anywhere a larger stove simply wouldn’t fit. Its neat proportions keep the appliance discreet, without sacrificing the clean lines that run throughout the HWAM range.
This model suits homeowners who want dependable everyday heat from a straightforward, low-maintenance stove, and who need it to sit closer to a side wall than some other compact models allow. Consequently, it works particularly well as a first stove, a second heat source, or an installation in a compact snug or study.
Homeowners can choose the HWAM 5240 stove with a Classic or Modern door, in black or grey steel. In addition, a choice of handle styles lets homeowners personalise the finishing details to suit their taste.
Classic Or Modern Door Styles On The HWAM 5240
The HWAM 5240 stove comes with two distinct door styles, so homeowners can choose the look that best suits their interior.
- Classic (5240c) – a traditional framed door, adding a touch of familiar detailing to the stove’s front
- Modern (5240m) – a cleaner, more glass-fronted door for a pared-back, contemporary look
Homeowners can order either door style in black or grey steel.
A Choice Of Handle Finishes
The HWAM 5240 stove also offers a choice of traditional handle finishes, so homeowners can fine-tune the smaller details of the stove’s appearance.
- Traditional handle, black – a discreet finish that blends into a black steel body
- Traditional handle, stainless steel – a brighter, more contrasting metal finish
- Traditional handle, grey – a softer tone that pairs naturally with grey steel
As a result, homeowners can match the handle to their chosen steel colour, or use it to introduce a subtle contrast instead.
Compact, Everyday Heating Performance
The HWAM 5240 stove delivers dependable warmth suited to smaller living spaces.
With a nominal heat output of approximately 4.4kW, it offers a gentler, more contained level of heat, ideal for compact rooms where a larger stove would quickly overwhelm the space. Additionally, its efficient combustion helps make the most of every load of wood.
HWAM® Autopilot™ Combustion Control
Combustion management sits at the heart of how the HWAM 5240 stove performs.
As standard, HWAM® Autopilot™ automatically regulates the air supply as the fire burns, so homeowners rarely need to make manual adjustments. This mechanical air-control system helps maintain efficient, consistent combustion without the need for constant monitoring.
Built For Modern, Smoke-Conscious Homes
Clean-burning performance matters increasingly to homeowners, particularly those in smoke control areas.
The HWAM 5240 stove meets current DEFRA and EcoDesign expectations for wood burning appliances, so homeowners can feel confident they’re choosing a stove suited to modern regulatory standards. Combined with HWAM’s established combustion technology, it offers a considered way to enjoy a genuine wood fire responsibly.
HWAM 5240 Stove Installation Compatibility
The HWAM 5240 stove fits a range of practical installation scenarios.
An optional external air connection lets installers draw combustion air from outside the property, which proves especially useful in newer, well-insulated, or particularly airtight homes. Furthermore, its reduced side clearances give installers more flexibility when working within smaller rooms or existing fireplace openings close to a side wall.
A Compact And Dependable Heating Solution
Altogether, the HWAM 5240 stove combines compact Danish design, Classic or Modern door styles, a choice of handle finishes, dependable everyday heating, and reliable HWAM® Autopilot™ combustion control. Ultimately, it offers a considered, space-conscious way to enjoy a genuine wood fire.

Figures sourced from HWAM’s technical data for the 5240c and 5240m, which are identical in performance and dimensions. Side clearance (10cm insulated / 15cm uninsulated) is narrower than the 5230, making the 5240 easier to fit close to a side wall. It’s available with either a 5″ or 6″ flue outlet — confirm the correct size with your installer. Unlike HWAM’s larger models, SmartControl™ is not offered; Autopilot™ is the only combustion system. Handle finish does not affect weight, as it’s a cosmetic accessory rather than a structural variant.
