Technical documents
Is it right for you?
Deciding whether ACR T400 ECO BG Cassette Stove fits the brief
The T400 ECO BG suits contemporary rooms where you want the fire to read as a clean panel in the wall rather than a framed opening. The black glass front sits well in modern plaster reveals and media walls.
It is for the same 16 inch opening as the standard T400 ECO, so it is a choice of look rather than size, aimed at a more modern finish.
Before quotation
What to settle before specifying ACR T400 ECO BG Cassette Stove
As with the standard T400, the BG is a cassette, so it needs a constructional hearth rather than a thin decorative one, and we check what is under the opening on the survey. The black glass front shows fingerprints and dust more than a framed model, so we make sure the reveal and surround are finished cleanly around it. We confirm the 16 inch opening, flue route and smoke-control position for your address.
An honest steer
How it compares with similar models
Choose the T400 ECO BG over the standard T400 ECO purely for the black glass look. The stove, the 5kW output and the 16 inch fit are identical, so pick on appearance.
If you want a wider landscape fire, the T550 ECO BG is the black glass cassette for an 18 inch opening, taking 40cm logs rather than 25cm.
Fitting it locally
Fitting the ACR T400 ECO BG Cassette Stove in West Midlands homes
The one we would put in front of clients doing a more modern living room or media wall around Sutton Coldfield and Birmingham, where a clean black glass front suits the finish better than a traditional frame. We still confirm the opening and constructional hearth on the survey.
Common questions
Questions to check about ACR T400 ECO BG Cassette Stove
Is the T400 ECO BG a different stove from the T400 ECO?
No, it is the same 5kW cassette for a 16 inch opening. The BG has a black glass fascia instead of a framed front. Output, fit and fuel are identical, it is a choice of look.
Does the black glass front need much upkeep?
It wipes clean easily, but it will show dust and fingerprints more than a framed model, so it suits people who like a clean, minimal finish. We go through care at handover.
Will the T400 ECO BG fit my fireplace?
It is made for a standard 16 inch opening. We measure your opening on the survey, since older fireplaces are rarely exactly the stated size.
What does the T400 ECO BG cost fitted?
We quote after a showroom visit or free home survey so the price covers the stove and your opening. Come to the Lichfield showroom or book a survey.
