Technical documents
Is it right for you?
Deciding whether ACR T550 ECO BG Cassette Stove fits the brief
The T550 ECO BG suits contemporary rooms with a wider fireplace opening, where you want a broad landscape fire that reads as a clean black panel in the wall. It is the most modern-looking cassette in the ACR range.
It sits well in media walls and modern plaster reveals where a framed front would look too traditional, while still giving the wide flame picture of the T550.
Before quotation
What to settle before specifying ACR T550 ECO BG Cassette Stove
The BG is a cassette, so it needs a constructional hearth above 100 degrees, and we check what is under the opening on the survey. The wide black glass front looks its best against a cleanly finished reveal, so we pay attention to the surround around it. We confirm the 18 inch opening, side clearances, flue route and smoke-control position for your address.
An honest steer
How it compares with similar models
Choose the T550 ECO BG over the standard T550 ECO purely for the black glass look. Output, the A+ rating, the 18 inch fit and the 40cm log length are identical, so pick on appearance.
If your opening is a narrower 16 inch, the T400 ECO BG is the black glass cassette in the smaller size, taking 25cm logs.
Fitting it locally
Fitting the ACR T550 ECO BG Cassette Stove in West Midlands homes
The cassette we would show for a wide, modern fireplace or media wall around Birmingham and Sutton Coldfield, where the clean black glass front finishes the look better than a frame. We still confirm the 18 inch opening and constructional hearth on the survey.
Common questions
Questions to check about ACR T550 ECO BG Cassette Stove
Is the T550 ECO BG the same stove as the T550 ECO?
Yes, it is the same 5kW landscape cassette for an 18 inch opening, with an A+ rating and 40cm log length. The BG version has a black glass fascia instead of a framed front. It is a choice of look.
What is the difference between the T550 BG and the T400 BG?
Both have black glass fronts. The T550 BG is the wider one for an 18 inch opening and takes 40cm logs, the T400 BG is for a 16 inch opening and takes 25cm logs. It comes down to the size of your opening.
Does the T550 ECO BG need a constructional hearth?
Yes, as with all the ACR cassettes. It runs a hearth above 100 degrees, so a constructional hearth is needed. We check what is under your opening on the survey.
What is the fitted price of the T550 ECO BG?
We quote after a showroom visit or free home survey so the figure reflects your opening and hearth. Come to the Lichfield showroom or book a survey.
