WRS2362 11 mm Fireproof Terracotta Brick Archive clarifies a LOPO page published in 2013. The old title highlighted nominal thickness and called the wall brick fireproof. Both are historical descriptors. Eleven millimetres does not establish current format, mass or suitability, while fireproof does not provide a present classification, fire-resistance result or complete wall conclusion.
Read the 2013 WRS2362 record
The archive identified WRS2362 and listed a 240 × 60 × 11 mm field brick with two corner formats. It also carried full-body wording, about 4% water absorption, generic functions, uses, packing, container capacity, minimum order and lead-time fields. These are not current technical or commercial evidence.
| Archive item | WRS2362 |
|---|---|
| Archived field format | 240 × 60 × 11 mm |
| Archived corner formats | (174 + 50) × 60 × 11 mm or (60 + 60) × 240 × 11 mm |
| Archived material field | Full-body wording; about 4% absorption |
| Archived title claim | Fireproof; no current product or system conclusion |
The page’s only body image remains for recognition. It is not a current sample, a thickness inspection, a fire-test specimen or system evidence.
Keep 11 mm within the archive
The number is an old nominal dimension, not proof of current production, tolerance, unit mass, strength or wall compatibility. Thinness does not imply low weight or reduced structural demand. Request a dated drawing for the exact current candidate and confirm how dimensions are defined and measured.
If a successor has another thickness, update elevations, quantities and schedules instead of preserving 11 mm as an unstated assumption. Qualified project professionals should evaluate the selected brick within the actual wall proposal, using current product and system information.
Replace fireproof with defined evidence
The former word provides no test method, specimen, classification, assembly, orientation, date, market or field of application. It cannot support a current fire strategy. Old heat-resistant and firebrick function terms also do not establish fire behaviour, resistance duration or a temperature limit.
The project team should define applicable fire requirements and review dated evidence for the exact product and complete proposed system. Product-level results must not be presented as whole-wall evidence. A title, photo, item code or nominal thickness cannot substitute for an applicable classification, assessment or approval.
Coordinate formats without generic instructions
The field format can guide early visual studies, while the corner notations may trace former return units. They do not confirm present geometry, tolerance, compatibility, appearance matching or availability. Request current drawings and labelled samples for every field and corner product under consideration.
Qualified professionals must resolve building-specific substrate, movement, moisture and interfaces using confirmed system information. This archive provides no generic loads, spans, support spacing, anchors or installation instructions. When a candidate changes, revise design, quantities, samples, approvals and commercial records together.
Apply the full 2013 boundary
Archive boundary: WRS2362, full-body and natural-surface wording, all dimensions, about 4% absorption, acid, heat, non-slip, wear, firebrick, low absorption, high bending, anti-freeze, durability, non-radioactive, green and no-fade claims, uses, packing, 20-foot-container capacity, MOQ and lead times belong only to 2013.
Request current evidence identifying the product, specimen, method, result, scope and market. Reconfirm formats, corners, colour, surface, quantity, packaging, sample status, production window, delivery and payment in writing. Keep every sample, drawing, report and quotation linked to the same candidate.
Separate appearance review, product review, complete-system fire assessment and commercial acceptance in a dated register. Clearly mark superseded documents so they cannot overwrite the approved present proposal or its evidence scope.

Request a current WRS2362 review
Share the project location, wall area, elevations, appearance goals, corners, applicable fire requirement, approximate quantity and programme. Cite WRS2362 and the archived formats to support accurate tracing.
Email roger@lopoterracotta.com or use the contact form. Request current identification, samples, dated drawings, applicable product and system evidence, and project-specific commercial information.
Before selection, confirm that sample codes match every drawing, report and quotation. Record each fire document’s issuer, date and scope, and track unresolved questions in a decision log. This preserves the 11 mm fireproof archive wording without promoting it as a current conclusion.
For appearance review, classify each physical piece as inspiration, a representative range sample or a proposed production benchmark. Note the viewing light, distance, adjacent materials and date. Confirm that current field and corner samples carry identifiers matching the drawings. If a successor is proposed, retire WRS2362 from active schedules while retaining it as an archive cross-reference, then update elevations and quantities consistently.
Create separate evidence fields for nominal thickness, tolerance, product identity, fire-test method, specimen, classification, field of application, complete-system scope and reviewer status. A checked box for “fireproof” is not enough. Record the issuer and date of every document and mark assumptions still awaiting resolution. When the product or wall proposal changes, reopen the relevant review rather than carrying an old acceptance forward.
Before specification or purchase, reconcile the approved physical sample, current drawings, product evidence, system evidence and quotation. Preserve superseded reports separately so they cannot overwrite the selected proposal. This traceable process allows appearance, technical, fire and commercial decisions to remain distinct while all refer to the same current product and defined wall scope. Recheck that alignment after any product substitution, facade revision or change in project fire requirements.
