Anti-Fire Terracotta Wall Tile: 2013 Archive Guide preserves a short LOPO page without converting its former headline into a current safety claim. The archive described a slim full-body tile family with a 240 × 60 × 11 mm main format and corner options. “Anti-fire” was 2013 title wording only. It does not establish reaction-to-fire classification, fire resistance or suitability for any present building.
Read the 2013 wall tile record
The old entry combined main and corner dimensions with approximately 4% water absorption and several function statements. It also listed applications, packing, 20-foot-container capacity, minimum order, samples and order lead times. These fields can help trace an earlier enquiry, but they are not a current product data sheet, evidence package or quotation.
| Archived main format | 240 × 60 × 11 mm |
|---|---|
| Archived corner formats | (174 + 50) × 60 × 11 mm or (60 + 60) × 240 × 11 mm |
| Archived construction wording | Full-body tile |
| Archived absorption field | About 4% |
| Archived functions | Acid, heat, non-slip, wear and firebrick-related wording; unverified today |
The page’s only original body image remains for recognition. It is not a calibrated sample, a current production reference or evidence of fire, heat or chemical performance.
Keep anti-fire wording within the archive
The former phrase does not reveal a test method, specimen, classification, assembly, orientation, field of application, date or jurisdiction. It cannot support a present fire strategy. “Firebrick” and “heat resistant” are equally insufficient as current technical conclusions, even if they appeared elsewhere in the old page.
If fire performance matters, the project’s qualified team should define the requirement for the relevant product or assembly. Request current documentation for the exact candidate, then check what it covers. A tile-level report, where applicable, should not be represented as evidence for a complete wall, and an archived marketing term should never fill a missing classification.
Use dimensions and corners as tracing clues
The 240 × 60 mm face suggests a slender brick-like rhythm. The two corner notations may identify earlier return geometries, but they do not confirm current tolerances, edge shape, compatibility, colour coordination or availability. Obtain dated drawings for each present field and corner unit before updating design or procurement records.
Include corners, openings and material transitions in visual review. Any building-specific layout, substrate, movement and interface design belongs to appointed professionals working with confirmed current products. This archive supplies no generic loads, spans, support spacing, anchors or installation instructions, and its dimensions should not be treated as site directions.
Define a current appearance brief
The old page does not establish a dependable colour, surface or variation range. “Full-body” is preserved as catalogue wording, not a verified composition or through-colour declaration. Ask what the current option is made from, how the surface is produced and what physical samples represent normal production.
Review labelled pieces beside adjacent brick, stone, glazing, metal, coatings and joint materials under representative light. State whether the desired facade is uniform, varied, smooth or tactile. Record product code, colour, finish, sample date and role. Photography helps coordination, while an approved representative physical range should govern appearance.
Replace all legacy claims with current evidence
Archive boundary: the material description, main and corner dimensions, about 4% absorption, acid, heat, non-slip, wear, firebrick and anti-fire wording, uses, packing, 20-foot-container capacity, MOQ, sample timing and order lead time belong only to the 2013 record.
Request dated reports and declarations that clearly identify the current product, specimen, method, result, scope and market. Let qualified reviewers determine which requirements and approvals apply. Reconfirm formats, colour, surface, corner availability, quantity, packaging, minimum order, production window, delivery and payment through a current written offer.
Keep every sample, drawing, report and quotation linked to one exact candidate. If the old family is unavailable, record the successor’s different model and characteristics instead of assuming continuity. This prevents evidence or commercial information from another tile from being assigned accidentally to the proposed selection.

Built images can refine an aesthetic brief, but their exact products, assemblies, evidence and approvals are not transferable by appearance alone.
Request a current wall tile review
Send the project location, building use, wall area, elevation extracts, desired appearance, corner conditions, approximate quantity and programme. Cite the archived main and corner sizes and note that anti-fire is historical wording requiring current, project-relevant clarification.
Email roger@lopoterracotta.com or use the contact form. Request current product identification, representative samples, dated drawings, applicable evidence and project-specific commercial information.
Maintain a register that separates appearance approval, product evidence, wall-level review and commercial status. Record unresolved fire questions explicitly for qualified reviewers. Before selection, ensure the sample identifier, drawings, reports and quotation describe the same current product. This preserves the old page’s tracing value without presenting “anti-fire” as a verified claim.
Before the review closes, classify each physical piece as an inspiration sample, a representative range or a proposed production benchmark. Note the viewing light, date and adjacent materials. Confirm that the current product identifier on the sample matches every drawing and report. If requirements, scope or candidate product change, update the decision log, elevations, quantities, approvals and commercial record together rather than carrying forward an obsolete assumption. Archive wording should remain visibly separated from the current project record at every review stage.
