WRS2302 Anti-Freeze Garden Brick: 2013 Archive Guide preserves a LOPO catalogue reference while limiting its former headline. The old page associated WRS2302 with ceramic bricks for garden wall decoration. “Anti-freeze” does not establish current freeze-thaw performance, and the garden application does not prove suitability for a particular climate, substrate, exposure or wall design.
Review the 2013 WRS2302 record
The archive listed a 240 × 60 × 11 mm field brick and two corner formats. It also contained full-body wording, about 4% water absorption, broad functions, uses, packing, 20-foot-container capacity, minimum order, sample timing and order lead time. All are historical product and commercial context.
| Archive item | WRS2302 |
|---|---|
| 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 terms | Anti-freeze and garden wall decoration; current verification required |
The page’s only body image remains for recognition. It is not a current sample, a freeze-thaw test specimen or evidence of suitability for a garden wall.
Define the anti-freeze evidence needed
The old adjective provides no test method, cycle count, specimen, saturation condition, result, acceptance criterion, date or market. Approximately 4% absorption is also an archive field and cannot establish freeze-thaw resistance by itself. Current performance must be considered against the actual product and project conditions.
Ask for dated test documentation identifying the exact candidate, production source, specimen, method, result and scope. The qualified project team should determine whether it applies to the location, exposure and wall proposal. Do not infer a conclusion from WRS2302, the nominal thickness, the photograph or the historic title.
Clarify the garden wall context
A garden wall may encounter soil, irrigation, splash, vegetation, salts, shade, sun, standing moisture or other local conditions. The old application phrase does not define which exposures were intended. Share the site location, wall type, nearby landscaping and moisture context so current reviewers can address the real project.
Appearance also matters at close range. Request representative samples and review colour, texture, sheen and variation beside paving, planting, stone, metal and joint materials. Record each sample code, date and role. A physical benchmark should govern appearance; an archive photograph is only a tracing aid.
Use formats and corners cautiously
The slender field format can guide early course studies, while the corner notations may trace former return pieces. They do not confirm present geometry, tolerances, compatibility, colour matching or availability. Obtain dated drawings and labelled samples for the exact current field and corner products.
Qualified professionals must resolve project-specific substrate, movement, moisture and interfaces with applicable current information. This archive gives no generic loads, spans, support spacing, anchors or installation instructions. If a successor differs from WRS2302, update drawings, quantities, sample approvals and procurement records together.
Apply the complete archive boundary
Archive boundary: WRS2302, full-body material wording, all field and corner sizes, about 4% absorption, acid, heat, non-slip, wear and firebrick functions, applications, packing, 20-foot-container capacity, MOQ, samples and order lead time belong only to 2013.
Old heat and firebrick wording does not establish a current fire conclusion. Request current evidence that identifies the exact product, specimen, method, result, scope and market. Reconfirm available colours, surfaces, formats, corners, quantity, packaging, minimum order, sample status, production window, delivery and payment in writing.
Keep every sample, drawing, report and quotation linked to one exact candidate. Separate appearance approval, freeze-thaw review, garden-wall design and commercial acceptance in the project register. Mark superseded records so they cannot overwrite the current selection.

Request a current WRS2302 proposal
Share the project location, garden wall type, exposure, elevations, appearance goals, corners, adjacent landscape materials, approximate quantity and programme. Cite WRS2302 and the archived formats so LOPO can trace the former record.
Email roger@lopoterracotta.com or use the contact form. Request current identification, representative samples, dated drawings, applicable freeze-thaw evidence and project-specific commercial information.
Before approval, confirm that sample codes, field and corner drawings, test documents and quotation all describe the same current product. Track outstanding exposure, moisture, appearance and supply questions in a dated decision log. This preserves WRS2302 as an archive reference without treating anti-freeze or garden use as present guarantees.
Classify physical pieces as inspiration, representative range samples or proposed production benchmarks. Review them in light and moisture conditions relevant to the landscape, note adjacent materials and retain labelled records. If LOPO proposes a successor, remove WRS2302 from active schedules while keeping it as an archive cross-reference. Update colour, surface, field and corner information consistently across drawings and quantities.
Create a separate evidence register for the current product, freeze-thaw method, specimen, cycles, result, limitations and reviewer status. Record garden-wall exposure assumptions without turning them into installation directions. When irrigation, soil contact, climate, product identity or document scope changes, reopen the review and update the dated log. Before purchase, confirm that the approved sample, drawings, relevant test documents and quotation all identify the same present brick. Preserve superseded samples and reports separately so they cannot overwrite current identity or evidence. Recheck the register after any seasonal exposure assumption, landscape revision or product substitution changes.
