FH3018236 Yellow Decorative Terracotta Panel Archive clarifies a LOPO exterior wall page published in 2013. The entry associated model FH3018236 with yellow colour and a nominal 300 × 600 × 18 mm format. “Decorative” describes the former presentation, not a defined current surface or performance category. Designers can use the record to trace an aesthetic idea, then request a present product identity, representative samples, dated drawings and relevant project evidence.
FH3018236 archive snapshot
The model, colour and nominal dimensions are retained as historical catalogue fields. Other former language about clay composition, environmental benefit, recyclability, performance, certification, weight, production, packing, port, payment or delivery also belongs to the 2013 page. None should be copied into a current specification without documented verification.

This is the original page’s only body image. It remains for recognition but is not a calibrated yellow sample, proof of a particular decorative surface or confirmation of current availability.
Translate “decorative” into a useful brief
The word can refer to colour, texture, module, joint rhythm, relief or the way panels frame openings. The old entry does not state which attribute made FH3018236 decorative. A productive enquiry should therefore describe the intended visual effect rather than assuming that the archived label represents one current finish.
Prepare an elevation crop, mood board and close-up reference. State whether the facade should appear calm or lively, smooth or tactile, uniform or varied. Ask which current products can achieve that direction and obtain samples labelled with model, colour, surface, date and status. Separate inspiration samples from proposed production benchmarks so each review has a clear meaning.
Evaluate the archived yellow colour
Yellow ceramic may range from pale straw and ochre to warm buff or stronger golden tones. Surface relief, sheen, daylight and neighbouring materials can alter its appearance. The archive provides no undertone, shade range, firing variation or colour-control method, while the retained photograph cannot function as an accurate reference.
Review several current pieces beside the proposed glass, metal, stone and sealant under relevant lighting. Ask the supplier to show a representative range and identify lighter, typical and darker outcomes. Record the accepted tone and variation with traceable physical samples. If today’s closest option is described as buff, ochre or another colour name, use its current identifier instead of forcing it under the old yellow label.
Study format and facade composition
The archived 300 × 600 mm face can support early exercises in horizontal or vertical rhythm. The recorded 18 mm thickness is a former nominal product value, not evidence of current mass, tolerances, strength, span or system compatibility. Openings, corners, parapets and changes of material should be included in visual studies before a module is adopted.
Request a dated drawing for the exact present candidate. The project’s qualified team must coordinate interfaces, movement and the complete wall proposal using current system information. This page gives no generic loads, spans, support spacing, anchors or installation instructions. When a current alternative differs from the old format, revise elevations, schedules and quantities consistently.
Apply a strict archive boundary
Legacy assertions about natural material, sustainability, recyclability, fire, frost, thermal or acoustic properties, weathering, durability, impact, certification, capacity, ranking, weight and commercial terms remain part of the 2013 record only. Generic tables do not establish the behaviour of FH3018236, a current substitute or a complete facade assembly.
Archive boundary: FH3018236, yellow and the nominal 300 × 600 × 18 mm format identify the former entry. Only an exact current product, approved sample, dated drawing, applicable evidence and written quotation can define a live selection.
Ask for documents whose product code, source, specimen, date, scope and destination are clear. The project team should decide which reports, declarations and approvals are relevant to its building and jurisdiction. Confirm quantity, availability, packaging, schedule, delivery and payment terms anew rather than relying on old web fields.

Project photographs can guide composition, but their products, systems, evidence and approvals should not be assumed transferable to a new site.
Request a current FH3018236 proposal
Send the project location, facade area, marked elevations, desired yellow or ochre direction, texture and sheen preferences, adjacent materials, approximate quantity and programme. Mention FH3018236 and its archived 300 × 600 × 18 mm record to help LOPO trace the former reference.
Email roger@lopoterracotta.com or submit the LOPO contact form. Request written current identification, representative labelled samples, a dated product drawing, applicable evidence and a project-specific quotation.
Create a comparison register listing product code, colour, texture, dimensions, sample status, drawing revision and evidence references for every option. Reconcile the chosen physical benchmark with the quotation and technical pack before specification or purchase. That traceable process preserves the archive’s design value without presenting its former language as a current promise.
During review, photograph the labelled sample set with the intended neighbouring materials and note the light, distance and date. Confirm which pieces illustrate the expected range rather than selecting only a preferred tile. If a successor is proposed, replace the legacy code consistently in elevations, schedules, sample approvals, quotations and document registers so the project retains one clear source of identity.
