T3090023 is an archived LOPO porcelain panel described for dry-hanging rainscreen walls. The former record paired a 300 × 900 × 18 mm format with a marble colour designation, making it a useful historical reference for designers considering a long, stone-toned ceramic facade module. It is not a current technical specification or a complete rainscreen design. This updated guide preserves the catalogue identity while showing which visual decisions, drawings and evidence require fresh project-specific confirmation.
T3090023 archive snapshot
The old listing identified porcelain, the nominal archived size, a marble colour and wall use. Its body also repeated broad dry-hanging, performance, certification, commercial and factory information common to other legacy pages. Those generic statements should not be assigned automatically to T3090023 or carried into a present specification.

What “dry-hanging rainscreen” means on this archive page
The phrase places the historic product within a mechanically supported exterior-wall concept, with a ceramic facing separated conceptually from the primary enclosure. On the archive page, however, it is a category description rather than a complete evaluated system. No current substructure, interface or project condition can be selected from the title alone.
Architects can still use the reference to express an intended ceramic rainscreen appearance. The responsible facade team must then coordinate the complete wall using current project information. Do not infer structural loads, spans, support spacing, anchorage or installation steps from the legacy name, photograph or generic claims.
Marble colour and elongated ceramic proportion
“Marble” is the archived colour wording, but it does not identify a stone species, veining pattern, base tone or surface sheen. A porcelain panel may evoke pale mineral character without being natural marble or matching its variation. Current samples should therefore be evaluated as fired ceramic products in their own right.
The 300 × 900 mm catalogue proportion can support long horizontal courses or slender vertical bands. It may create a calm field when the colour is quiet, or emphasize movement when a printed mineral pattern is directional. Use that dimension for archive context only. Confirm the present format, tolerance and finish of the exact proposed option before it appears in schedules or visual approvals.
Developing a coherent rainscreen expression
A successful ceramic facade depends on relationships across the elevation: panel rhythm, openings, corners, returns, parapets and transitions to glass or metal. T3090023 offers one historic module and colour direction for that conversation. It does not resolve those interfaces or prove that an archived panel is suitable for them.
Provide current elevations, sections, material references and the intended orientation when asking for product advice. Review physical samples beside the actual neighbouring palette and under representative light. If a marble-like pattern is proposed, ask to see enough variation to judge repetition across a larger field. Keep the approved sample code, drawing revision and written product description connected throughout the review.
Old specifications and claims need new verification
The former body contained generic claims about material benefits, technical performance, certificates, standard product ranges, delivery terms and manufacturing capacity. These statements are archive-only. They may have referred to another panel family, an earlier test specimen or business conditions that have changed. None should be presented as current T3090023 evidence.
Request a dated package identifying material, nominal size, tolerances, colour or pattern range, surface, edge quality, intended use and presently applicable reports or declarations. Ask which certificates apply to the exact product and destination market. A current quotation should confirm samples, availability, quantity, packaging, programme and delivery terms. If a newer product replaces T3090023, use that current reference consistently in drawings, schedules and procurement records.
Archive boundary: T3090023 documents the historical concept. A current offer, approved sample, dated drawing and applicable supporting evidence define any product proposed for construction.

Request a current T3090023 review
Send the project location, facade area, elevations, desired panel orientation, marble-tone reference, preferred surface, adjoining materials, approximate quantity and delivery programme. Mention archive item T3090023 and identify which qualities of the 300 × 900 mm concept matter to the design.
Email roger@lopoterracotta.com or contact LOPO Terracotta. Ask for a current product path, representative samples, present drawings and documentation tied to the exact option offered. Separate visual references from technical evidence, and record any replacement item number clearly so every participant reviews the same proposal.
If the marble direction comes from a named stone, include an approved reference and explain whether base colour, vein movement, contrast or sheen is most important. Ask the manufacturer to state which qualities a current ceramic option can reproduce and which remain inherently different. For large elevations, request representative range information rather than judging the result from a single selected piece. A short decision record linking imagery, samples and the proposed product revision will keep the archive inspiration useful without turning it into an unsupported approval.
