Heat-Resistant Wall Tile Brick: 2013 Archive Guide preserves a short LOPO catalogue record while separating its former marketing from current evidence. The page described a slim full-body wall tile family with a 240 × 60 × 11 mm main format and corner options. Its heat-resistant and firebrick wording is historical only. It does not establish present fire performance, temperature limits or suitability for any particular building condition.
Read the 2013 wall tile record
The old entry listed a main tile, corner pieces and several broad functions. It also included material, absorption, application, packing, container capacity, minimum order, sample and order timing fields. Those details can help identify a former enquiry, but they are not a current data sheet, quotation or declaration.
| 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 claims; all unverified today |
The page’s only original body image remains for recognition. It is not a calibrated colour reference, a verified current sample or evidence of heat, fire or chemical performance.
Interpret the main and corner dimensions
The archived 240 × 60 mm face suggests a long, narrow module that can create fine horizontal courses or a vertically oriented texture. The two corner notations appear to describe former return geometries. They may help trace an old schedule, yet they do not confirm today’s dimensions, tolerances, edge shape, colour coordination or availability.
Request a current drawing for every proposed field and corner piece. Review how the nominated products look at external and internal changes of plane without assuming that old corner codes remain compatible. These are visual and procurement checks, not installation directions. Any project-specific setting-out and interface design belongs to the appointed team using confirmed current materials.
Define appearance and intended application
The archive did not provide a reliable current colour, texture or shade range. “Full-body” was old catalogue wording and does not by itself establish composition, through-colour behaviour or suitability. Ask what the current candidate is made from, how its surface is produced and which pieces represent the normal visual range.
Review labelled physical samples beside adjacent brick, stone, metal, glazing, coatings and joint materials under representative light. State whether the desired effect is uniform, naturally varied, smooth or tactile. Photographs can support discussion, but a traceable physical benchmark should govern appearance. Describe the project location and intended wall zone so the response addresses a real context rather than a generic use list.
Limit the old heat and firebrick language
“Heat resistant” and “firebrick” in the former page do not prove reaction-to-fire classification, fire resistance, maximum service temperature, thermal shock behaviour or fitness near heat-producing equipment. Acid resistance, slip resistance and wear resistance were also generic 2013 claims. No present conclusion should be drawn from the title or archive table.
Archive boundary: all material descriptions, approximately 4% absorption, acid, heat, non-slip, wear and firebrick functions, usage claims, packing, 20-foot-container capacity, MOQ, sample timing and order lead time are retained only as 2013 history. Current written evidence is required.
Ask for dated reports or declarations that clearly identify the exact current product, specimen, method, result, scope and intended market. The project’s qualified team should decide which performance criteria and approvals apply. A product test, where relevant, must not be confused with evidence for a complete wall assembly.
Verify current evidence and project coordination
Request the current product name, available formats, colour range, surface, nominal dimensions, tolerances and intended applications. Confirm whether matching corners are standard, custom or unavailable. Recheck quantity, packaging, sample status, minimum order, production window, delivery and payment in a current quotation instead of using the old commercial fields.
Qualified professionals must design the project-specific wall and resolve substrate, interfaces, movement, moisture and site conditions with applicable current information. This archive supplies no generic loads, spans, support spacing, anchors or installation instructions. Record each sample, drawing and report with its date and product identifier so documents from different candidates are not combined.
Explore current tiles and project references
Review LOPO’s current terracotta tile overview for present colours, surfaces and formats.
Browse terracotta cladding projects for scale and facade composition ideas.
Visit the architectural terracotta gallery to compare tiles, bricks and panels in context.
Use the LOPO contact page for current samples, drawings and documents.
Built references can refine an aesthetic brief, but their exact products, assemblies 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 colour and texture, required corner conditions, approximate quantity and programme. Mention the archived 240 × 60 × 11 mm format and both corner notations so LOPO can trace the former heat-resistant wall tile reference.
Email roger@lopoterracotta.com or use the contact form. Request current product identification, labelled samples, dated drawings, applicable evidence and project-specific commercial information.
Maintain a comparison register for each candidate, separating appearance, dimensions, technical evidence and commercial status. If heat or fire performance matters, state the project requirement explicitly and have the responsible specialists assess relevant current documentation. This approach preserves the archive without turning its former title into a present safety claim.
Before approval, note whether each reviewed piece is an inspiration sample, a representative range or a proposed production benchmark. Confirm that its identifier matches the drawing and evidence package. Record unresolved questions in a dated log, and update that log when product identity, dimensions, corner availability, project requirements or document scope changes.
