This light weight strip beige terracotta panel page preserves a LOPO record from 2013. The archive associated model FX3018012 with a nominal 300 × 600 × 18 mm format. Its title said beige, while the old color field said yellow. The source does not resolve that conflict, so both descriptions remain historical and this update chooses neither. “Light weight” and “strip” also belong only to the old title; they do not establish current mass, performance, surface geometry, availability or a complete wall solution.
Archive Conflict: Beige Title and Yellow Color Field
The beige and yellow descriptions must be retained together rather than harmonized into a new color claim. They may have referred to related tones, separate catalog conventions or an old data-entry difference, but the archive does not provide enough evidence to decide. No current finish should be named from this record alone.
For a live inquiry, describe the intended palette independently and ask LOPO for current physical samples. Review the proposed samples beside the project materials and record their product identity, date and acceptable range. The old conflict remains useful source history; the current sample set becomes the basis for design decisions. Keep the conflict visible in every inquiry and comparison record. A current sample may resemble beige, yellow or neither; its own identification and approval status—not the old fields—must govern the proposal. Review LOPO’s current terracotta panel range only as a discovery starting point, then request product-specific evidence.
Reading the Original Facade Panel Image
The photograph shows a repeated fired-clay facade field and offers useful context for module rhythm, joint expression and warm material character. It does not prove that the pictured panels are current FX3018012 production or that their displayed color precisely represents the archived yellow. Lighting, image age and screen settings affect perception. The photograph cannot confirm today’s geometry, surface, edge detail, reverse form, composition or project compatibility.
Use the image to communicate broad architectural intent, then review current physical samples that carry the same product identity as the proposal. Record the sample date, color range and finish chosen for the project so the archived photograph remains a design reference instead of becoming an unsupported approval standard.
“Light Weight” Is Not a Current Performance Claim
The words light weight appear only in the historical title. The archive supplies no current mass per unit area, comparison basis, complete assembly definition or project evidence. Panel weight and whole-wall weight are also different questions. No decision about the proposed product or facade should rely on this old phrase.
Ask for dated weight information that clearly identifies the current product, and let the responsible project professionals assess it within the actual design. Treat strip in the same disciplined way: it can guide a visual discussion, but only a current product drawing and sample can establish the proposed surface and geometry.
Exterior Cladding Is More Than a Visible Panel
The fired-clay facing is one part of a project-specific exterior wall. The complete proposal must be coordinated with the building design, interfaces, environmental exposure, applicable regulations and divided responsibilities. Those subjects depend on the actual project and should be addressed by the responsible team using current drawings and product information. The 2013 page cannot define a complete contemporary system or substitute for that review.
This distinction matters when the archive uses broad terms such as light weight strip beige terracotta panel. LOPO can respond about a proposed current ceramic product, samples and available supporting information. The appropriate project professionals can then evaluate the full facade concept and determine which current evidence is required. No generic system claim should be inferred from the archived title.

Archive notice: The old model, dimensions, yellow color, environmental language, applications, certifications, benefit list and generic technical table are retained only as 2013 history. Absolute statements about sustainability, durability, weather behavior, maintenance, color permanence, strength, fire, acoustics, thermal effects or universal suitability are not current evidence. Figures from the old table cannot establish the properties of a present panel or complete facade. Request dated documents for the exact proposed product and destination market.
Prepare a Current Cladding Inquiry
Share the project country, building use, elevation drawings, approximate facade area, preferred module proportion, intended color direction, companion finishes, delivery destination and program. State whether FX3018012 and the former 300 × 600 × 18 mm format are required references or whether the main goal is a similar visual character. Ask LOPO for the current product identity, feasible dimensions, composition, representative samples, expected visual range, project system scope, package boundaries, lead-time information and relevant technical or compliance documents.
Browse LOPO’s terracotta facade project references and architectural terracotta gallery for current design context. Precedents can inform material and composition discussions, but they do not transfer another project’s product evidence to FX3018012.
Discuss a Current Strip Terracotta Panel
To review a current exterior wall cladding direction related to this archive, contact LOPO or email roger@lopoterracotta.com. Include the archive URL, drawings, approximate area, destination, preferred color character and required documents. LOPO can respond with current samples and product information without presenting the 2013 specification or claims as current. The response should distinguish every archive reference from current items and date the supporting material supplied for review.
