LW1510717 is a 2013 LOPO catalogue reference originally titled Light Weight Terracotta Wood Panel for Wall. The archived fields recorded red colour and two 12 mm nominal format families, while the title suggested a wood-related appearance. “Light weight” is retained only as historic wording, not as verified mass or system performance. Current product identity, surface, dimensions, weight, composition, certification, performance and supply information all require project-specific confirmation.

LW1510717 archive snapshot

The old record connected item LW1510717 with red, 12 mm nominal thickness and 600 or 900 mm lengths in two widths. Its title used “wood panel” and “light weight,” and the page included broad environmental and performance claims, weight and lead-time fields, certificates and a generic table. All are 2013 archive context.

Historic LOPO panel image retained from the LW1510717 archive page

The page has one original body image. It is a generic historical panel photograph, not a verified LW1510717 red sample, wood-texture close-up, weight reference or current product image.

Limit the old “light weight” description

The archive gives no current mass per unit area, comparison basis, assembly definition or applicable project evidence. A nominal 12 mm product dimension does not prove low weight, easier handling, structural capacity or reduced wall-system demand. Panel information and complete facade information are different scopes.

Ask for current product mass data and a dated drawing for the exact proposed item. Qualified project professionals should assess the candidate within the actual building design. Do not infer generic loads, spans, support spacing, anchorage or installation instructions from the historic headline or dimensions.

Clarify red colour and the “wood panel” wording

The title suggests a wood-related aesthetic, but the archived fields only reliably identify red. They do not define a timber species, grain pattern, repeat, relief, sheen or surface method. A current enquiry should ask whether the nearest option is genuinely wood-grained, merely directional or a plain red panel.

Provide separate colour and texture references. Review current physical samples beside glazing, metal, stone and any real timber under representative light. Record red undertone, surface relief, grain direction, pattern repeat and acceptable variation rather than allowing the old title to stand in for an appearance specification.

Study the two archived format families

Historic widths of 300 and 150 mm, combined with 600 or 900 mm lengths, can support early studies of broad courses, narrow strips or mixed rhythms. Orientation also changes how any directional surface reads. Include openings, corners and transitions when testing the visual concept.

These combinations are not promises of current availability, tolerance or suitability. Request present drawings and keep one consistent product identifier across samples, elevations and schedules. If the current alternative changes the model, dimensions or surface, revise the design study and quantities rather than retaining mismatched archive data.

Replace generic archive claims with evidence

The old environmental assertions, composition language, performance figures, weights, delivery timing, certification references and generic table values may relate to a former specimen, family or market. They should not be assigned automatically to LW1510717, a substitute or a complete facade proposal.

Request a current material and surface description, nominal dimensions, tolerances, colour and texture range, edge expectations, product mass basis and intended application. Ask for dated declarations, reports and certificates clearly covering the exact item and destination. Confirm samples, quantity, packaging, programme and delivery in a current quotation.

Archive boundary: LW1510717, red, both 12 mm size families, “wood panel” and “light weight” preserve the 2013 page. Only a current identified offer, approved samples, dated drawings and applicable evidence define a live selection.

Built references support visual research, but their exact products, systems, evidence and approvals remain project-specific.

Request a current LW1510717 clarification

Share the project location, facade area, elevations, desired orientation, red target, wood or grain reference, surface preference, adjacent materials, approximate quantity and programme. Mention LW1510717 and both archived size families so LOPO can trace the concept while checking what the former “wood panel” label meant.

Email roger@lopoterracotta.com or contact LOPO Terracotta. Request written product identification, representative samples, current mass information, dated drawings, applicable documents and a quotation for the exact candidate.

Give each option a unique product and sample code. Record whether it is a colour reference, texture feasibility sample, range sample or proposed production benchmark. Connect the selected physical material to the matching drawing revision and evidence set so the project does not combine information from different products.

Create a comparison register listing each current product name, sample identifier, proposed dimensions, surface description, declared mass basis, drawing date and evidence references. State whether any weight comparison concerns a ceramic unit or a defined wider assembly; do not allow the old adjective to fill a missing value.

Keep sample approval separate from technical acceptance. The selected red or wood-related appearance can guide aesthetics, while qualified reviewers independently assess dated product information and the complete project proposal within their respective responsibilities.

If today’s recommendation differs in format, thickness, surface or model, update elevations, schedules and quantities together. Keep weight, performance, certification, availability, packaging and programme open until written responses resolve them. This replaces the ambiguous old marketing title with a traceable present review.
