Vanke Tangyue: brushed grey clay tile case study
This historical archive documents fine-format grey clay tile on low-rise waterside homes associated with Vanke Tangyue in Dongguan. It preserves the original rendering, photographs and WR886 product fields while separating visible design information from missing project, contract and performance evidence.
Project identity, location and date boundary
The 2018 LOPO article names Vanke Tangyue and places it on Linping Avenue in Tangxia, Dongguan. A Dongguan government location reference independently uses the Chinese name 万科棠樾 and places it on Linping Road in Tangxia. This supports the development name and general location, but it does not verify the specific buildings, tile package or supplier shown here.
The old article was published on 10 March 2018 UTC, with a 9 March WordPress local date. Neither is a construction or completion date. The source describes a villa/townhouse setting near water, Dapingzhang Forest Park, reservoirs and the Dongguan course of Mission Hills, but supplies no address for the pictured phase and no handover record.
The archive also uses translated marketing phrases such as a “Shancheng” or mountain-city concept, “Vanke Lan Shanshui Shuangcheng,” four house types and an emphasis on landscape views. They are retained here only as dated design narrative; the unidentified wording is not converted into a formal project title or team attribution.
What the WR886 tile record establishes
| Field | 2018 archived statement | Evidence boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Product type | Brushed grey clay tile used as a main wall decorative material. | The exact body, facing category and current product family are not stated. |
| Item number | WR886. | Historical project field only; current availability or equivalence requires written confirmation. |
| Nominal size | 230 × 52 × 11 mm, recorded as length × width × thickness. | No tolerance, joint module, orientation convention or approved schedule is supplied. |
| Surface / colour | Described as brushed grey; photographs show a fine, muted grey field. | Texture depth, sheen, colour code, variation range and lot acceptance are not measured. |
| Installed area | Not stated. | Building area and image coverage cannot be converted into tile area. |
| Piece quantity | Not stated. | No order, packing list, waste allowance or replacement stock is available. |
| Installation build-up | Not stated. | Substrate, mortar or adhesive, anchors, joints, movement, flashings and drainage are unknown. |
The item number and dimensions are retained exactly because they are explicit historical fields. They do not establish present manufacturing capability, dimensional compliance, installed orientation or suitability for a new project. A current sample, technical record and project-specific written scope are still required.
Facade composition visible in the archive
Fine horizontal module
The narrow units and joints give broad walls a fine-grained scale. Exact bond, joint width and corner cuts cannot be measured from the photographs.
Muted grey material field
The grey tile areas sit behind dark screens and planting rather than acting as a bright accent. Comparable work needs current samples and an agreed variation range.
Water and landscape edges
Walls, terraces, screens and water define the residential approach. The images do not reveal base flashing, waterproofing, drainage or movement interfaces.
Evidence limit
The completed appearance does not prove adhesion, structural, fire, water, frost, weathering, maintenance or environmental performance for this wall or another project.
Information to verify for a comparable facade
Confirm the exact WR886 status or proposed replacement, body and facing category, nominal and work sizes, tolerances, surface and colour range, bond and joint module, substrate and fixing or bedding method, corners and openings, movement and drainage strategy, applicable tests, mock-up approval, batch traceability, cleaning and replacement provisions, quantities, delivery scope and the responsible design and installation parties.
