Thick Clay Paving Brick: 2013 Archive Verification Guide refreshes the old page titled LOPO Thick Clay Brick for Paving without treating the retained image code as a product identity. The record listed 100 × 200 × 50 mm, Natural Clay, packing, floor-paving and multiple function statements. The string FR573 appears only in the original image filename and alt context; it is an image-tracing clue, not a reliable Item No, archive model or current product code.
Read the 2013 thick-brick archive snapshot
The old entry combined one nominal size with broad functions and commercial wording, but its reliable structured Item No is not established here. It also lacks enough current traceability to identify a present model, production source, specimen, method, certificate scope, packaging or availability. FR573 can locate the retained image only; it must not populate a product field.
| Archived Item No | Not reliably stated | FR573 appears only as an image filename/alt tracing clue |
|---|---|---|
| Archived size | 100 × 200 × 50 mm | Current drawing and tolerances required |
| Archived material wording | Natural Clay | Composition and source require current documentation |
| Archived use | Floor paving | Current project suitability unverified |
| Archived functions | Acid, antibacterial, heat insulation, non-slip, firebrick and wear wording | Not current evidence |
The sole original image remains for recognition. It is not a calibrated sample, dimensional drawing, weight statement, slip record or current production reference.
Do not turn the image code into a model
A filename or image alt string is not structured catalogue evidence. It does not demonstrate a historic Item No, product identity or present continuity. Product names, plants, bodies, sizes, surfaces and documentation can change. Copying FR573 into a schedule would turn a cautious image trace into an unsupported model claim.
Create a current identity record before comparing candidates. Note the legal seller, manufacturer, production source, exact product and sample codes, drawing date and document issuer. Leave any missing relationship between the photographed archive tile and a current candidate unresolved rather than assuming that a similar appearance proves continuity.
Ask LOPO to provide a reliable current product identifier independently of the image filename. If a candidate is proposed, record its unique code and use it consistently across samples, drawings, evidence and quotation. Preserve FR573 only in the media-provenance note.
Keep thick and Natural Clay wording historical
“Thick” is relative marketing language. The archived 50 mm dimension does not establish a current product, mass, strength, load capacity, durability or suitability for a particular floor. It should be used only to trace the old proportion until LOPO provides a dated drawing for an identified present candidate.
“Natural Clay” does not define current composition, source, additives, environmental profile or manufacturing route. Request a present material description and applicable declarations. Historic heat-insulation and firebrick wording also cannot establish contemporary thermal or fire performance.
Recheck paving and functional claims
Floor paving, acid resistance, antibacterial behaviour, heat insulation, non-slip performance and wear resistance concern different uses, exposures and methods. A generic list does not prove that one tile satisfies all of them. Appearance alone cannot establish traction, hygiene, chemical resistance or service behaviour.
Separate visual review from performance review. A sample can support decisions about colour, texture and variation, while dated reports address only the specimen, method and scope they identify. Neither a photograph nor a generic function list demonstrates the behaviour of a complete floor proposal.
State the actual use, exposure, traffic, cleaning context and applicable project criteria. Request only evidence relevant to that brief. This archive provides no generic substrate, load, slope, joint width, fixing or installation instructions, and its old dimension must not become a site direction.
Replace packing and truncated certification fields
The old page included packing language and a truncated GB/T19001-2000 or ISO9001:200 reference. The incomplete text does not establish a certificate number, holder, issuing body, scope, status or relevance to the photographed archive tile. A management-system reference would not by itself prove product performance.
Request current certificates directly from the present legal entity and check their edition, issuer, validity and scope. Reconfirm exact product, size, colour, surface, quantity, packaging, minimum order, sample status, programme, delivery and payment in a current written quotation.
Archive boundary: FR573 as an image filename/alt clue only, 100 × 200 × 50 mm, thick, Natural Clay, floor paving, packing, all function terms and the truncated GB/T19001-2000/ISO9001:200 wording belong only to the 2013 record.
Explore current floor tiles and projects
Review LOPO’s current terracotta floor tile directory for present product discovery.
Browse terracotta projects for material context without transferring another project’s approvals.
Compare current labelled samples and documents rather than treating the archive photograph as an approval benchmark.
Use the LOPO contact page for current product and company information.
Current links support enquiry and visual research; they do not turn the image clue or other 2013 fields into current product data.
Request a current paving-tile proposal
Send the project location, intended floor use, area, exposure, traffic context, desired colour and surface, approximate quantity, programme and required evidence. Cite the archive URL and 100 × 200 × 50 mm for historical tracing. State that FR573 appears only in the retained image metadata and is not a verified Item No or product model.
Email roger@lopoterracotta.com or use the contact form. Request an exact current product identifier, representative samples, dated drawings, applicable reports and project-specific commercial information.
Review several current pieces together under representative light and beside adjacent materials. Classify each as inspiration, representative range or proposed production benchmark. Record the viewing condition and date, then confirm that the physical labels match every current drawing and commercial response.
Keep sample role, drawing revision, report method and scope, certificate issuer and quotation status in one comparison register. If the candidate differs from the old page, update schedules, quantities, approvals and commercial records with the current identity. Keep the archived title and image separate so they cannot override the approved present selection.
