Matt Terracotta Brick Tile for Floor Paving: 2013 Archive is retained as a source-aware guide to a LOPO entry from 2013. The archive presented a 200 × 200 × 12 mm format and used matt, red, Natural Clay and floor-paving language. The retained image filename is only a tracing clue; it is not treated as an Item No. or product model. It also listed packing, functions and an incomplete certification string. These are historical fields, not confirmation of present colour, surface, size, material, availability, application or performance.
Read the 2013 Archive in Context
The old page was a compact catalogue record rather than a current technical submission. It offers a source trail and appearance clue, but it does not identify a currently supplied successor or explain dimensional tolerances, surface variation, test scope, certification coverage or current commercial terms.
| Source identity status | No verified Item No. or product model; the image filename is only a tracing clue |
|---|---|
| Archived format | 200 × 200 × 12 mm |
| Archived appearance cues | Matt and red |
| Archived material wording | Natural Clay |
| Archived document fragment | GB/T19001-2000/ISO9001:200 |

The source image appears once and remains a historical visual. It cannot verify a current matt finish, red range, dimensions, material composition, floor use or product continuity.
Separate Matt and Red from Current Appearance
Matt is the old title’s surface description, while red appeared in the archived product fields. Neither term establishes a present finish standard, gloss level, shade range, texture or production availability. A photographed face can also change with lighting, exposure, colour management and display settings.
Ask for labelled current samples from one identified candidate and review more than one piece. Record product code, sample date, range position, surface, lighting and approval purpose. Keep the retained web image in the archive column of the comparison register, not in the current approval column.
Handle the Archived Square Format Carefully
The 200 × 200 × 12 mm notation can inform an initial search, but it is not a current promise. The archive does not define the order and status of the figures, tolerance, edge condition or whether a related format remains in production. Do not insert the old values into live drawings, schedules or quantities without a dated current product drawing.
If LOPO identifies a successor, compare its code, geometry, sample and quotation as a new record. This page gives no generic substrate, load, slope, joint-width, fixing or installation instruction. Project-specific floor design and coordination belong to qualified professionals working from current documents and the actual building context.
Preserve Old Claims Without Repeating Them as Facts
2013 archive boundary: Natural Clay, packing, floor paving, acid, antibacterial, heat insulation, non-slip, firebrick and wear wording belongs only to the former page. The truncated GB/T19001-2000/ISO9001:200 text is an incomplete historical fragment, not proof of a current certificate or product standard.
Natural Clay cannot be expanded into a current composition, sourcing or environmental declaration. Acid, antibacterial, heat-insulation, non-slip, firebrick and wear terms are not present test results or suitability conclusions. Firebrick language does not establish a current fire classification, and non-slip wording does not demonstrate behaviour in a particular floor environment.
For each criterion that matters, request current dated evidence naming the proposed product, specimen, method, result, issuer, scope and relevant market. Ask separately for current packing and commercial details. Keep a company-level certificate distinct from product evidence, and never reconstruct the missing end of the old ISO string by assumption.
Frame a Current Floor-Paving Review
Floor paving describes the archive’s former application wording. It does not confirm that the pictured legacy item or a related item is currently appropriate for an interior, exterior, wet, dry, public or private location. A useful present inquiry states the country, building use, intended area, exposure, traffic context, desired appearance, approximate quantity, programme and required evidence.
Keep the review roles clear. Labelled samples support appearance decisions; dated drawings describe the identified candidate; reports support only their named specimen and scope; a quotation records current availability and commercial terms. None of those records should borrow unverified fields from the 2013 page.
Use Current Product and Project Routes
Start with LOPO’s current terracotta floor tile page to discover products described today.
Review the terracotta project collection for visual scale and material context without transferring specifications.
Use the contact page to request current product identification, samples, drawings and documents.
Retain the source page separately as a 2013 record until a current written response connects or distinguishes a live product.
A current category page or project photograph is a discovery aid, not evidence that the archived matt red item remains available or suitable. Verify the exact candidate and every material decision in writing.
Request Current Floor-Paving Information
Share the project country, intended floor location, design stage, approximate area, desired matt red direction, preferred format, traffic context, programme and document list. Mention the retained source page and 200 × 200 × 12 mm only as archive references.
Email roger@lopoterracotta.com or use the contact form. Ask whether a current related product exists and request its precise identifier, labelled range samples, dated drawing, applicable evidence, packing information and quotation.
Maintain a register linking each response to its product code, sample label, document issuer, date, method, scope and status. If no current match is confirmed, leave the source page as history. If a successor is proposed, use its own current identity throughout the review rather than transferring the archive’s matt, red, paving, material, performance or certification wording.
Before internal approval, compare the archive reference with the current response line by line. Mark each field as confirmed, superseded, unavailable or still open. Require the same current code on samples, drawings, reports, packing response and quotation. This document discipline prevents an appealing matt red image or familiar square format from overriding a later product change.
