This outdoor terracotta wall decoration material page preserves a LOPO record first published in 2013. The historic entry identified panel model FG501826, a former 500 × 900 × 18 mm format, and a yellow color. Its sole original photograph remains below. These facts belong to the archive and do not establish current availability or performance. Former absolute environmental, durability, weather, maintenance, fire, structural, acoustic, energy, or color claims must not be presented as current conclusions. A new project requires current product data, physical samples, a coordinated facade proposal, and dated evidence relevant to the building and market.
Historic Identity of FG501826
FG501826 is the model associated with the 2013 outdoor wall-decoration record. The former 500 × 900 × 18 mm dimensions and yellow color help identify the archived panel, but they do not confirm a present product, feasible format, tolerance, composition, finish, or system relationship. The page remains useful for an early design conversation about a larger rectangular terracotta module with a warm yellow direction. A current inquiry should clarify whether the old format is essential to the elevation or simply a proportion reference. LOPO can then identify an active product, representative sample, feasible dimensions, and current project information rather than assuming continuity from the former code.
Reading the Original Terracotta Facade Image
The photograph shows terracotta panels as a repeated fired-clay facade field with horizontal emphasis and warm color. It provides useful material and composition context, but it is not a calibrated image of current FG501826 production and does not establish the archived yellow as a present sample. Light, photography, screen display, and age affect perception. The image also cannot confirm today’s panel geometry, surface, edge appearance, composition, reverse form, or project compatibility. Use it to describe the intended palette and module rhythm, then review several current physical pieces carrying the same product identity as the current proposal and documents.
Yellow Terracotta as an Outdoor Design Direction
The historic yellow can be interpreted as a warm clay direction rather than a fixed universal color. A contemporary facade may compare that palette with stone, glass, metal, brick, render, planting, or darker terracotta accents. The relevant design questions include base tone, surface character, accepted variation, module proportion, and the way the material reads in sun and shade. These decisions should be made with current samples under project conditions. The 2013 color wording and photograph must remain archive references. Record the selected current product, sample date, and visual range so clients, architects, consultants, and contractors review the same material.
The former page also contained broad functional and performance language. Absolute statements about environmental qualities, permanent color, water behavior, self-cleaning, maintenance, strength, fire, acoustics, thermal effects, or universal suitability are not current evidence. An archived technical table records only its former panel and test context. It cannot establish declarations for a current product or complete wall. Current copy, schedules, and approvals should state only what dated documents for the exact proposed panel support. If project criteria are required, the responsible team should define them and review the corresponding current evidence.
Outdoor Wall Material and System Context
A decorative terracotta panel is the visible facing, not the complete exterior wall. A current proposal should identify the panel and its project role together with the supporting system scope, substrate interface, cavity and insulation strategy, membranes, fire-safety provisions, movement and perimeter conditions, drainage approach, and package responsibilities appropriate to the building. These are coordination subjects, not generic construction instructions. They vary with geometry, exposure, regulations, market, and design responsibility. The 2013 page cannot resolve them. Project decisions should rely on current drawings, current product and system information, reviewed samples, and the responsible team’s defined requirements.

Information for a Current Outdoor Wall Inquiry
Provide the building type, project country, elevation drawings, approximate facade area, preferred module and yellow-clay direction, companion finishes, delivery destination, and schedule. Explain whether FG501826, the former 500 × 900 × 18 mm format, or simply a warm panel palette is the priority. Ask LOPO for current product identification, composition, feasible dimensions, representative samples, expected visual variation, project system scope, package boundaries, lead time, packing, and applicable technical and compliance documents. Review the current terracotta rainscreen range and keep the selected sample and current evidence aligned across project records.
