WRS2363 Outdoor Split Brick Wall Tile Archive revisits a LOPO page published in 2013. The former title combined outdoor, facade and split-brick wording with a slender wall tile family. Those words are historical product and application clues. They do not establish a current split surface, exterior suitability, wall system or project performance. The old title does not prove suitability for any present outdoor facade.
Read the 2013 WRS2363 record
The archive identified WRS2363 and listed a 240 × 60 × 11 mm field brick plus two corner formats. It also contained full-body wording, about 4% water absorption, generic functions, uses, packing, container capacity, minimum order and lead-time fields. These are not a present data sheet or quotation.

The page’s only original image remains for recognition. It is not a current split-face sample, a calibrated colour benchmark or evidence of outdoor performance.
Define the intended split surface
Split may describe a fractured, cleft, relief or otherwise textured appearance, yet the old title does not define how the surface was made, its depth, direction, sheen, edge character or variation. Ask LOPO to identify the closest current surface and provide a clear description with representative samples.
Review labelled pieces under diffuse and grazing light, at close range and intended facade distance. Compare them beside stone, metal, glass, coatings and joint materials. Record product code, colour, finish, sample date and role. An approved physical range should govern appearance; the archive image is only a tracing aid.
Clarify outdoor and facade suitability
Outdoor wording does not identify climate, exposure, moisture, freeze-thaw conditions, salts, pollution or maintenance. Facade wording does not define substrate, attachment, interfaces or a complete wall. Current suitability must be evaluated for the real project and exact proposed product.
Share the project location, building type, wall zones and exposure conditions. Ask for dated product and system information with clear scope. The qualified project team should decide which evidence and approvals apply rather than transferring assumptions from an old title or another project.
Use formats and corners cautiously
The field format can guide early module studies, while the two corner notations may trace former return pieces. They do not confirm present geometry, tolerance, compatibility, appearance matching or availability. Request dated drawings and labelled samples for all current field and corner units.
Qualified professionals must resolve project-specific substrate, moisture, movement and interfaces using confirmed information. This archive provides no generic loads, spans, support spacing, anchors or installation instructions. If a successor differs from WRS2363, update elevations, quantities, samples and approvals together.
Apply the full historical boundary
Archive boundary: WRS2363, full-body and natural-surface wording, dimensions, about 4% absorption, acid, heat, non-slip, wear, firebrick, low absorption, high bending, anti-freeze, durability, non-radioactive, green and no-fade claims, uses, packing, 20-foot-container capacity, MOQ and lead times belong only to 2013.
These old terms do not establish present material, environmental, fire, strength, freeze-thaw, durability or colourfastness performance. Request current evidence that identifies the exact product, specimen, method, result, scope and market. Reconfirm formats, surfaces, corners, quantity, packaging, production and delivery in writing.
Keep samples, drawings, reports and quotation linked to one candidate. Separate appearance, product evidence, complete-wall review and commercial status in a dated register. Mark superseded information so it cannot overwrite the approved present proposal.

Request a current WRS2363 proposal
Share the project location, facade area, elevations, desired split texture and colour, exposure, corners, adjacent materials, approximate quantity and programme. Cite WRS2363 and the archived formats to support accurate tracing.
Email roger@lopoterracotta.com or use the contact form. Request current identification, representative samples, dated drawings, applicable evidence and project-specific commercial information.
Before selection, make sure sample codes match all drawings, reports and quotation. Record viewing conditions and project exposure during review. Update the decision log when the product, surface, evidence scope or supply status changes, retaining WRS2363 only as an archive cross-reference if a successor is offered.
For appearance review, classify every piece as inspiration, a representative range sample or a proposed production benchmark. Note the light, distance, adjacent finishes and date, because relief can read differently as sun angle changes. Confirm that current field and corner samples match the product drawings. If a successor is selected, retire WRS2363 from active schedules and update elevations and quantities together.
Create separate register fields for surface description, dimensions, corners, outdoor product evidence, complete-wall evidence and commercial status. Record each document issuer, date and scope. Project exposure assumptions should be visible for qualified reviewers without becoming generic directions. When climate, wall design, product identity or evidence changes, reopen the relevant decision rather than carrying an archive conclusion forward.
Before specification or purchase, reconcile the approved physical range with the exact drawings, project-relevant documents and quotation. Preserve superseded records separately so they cannot overwrite the present selection. This provides one traceable identity across appearance, technical and commercial reviews while retaining the old title only for historical discovery. Recheck the register after any change in product, exposure assumption, facade design or current documentation.
