This plain surface red brick wall tile for outdoor page preserves a LOPO record from 2013. The archive associated the WF770 image with a 240 × 60 × 11 mm main tile and two corner-brick descriptions. It also carried old material, performance, application and commercial statements. Those fields help identify the source record, but they do not confirm a current product, red finish, outdoor suitability, complete wall solution or supply offer. A live project requires current samples, verified dimensions and dated documents tied to the exact proposed material.
Archived WF770 Tile and Corner Dimensions
The 2013 record listed the main piece as 240 × 60 × 11 mm. Its corner entries were (174 + 50) × 60 × 11 mm and (60 + 60) × 240 × 11 mm. These values are historical identifiers only. They should not be copied into a drawing, schedule, quantity calculation or order without current written confirmation. The plus-sign notation also belongs to the old source and should not be reinterpreted here as a present geometry.
When contacting LOPO, state whether the archived module and corner appearance are central to the design or simply proportions for comparison. Ask for a current product code, verified dimensions, available companion pieces and documents that correspond to the proposed selection. That creates a clean current data set without silently updating WF770.
What the Original WF770 Image Can Show
The photograph can support an early conversation about a narrow brick proportion, red fired-clay character and a relatively quiet face. It cannot establish today’s color range, texture, edge definition, dimensional consistency or correspondence with a current sample. Lighting, age and screen display all change perception. Plain surface is therefore archive wording rather than a promise of perfectly smooth or uniform current production.
Review multiple current physical pieces beside neighboring facade materials. Record the selected product, sample date, desired warmth and acceptable visual range so the approval basis remains traceable.
At concept stage, compare the archive reference with more than one current finish direction. Consider how the narrow module reads at close range and across a larger wall, how the red clay relates to neighboring materials, and whether the desired result is quiet or visibly varied. These observations should be documented as appearance goals, not converted into technical claims.
Red and Plain Surface Are Design Directions
A red brick-like facade can read as earthy, warm, formal or highly textured depending on the current clay body, surface, light and joint expression. The old red label cannot define a present finish by itself. Likewise, plain should be translated into a visual brief: describe the desired texture level, tonal movement, edge character and relationship to glass, stone, metal, render or landscape.
Current samples can then be reviewed against that brief. A sample decision is aesthetic evidence only; it does not prove the archived performance statements or the behavior of the complete exterior wall.
A Wall Tile Is Not a Complete Outdoor Wall
The visible tile is one component in a project-specific exterior wall concept. The full proposal depends on the actual building, interfaces, exposure, applicable regulations and assigned responsibilities. The 2013 page does not define a current assembly or show that WF770 is suitable for every outdoor condition. LOPO can provide current information within its stated product and supply scope, while the responsible architect, consultant, contractor and local professionals review the overall proposal.
This page intentionally gives no generic structural or field-work instructions. Project decisions should use current drawings, current product information and evidence selected for the actual location.
A useful review register separates appearance decisions, verified product fields, project evidence and commercial information. Record dates and document identities, and leave unanswered questions open rather than filling them with the archived dimensions or benefit wording. This creates a traceable path from visual inspiration to a current proposal.
2013 Performance and Commercial Record
| Historic main size | 240 × 60 × 11 mm |
|---|---|
| Historic corner sizes | (174 + 50) × 60 × 11 mm; (60 + 60) × 240 × 11 mm |
| Historic absorption wording | Approximately 4%; archive value only |
| Old functional labels | Acid, heat, non-slip, wear and firebrick wording; not current proof |
| Old application wording | Historic use descriptions only; current project review required |
| Old commercial fields | Packing, 20-foot-container capacity, MOQ and lead time entries; request current terms |
| Status | 2013 archive record pending complete current confirmation |
Archive boundary: Old clay-composition language, dimensions, corner sizes, approximately 4% absorption, acid resistance, heat resistance, non-slip, wear, firebrick, use, packing, container capacity, MOQ and delivery claims are not current declarations. No historic value proves present product or complete-wall performance, including fire performance. Request dated evidence whose identity and scope match the exact current proposal.
Prepare a Current Wall-Tile Inquiry
Share the project country, building use, wall location, elevations, approximate area, preferred red-clay direction and required documents. Explain whether the WF770 proportion and historical corners are desired references. Ask for current samples, verified sizes, available companion pieces, composition information, applicable test or compliance documents, packing, commercial minimums and lead time basis.
Use LOPO’s current terracotta facade tile information, terracotta cladding projects and wall-cladding terracotta tile gallery to organize current product and design questions. These pages offer discovery context; they do not transfer another product’s evidence to WF770.
Discuss a Plain Red Wall-Tile Direction
To review a current tile related to this archive, visit the LOPO contact page or email roger@lopoterracotta.com. Include the archive URL, drawings, approximate quantity, destination, sample direction and document list. LOPO can respond with current information while keeping every 2013 specification, performance label and commercial field clearly historical.
