Red Scraped External Wall Tiles preserves a LOPO archive entry from 2013. The page associated WR637 with a 240 × 60 × 11 mm main tile, two corner entries, full-body wording and old functional and commercial fields. Red, scraped and external describe the old record; they do not establish a current color, surface, exterior application or complete wall solution. Verify all present product, project and supply information independently.
Review the 2013 wall-brick entry
The archive included main and corner dimensions, approximately 4% water absorption and broad acid, heat, non-slip, wear and firebrick wording. It also contained applications, packing, 20-foot-container capacity, minimum order, sample timing and order lead-time fields. Every item is preserved as history rather than a current specification or quotation.
| Archived main format | 240 × 60 × 11 mm |
|---|---|
| Archived corner formats | (174 + 50) × 60 × 11 mm or (60 + 60) × 240 × 11 mm |
| Archived construction wording | Full-body tile |
| Archived absorption field | About 4% |
| Archived title cues | Red, scraped and external; all require current samples and project-specific evidence |
The original WR637 image remains once as archived. It can support early color and surface discussion, but it is not a calibrated red standard, a verified scraped-texture range or proof of exterior suitability.
Define Scraped Surface with Current Evidence
Scraped may have described linear marks, a dragged texture or another historic finish, but the title does not define profile, relief, direction or variation. Request current labelled samples and product information. View several pieces under diffuse and directional light so texture and edge character can be compared honestly.
Document the desired prominence and acceptable range. A current drawing or sample must establish the proposed surface; the WR637 title cannot.
Use a sample register to record product code, surface name, sample date, lighting, viewing distance and role. Compare multiple pieces to understand the proposed range rather than approving one unusually uniform or strongly marked face. This record gives designers and reviewers a shared current basis for appearance decisions.
Establish Red and External Use Separately
Terracotta red can lean orange, brick, brown, burgundy or more neutral. The old word and web image do not set a current control range. Compare representative current pieces with adjacent materials and retain labelled samples as the visual reference.
External is a separate project question. Current suitability, evidence and complete wall review depend on the actual building and responsible professionals. A color or texture approval does not confirm exterior performance.
Share the building location, wall context, design stage and required evidence when requesting a proposal. LOPO can identify current product information within its stated scope; the responsible project professionals review the complete external-wall concept. No generic structural or field-work instructions are provided, and the archive title is not a suitability conclusion.
Use archived formats only as design cues
The 240 × 60 mm face can inspire fine horizontal courses or vertical texture. The corner notations may trace former return pieces, yet they do not confirm current geometry, tolerance, colour matching, compatibility or supply. Request dated drawings for every proposed field and corner unit before updating elevations and quantities.
Qualified professionals must coordinate the building-specific substrate, movement, interfaces and wall proposal with current system information. This page offers no generic loads, spans, support spacing, anchors or installation instructions. If the current tile differs from the archive, revise design records, sample approvals and procurement information together.
Keep material and function claims historical
Archive boundary: full-body material wording, the main and corner dimensions, about 4% absorption, acid, heat, non-slip, wear and firebrick functions, uses, packing, 20-foot-container capacity, MOQ, sample timing and order lead time belong only to the 2013 page.
None of the old function terms establishes present performance, classification or project suitability. Heat-resistant or firebrick language is not a current fire conclusion. Ask for dated reports or declarations that identify the exact proposed product, specimen, method, result, scope and market. Let qualified project reviewers decide which criteria and approvals apply.
Reconfirm available sizes, surface, red range, corner units, quantity, packaging, minimum order, production window, delivery and payment in a current quotation. Keep samples, drawings, evidence and commercial records traceable to the same candidate so information from different tile families is not mixed.

Request a Current Red Scraped Tile Review
Share the country, wall location, drawings, approximate area, target red range, scraped-surface direction, corner conditions, destination and required documents. Mention WR637 and the archived main and corner formats as source references, not confirmed current specifications.
Email roger@lopoterracotta.com or use the contact form. Request current product identification, representative labelled samples, verified dimensions, applicable evidence and current commercial terms.
Create a dated comparison register for product code, appearance, dimensions, corners, sample role, drawing revision, evidence and commercial status. Keep visual approval separate from technical and supply review. If a successor product is offered, use its current identifier consistently and preserve the 2013 page only as a historical reference.
Before approval, confirm that current field and corner samples, drawings, evidence and commercial records all identify the same proposed tile. Update every linked record if the red range, scraped surface, dimensions or product identity changes.
