This terracotta exterior wall wood panel page preserves a LOPO record from 2013. The historic entry associated model LW1510616 with a former 300 × 600/900 × 12 mm and 150 × 600/900 × 12 mm format and wood color. Its single original facade photograph is retained below. These details identify the archive; they do not establish a currently available product, present dimensions, color or complete wall solution. Former wording about “100% natural clay,” absolute environmental benefits and multiple performance qualities also remains historical. A current project requires dated product information, representative samples and evidence applicable to its location and intended use.
Historic Identity of LW1510616
LW1510616 is the code recorded on the old exterior wall wood panel page. The archived size and wood color description help distinguish this entry from neighboring records, but they do not confirm current feasibility, tolerances, material composition, finish or system relationship. The word wood is historic appearance language, not proof that the panel contains timber or that a current wood-grain finish is available.
For a live inquiry, explain whether the archived wide and narrow module families are central to the elevation or simply an early reference. LOPO can then compare the design direction with its current terracotta rainscreen and facade panel range, identify a current product and provide samples and documents connected to that proposal.
Reading the Original Facade Panel Image
The photograph shows a repeated fired-clay facade field and offers useful context for module rhythm, joint expression and warm material character. It does not prove that the pictured panels are current LW1510616 production or that their displayed color precisely represents the archived wood color. Lighting, image age and screen settings affect perception. The photograph cannot confirm today’s geometry, surface, edge detail, reverse form, composition or project compatibility.
Use the image to communicate broad architectural intent, then review current physical samples that carry the same product identity as the proposal. Record the sample date, color range and finish chosen for the project so the archived photograph remains a design reference instead of becoming an unsupported approval standard.
Review the Historic Wood-Color Direction
The 2013 wood-color description may help a team express interest in a warmer, grain-related facade character. It does not identify a current pattern, texture, production method or approved finish. The shared photograph cannot confirm the precise appearance of LW1510616, and screen display is not a reliable sample. Treat both the title and color field as archive search clues only.
A current brief should describe the intended warmth, grain scale, contrast, surface and relationship to adjacent materials. Ask LOPO for physical samples linked to a currently identified terracotta product. Review several pieces together, then record the selected sample basis and acceptable visual range. This preserves the architectural intention without converting old wood wording into an unsupported present claim.
Exterior Cladding Is More Than a Visible Panel
The fired-clay facing is one part of a project-specific exterior wall. The complete proposal must be coordinated with the building design, interfaces, environmental exposure, applicable regulations and divided responsibilities. Those subjects depend on the actual project and should be addressed by the responsible team using current drawings and product information. The 2013 page cannot define a complete contemporary system or substitute for that review.
This distinction matters when the archive uses broad terms such as exterior wall wood panel. LOPO can respond about a proposed current ceramic product, samples and available supporting information. The appropriate project professionals can then evaluate the full facade concept and determine which current evidence is required. No generic system claim should be inferred from the archived title.

Archive notice: The old model, dimensions, wood color, environmental language, applications, certifications, benefit list and generic technical table are retained only as 2013 history. Absolute statements about sustainability, durability, weather behavior, maintenance, color permanence, strength, fire, acoustics, thermal effects or universal suitability are not current evidence. Figures from the old table cannot establish the properties of a present panel or complete facade. Request dated documents for the exact proposed product and destination market.
Prepare a Current Cladding Inquiry
Share the project country, building use, elevation drawings, approximate facade area, preferred module proportion, wood-color direction, companion finishes, delivery destination and program. State whether LW1510616 and the former 300 × 600/900 × 12 mm and 150 × 600/900 × 12 mm format are required references or whether the main goal is a similar visual character. Ask LOPO for the current product identity, feasible dimensions, composition, representative samples, expected visual range, project system scope, package boundaries, lead-time information and relevant technical or compliance documents.
Browse LOPO’s terracotta facade project references and architectural terracotta gallery for current design context. Precedents can inform material and composition discussions, but they do not transfer another project’s product evidence to LW1510616.
Discuss a Wood Color Terracotta Facade
To review a current exterior wall cladding direction related to this archive, contact LOPO or email roger@lopoterracotta.com. Include the archive URL, drawings, approximate area, destination, preferred wood color character and required documents. LOPO can respond with current samples and product information without presenting the 2013 specification or claims as current. The response should distinguish every archive reference from current items and date the supporting material supplied for review.
