Weathering-Resistant Red Brick Wall Tile: 2013 Archive Guide preserves a short 2013 LOPO page without turning its headline into a current performance claim. The old Item No field was missing or replaced by repeated title text. Only the image filename and former alt context point to WRS6343, so that string is retained as an image-tracing clue—not reconstructed as a reliable product field.
Review the 2013 decorative 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 Item No | Not reliably stated; WRS6343 is an image-tracing clue only |
|---|---|
| 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 claims | Weathering resistant and red; both require current evidence or samples |
The old page’s only body image remains for recognition. It is not a calibrated red benchmark, proof of weathering behaviour, confirmation of an Item No or evidence of current production.
Keep weathering resistance unverified
“Weathering resistant” does not identify an exposure, duration, test method, specimen, result, report, climate or acceptance criterion. It cannot establish current resistance to moisture, freeze-thaw cycling, salts, ultraviolet exposure, staining or any other project condition.
State the actual building location and exterior exposure, then ask for current documentation for the exact proposed tile. Qualified project professionals should determine which evidence is relevant and whether it addresses the complete wall. The archived headline and WRS6343 image clue cannot replace that review.
Establish the intended red range
Terracotta red may lean orange, brick, brown, burgundy or cooler crimson. Body, firing, surface and lighting influence the result. The 2013 word “red” does not set an undertone, shade range or control standard, and a web image cannot govern colour approval.
Compare a representative current set beside glazing, metal, stone, coatings and joint materials. Identify lighter, typical and darker outcomes rather than approving one attractive piece. Photograph the review for coordination, but retain labelled physical samples as the appearance benchmark. Keep the accepted red range connected to one current product and production proposal.
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: the missing or repeated Item No field, WRS6343 image clue, weathering-resistant and red wording, full-body material, 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 2013.
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.

Reference projects can sharpen colour and scale decisions, but their exact materials, assemblies, evidence and approvals do not transfer automatically.
Request a current red wall-tile proposal
Share the project location, wall area, exterior exposure, elevation extracts, target red range, desired surface, corner conditions, adjacent materials, approximate quantity and programme. Include the archive URL and say that WRS6343 is only the retained image reference, not a verified Item No.
Email roger@lopoterracotta.com or use the contact form. Request a current product identifier, representative red samples, dated drawings, applicable weathering evidence and project-specific terms.
Create a register for current product code, colour, surface, dimensions, corners, sample role, drawing revision, evidence method and scope, and commercial status. Do not insert WRS6343 into the product field unless reliable current or historical documentation explicitly supports that identity.
Review several pieces under relevant light, then confirm that sample labels match the drawings, reports and quotation. If a current candidate cannot be linked to the old page, preserve the image separately as visual history and proceed only with the new identified product.
Maintain a provenance note for the missing Item No field. Record exactly where WRS6343 appears—the image filename and historic image context—and where it does not appear as reliable structured product data. This prevents later editors from turning a cautious trace into a false catalogue fact.
Separate visual approval of red colour from technical review of weathering evidence. Note the specimen, method, date, declared scope and current product identifier on each submission, leaving any unsupported project requirement visibly unresolved.
