Decorative Split Face Brick Veneer preserves a LOPO page from 2013. The archive associated WR236 with a 240 × 60 × 11 mm main format, two corner descriptions, full-body wording and broad functional and commercial fields. Decorative, split face and veneer are old title cues. They do not prove a current texture, product category, application, material or complete wall solution. Current conclusions require samples and documents tied to the proposed product and project.
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 | Decorative, split face and veneer; archive title wording only, current sample and project confirmation required |
The original WR236 image remains once as archived. It can suggest a split-face visual direction, but it is not a calibrated texture range, proof of veneer suitability or evidence of current production.
Define Split-Face Appearance with Current Samples
Split face may imply a cleft, rough or strongly varied surface, but the title does not define relief depth, texture scale, edge character or normal range. Ask LOPO to identify a current product and provide representative labelled pieces. Review several samples rather than assuming one dramatic face represents production.
Record texture prominence, fired-clay character, viewing distance, lighting and relationship to adjacent finishes. This current appearance brief helps compare options without turning the old phrase into a technical promise.
Use a sample register to identify the current product, finish, sample date, viewing condition and role of each piece. Compare multiple faces so the team can distinguish a representative split range from an unusually quiet or dramatic sample. Retain labelled current pieces as the appearance basis and the archive image only as context.
Decorative and Veneer Need Project Review
Decorative identifies an architectural goal, while veneer suggests an archived wall role. Neither establishes present product suitability or a complete assembly. Share the building and wall context, design stage and evidence requirements with LOPO. The responsible professionals review the overall project proposal independently.
Keep visual approval tied to current samples. It does not verify archived absorption, acid, heat, non-slip, wear or firebrick statements.
Provide the project country, wall context, design stage and evidence needs when requesting a proposal. LOPO can respond within its stated product scope, while responsible professionals assess the actual wall concept. No generic structural or field-work instructions are offered, and veneer is not treated as a universal suitability claim.
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.

Reference projects can sharpen colour and scale decisions, but their exact materials, assemblies, evidence and approvals do not transfer automatically.
Request a Current Split-Face Brick Veneer
Share the project country, wall location, elevations, approximate area, desired split-face texture, clay palette, corner conditions, destination and documentation needs. Mention WR236 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 use the same product identity. If any item changes, update the comparison register so the archive cannot overwrite the live selection.
