English bondThis bond is made up of alternating courses of stretchers and
headers. This produces a solid wall that is a full brick in width.
English bond is fairly easy to lay and is the strongest bond for a
one-brick-thick wall. If only one face of an English bond wall is
exposed, one quarter of the bricks are not visible, and hence may be
of low visual quality.Flemish bondFlemish Bond has historically always been considered the most
decorative bond, and for this reason was used extensively for
dwellings until the adoption of the cavity wall. It is created by
alternately laying headers and stretchers in a single course. The
next course is laid so that a header lies in the middle of the
strecher in the course below. Again, this bond is one brick thick.
It is quite difficult to lay Flemish bond properly, since for best
effect all the perps (vertical mortar joints) need to be vertically
aligned. If only one face of an Flemish bond wall is exposed, one
third of the bricks are not visible, and hence may be of low visual
quality. This is a better ratio than for English bond, Flemish
bond's main rival for load-bearing walls. |
Monk Bond is a variant of Flemish Bond, with two stretchers between
the headers in each row, and the headers centred over the join
between the two stretchers in the row below.Garden Wall bondThese bonds are variations on normal bonds. They use a high
proportion of stretchers, and hence require fewer facing bricks than
normal bonds. This makes them less sturdy, but cheaper to lay. As
such they are most commonly used for garden- and other
non-load-bearing walls.Herringbone bondWhen bricks are laid on alternating angles, it is called a
Herringbone. This is primarily a decorative style, more often used
for paving or fireplace reflectors than for walls.Basket bondThis decorative pattern imitates the weave of a basket. It's also
sometimes called a basket weave bond, and there are many variations
on the weave pattern, some very elaborate. |
