To maintain the bond, bricks are often cut to fit
Common shapes have specific names
This cut is ½ brick
These are often used at corners and the quickest method is to mark the cut with
a header
Length of a brick = 215mm
Minus 10mm for joint = 205mm
205 divided by 2 = approx 100mm
This cut is ¾ the length of a brick
However, bricks can vary in size,
so the best method is to cut it
to match the bond and maintain
the perps
The size is approx 160mm
This is ½ brick, cut lengthways
It is commonly used to maintain the bond for English and Flemish brickwork
The measurement is 56mm
This is a mitred brick, but the cut has
an exact position. It is from ½ header
to ½ stretcher
This brick has been sliced along its length
It is laid flat and used to bring the brickwork up to gauge
For example, above lintels, where the steel or concrete beam does not work courses
These are like brick veneers
The thickness is approx ⅛ brick and so the usual size is 25mm, but this can vary
The length is a standard brick
Here are similar examples from Nash
