[edit] English Bond
I'm only a student of architecture, but wouldn't 3/4 of the bricks in an English bond be visible (one brick thick, one face visible)? The article says 3/4 of the bricks aren't visible. Atchius 19:51, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
Also we need to add stack bond. I don't know what it is. I'm using this article to study for a structures test. Atchius 19:58, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- It actually says "If only one face of an English bond wall is exposed, three quarters of the bricks are not visible". It means that you only see one header or stretcher face of each brick - 1 of 4 sides hence 3/4 of each brick not visible in the wall. The same is true for any other bond I can think of, so not sure why it has been stated explicitly for English bond. SilentC 21:24, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- reply to you
- stack bond is when the bricks arent in any pattern in all.
- pretend the word "brick" is a brick:
- brick brick brick brick brick
- brick brick brick brick brick
- and in between is the joints...
- thats stack bond... NEVER MAKE A BUILDING WITH THIS.
- purely for design
- by the way, im 15 and i take masonry in high school

- Haha, thanks for the pointer. It's unlikely that I would ever design a building that used bricks for structural purposes anyway. It's not done much anymore... but even brick veneer would look pretty silly with this layout. Don't forget to sign your comments with four tildes. Atchius 19:28, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
