Brick Bonds
Stretcher Bond
Stretcher bond is the commonest bond used today and the least interesting in
appearance. It can be made more interesting by laying a course of different coloured
bricks or to lay such bricks to form a pattern on a wall.
Flemish Bond
Flemish bond consists of alternating headers and stretchers along each course with the
headers centred on the stretchers above and below.
English Bond

English bond consists of alternating courses of headers and stretchers, with the
alternative headers centred over and under the vertical joints of the stretchers.
American common bond is similar to the English Bond but the courses of headers are
separated by approximately five courses of stretchers.
Use Flemish bond for a half brick width wall can give
a decorative finish but does require the use of quite a
few half bats (coloured green) and three quarter bats
(coloured red).
