![]() This type of bond has a better aesthetic look and possesses greater strength than English bond. In this case, the alternate stretcher course has a header placed next to the quoin stretcher. A header is placed next to the 3/4 th bat in every alternate stretcher course. The difference is in the use of 3/4 th bat in stretcher course as quoin. The alternate courses in this type are same as English bond. The only disadvantage of this bond is that it cannot be used for walls of thickness less than 1½ brick and in some portions, long vertical joints are unavoidable. Single Flemish bond: In this case, the outer faces of walls have a Flemish look, whereas inner faces have the English bond look. It is easy to maintain the correct breaking of joints in this bond, as the number of joints is the consecutive courses are the same, and a fairly uniform face is obtained on both sides of a one-brick wall. each course consists of alternate header and stretcher. These bonds are of two types:ĭouble Flemish bond: In this, both faces of the wall have a Flemish look, i.e. To break vertical joints, queen closers are used if the course starts with a header and every header is centrally supported on the stretcher below it. Alternate courses start with stretcher and header. In this type of bond, each course comprises of alternate header and stretcher. To break the continuity of vertical joints, a queen closer is used at the beginning of a wall and end of a wall after the first header. This is the strongest of all bonds and is, commonly used for walls of all thicknesses. In this bond, alternate courses consist of headers and stretchers. ![]() This type of bond is useful for the construction of one-brick thick walls. In such type of construction, all bricks are arranged in the header courses. This type of bonds is used for partition walls that are half-brick thick. Care should be taken to break vertical joints by using ½ brickbats. In this type of bond, all the bricks are arranged in the stretcher courses. A brief description of them is below: Stretcher bond: There are various types of bonds generally used in brickworks.
