English Bond
Alternative courses of headers and stretchers; one header
placed centrally above each stretcher. This is a very strong bond when the wall
is 1 brick thick (or thicker)
English Garden Wall Bond
An
alternative version of English bond with header courses being inserted at every
fourth or sixth course. This is a correspondingly weaker bond.
Alternate
bricks are placed as header and stretcher in every course. Each header is
placed centrally between the stretcher immediately above and below. This is not
as strong as the English bond at 1 brick thick
Flemish Garden Wall Bond
Like English Garden Wall bond, this was originally intended for use in
solid walls which were required to be
fair faced both sides.
The number of stretchers is increased and three stretchers are laid to one
header in each course.
Stretcher Bond
Originally
used for single brick walls, now called 1/2 brick walls it became the obvious
choice for cavity walls as less cutting was required.
