Stretcher Bond
The normal bond for walls of half-brick thickness
Stretcher with Snap-Headers
An easy way to improve the appearance of half-brick walling. A variety of patterns is possible
to the header, to maintain the bond
Also, since the lap is now only ¼-brick, in a single-skin wall, reinforcement is required if this bond is used in a load-bearing capacity
Raking Stretcher Bond
Economical and more interesting than normal Stretcher Bond, but joints tend to become very prominent unless mortar colour is chosen with care
¼-lap, Queen Closers, ½ and ¾ bats are inserted on consective courses
English Bond
A strong bond and easy to lay, but it has a certain monotony of appearance
The diagram opposite illustrates the bonding of a 1½ brick-wide return corner
More economical in facing bricks than true English Bond
Frequency of header courses can vary
Flemish Bond
A simple pattern which is sometimes thought to give a more attractive appearance than English Bond
Flemish Garden Wall Bond
This requires a fair area of wall to show the pattern, and perpends need to be kept true, especially if the headers differ from the stretchers in colour
Monk Bond
Has two stretchers to one header in each course with the headers staggered
Complicated to lay but gives an interesting appearance

Notice the position of the ¾-bats at the quoin, or nextto the header, to maintain the bond
Also, since the lap is now only ¼-brick, in a single-skin wall, reinforcement is required if this bond is used in a load-bearing capacity

There must headers and stretchers at the ends, to continue the bond round the return. To generate the¼-lap, Queen Closers, ½ and ¾ bats are inserted on consective courses

English Bond
A strong bond and easy to lay, but it has a certain monotony of appearance
English Bond - page 30
This is usually a double-skin wall with a row of stretchers and then a row of headersEnglish Bond - page 30

English Garden Wall BondMore economical in facing bricks than true English Bond
Frequency of header courses can vary
English Garden Wall Bond - page 30
This is usually a double-skin wall with three courses of stretchers and then a course of headersEnglish Garden Wall - page 30
The diagram opposite illustrates the bonding of a 1½ brick-wide return corner
The drawing below, shows an elevation with the headers in red
Header courses can be on every 3rd or 5th courses
More than that, the wall will look too much like Stretcher Bond

Flemish Bond
A simple pattern which is sometimes thought to give a more attractive appearance than English Bond

This has alternate headers and stretchers on the same courseFlemish Bond - page 31

Flemish Garden Wall Bond
This requires a fair area of wall to show the pattern, and perpends need to be kept true, especially if the headers differ from the stretchers in colour
Flemish Garden Wall Bond - page 31
This has three stretchers and then a header. Since there are less headers, tying the wall together, it is slightly weakerFlemish Garden Wall Bond - page 31

Complicated to lay but gives an interesting appearance
It takes 11 courses before this pattern is repeated
Flemish Cross Bond
Similar to Flemish, but with two additional headers in place of a stretcher
Needs a large wall area to display well
Stack Bond
Used mainly for panel infils as it is not a good bond
for strength
Basket Pattern
One of many possible decorative bonds
Projecting Bricks
Frequency and size of projections need relating to size
of wall and distance from which it is seen
Header / Brick-on-Edge
This unusual bond gives a very strong horizontal emphasis
It is rare because the top of the brick becomes the face, so all the indents will be seen
Quetta Bond
Vertical reinforcement in the voids, which are then filled with mortar
This reinforcement is usually connected to foundations, floors and roof
The elevation looks the same as Flemish
