English Bond

Makes a 9" (215 mm) wall

The bond consists of alternate rows of stretchers and headers

Flemish Bond

Similar to English, but has pairs of stretchers laid with the headers between them

It is weaker than English due to continuous vertical joints

Open Bond

Purely decorative, this type of wall is basically stretcher bond with spaces between the bricks

Each space is equal to a quarter of the brick length
