    English Bond

    English bond consists of alternating courses of headers and stretchers with vertical joints aligned. To break vertical joint alignment between courses, a queen closer brick is placed after the first header. Additional notes include: headers should not start a course; stretchers must overlap headers by 1/4 length; walls with even brick thickness have same appearance on both sides; walls with odd thickness show different facing on each side; thick walls fill the center with headers; header joints are thinner than stretcher joints due to fewer joints.

    English Bond

    English bond consists of alternate course of headers and stretches. In this English bond
    arrangement, vertical joints in the header courses come over each other and the vertical joints in
    the stretcher course are also in the same line. For the breaking of vertical joints in the successive
    course it is essential to place queen closer, after the first header in each heading course. The
    following additional points should be noted in English bond construction:
    (1) In English bond, a heading course should never start with a queen closer as it is liable to get
    displaced in this position.
    (2) In the stretcher course, the stretchers should have a minimum lap of 1/4th their length over
    the headers.
    (3) Walls having their thickness equal to an even number of half bricks, i.e., one brick thick wail,
    2 brick thick wall, 3 brick thick wall and so on, present the same appearance on both the faces,
    i .e. a course consisting of headers on front face will show headers on the back face also.
    Isometric view of 1 brick wall in English bond is shown below,

    (4) In walls having their thickness equal to an odd number of half brick, i.e. 1 brick thick walls
    or 2 brick thick walls and so on, the same course will show stretchers on one face and headers
    on the other.
    (5) In thick walls the middle portion is entirely filled with header to prevent the formation of
    vertical joints in the body of the wall.
    (6) Since the number of vertical joints in the header course is twice the number of joints in the
    stretcher course, the joints in the header course are made thinner than those in the stretcher
    course.
