Frequently Asked Questions
How is the number of bricks calculated?
Divide the total wall area by the area covered by one brick (including mortar joints). A waste allowance of 5-10% is typically added for breakage and cutting.
What is the standard brick size?
Standard brick dimensions vary by region. A common modular brick is 194×92×57mm (7⅝×3⅝×2¼ inches) with a 10mm (⅜ inch) mortar joint, requiring about 50 bricks per square meter.
How do I account for windows and doors?
Subtract the area of windows, doors, and other openings from the total wall area before calculating. This calculator allows you to enter opening areas separately.
