Brick Bond - for non-load-bearing walls
Posted: August 6th, 2020, 10:08 am
Hi,
I saw several posts/articles showing English bond is better. But I've two questions:
1. Is this applicable even for framed structure - non-load bearing walls? Is that useful at all?
2. I see regularly bricks are placed horizontally and just avoid vertical alignment, what is this brick bond called?
3. If the answer to above question is "Strecher bond" - I saw it's not good if the wall thickness is more than half length of brick. I'm constructing my house with 9inch wall. So need to know if this English bond - will help - given non-load-bearing wall and 9inch thickness wall...
