Choosing Brick Installation Contractor: A Step-By-Step Guide

Brick Pointing Nyc13 Jun, 2022Business

For our example, the wall is 10 feet long. The bricks are approximately 8 inches long plus the 3/8th or half-inch joint, so each is about 8.5 inches long. One course consists of 14.1 bricks because 10 ft is 120 inches, and 120 inches divided by 8 1 2 equals 14.1 inches. Rounding this up to 15 is appropriate here. A look at the wall reveals 20 courses; each course contains 15 bricks, for a total of 300 bricks. Keeping a few extra bricks on hand in case of cuts or breakage is a good idea. A brick wall would require 320 bricks, and it would take approximately nine bags of mortar of 60 pounds to erect 120 bricks. The brick installation cost is also easily manageable.
