Find how many bricks and mortar you need for a wall
Frequently Asked Questions
Divide the wall's area by the face area of one brick (including its mortar joint on two sides), then multiply by the number of brick thicknesses (wythes) in the wall.
10mm (about 3/8 inch) is the standard mortar joint thickness, added to both the length and height of each brick's footprint.
Roughly one bag of mortar mix (80 lb) per 40-45 bricks, though this varies with joint thickness and brick size.
A single leaf is one brick thick (half-brick wall, common for veneer); a double leaf (solid wall) is two bricks thick and needs twice the bricks per square foot.
