- Bricks are stacked directly on top of each other, creating a strong, simple pattern.
- Often used for decorative purposes.
Flemish Bond:
- Alternating headers (short side of the brick) and stretchers (long side of the brick) are used to create a repeating pattern.
- Offers a visually appealing and strong bond.
English Bond:
- Alternating courses of headers and stretchers are used in a repeating pattern.
- Provides a robust structural bond.
Herringbone Bond:

Sailor Bond:
- Similar to a running bond, but with alternating courses of full bricks and half bricks.
