Brickwork bonding

Purpose of bonding

• When building with bricks , it is necessary to lay the bricks to some recognised pattern or bond in order to ensure stability of the structure and to produce pleasing appearance
  
• Various bonds are designed so that no vertical joint in any one course is directly above or below a vertical joint in the adjoining course .
• To give various bonds , special bricks are produced . Alternatively , the bricklayer can cut from whole bricks on site
