Estimate facing bricks including mortar-joint dimensions.
How this works
Divide wall face by the module area (brick length + joint) × (height + joint).
Example
Using the example inputs, bricks including allowance is 755 bricks.
Net wall face
100 ft²
Brick length
7.625 in
Brick height
2.25 in
Joint width
0.375 in
Extra allowance
10 %
Bricks including allowance
755 bricks
Scope and assumptions
Single facing layer; corners, bond patterns and cuts need separate planning. Quantity/geometry estimate only. Not structural design, building-code approval, or installation instructions.
