RedRhino Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 I guess it makes sense to nudge the dimensions on a timber frame house so that there is an exact integer number of brick slips around windows / doors / corners etc. Can someone explain a bit more please. Is there an existing thread? Matching dimensions to whole bricks - is that a dark art or standard practise? Is it only realistic for heights or widths as well? Are brick slips that standard in manufacture? Are all bricks the same size? I can imagine a worst case scenario where we take a whole lot more time and effort but through tolerance stack up, instead of some fitting and some not, all the bricks are just out and need trimming. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 There are brick dimensions charts that you can download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxe307 Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 The brick development association has a number of useful resources available: https://www.brick.org.uk/uploads/downloads/04.-Designing-to-brickwork-dimensions-Techical-Guide-2023.f1678701338.pdf Its only useful if you are using 215 x 65mm sized bricks however.
