Key takeaways
- Running bond is the strongest and most common wall pattern.
- Stack bond looks modern but needs reinforcement.
- Herringbone resists movement, so it is great for driveways.
- Basketweave and Flemish bond add a traditional character.
A bond pattern is the way bricks are arranged. It affects the look and the strength.
Running bond
Each brick sits over the joint below, the classic wall pattern and the strongest.
Stack bond
Bricks line up in columns. It looks clean and modern, but it needs reinforcing steel because joints line up.
Herringbone
Bricks are set at an angle. It locks together, which makes it excellent for driveways and busy paths.
Basketweave
Pairs of bricks alternate direction like a woven basket. It is a classic patio pattern.
Flemish bond
Long and short faces alternate in each course for a traditional, refined look.
