Bricks contain colour and texture that help create style, but the way bricks are laid also adds to the design outcome.

Whether your project requires a traditional, uniform look or there's a requirement for something more unique, there are many patterns to choose from to bring your brick project to life. It's not just the pattern that affects the overall look of the brick bond pattern; the side of the bricks that is exposed will also contribute to the design. Some patterns use the side, face or end of the brick to create a design.

Proficient brick bonding, with a well-laid pattern, makes brickwork cohesive in both structure and composition, maximising its integrity, strength, and aesthetic appeal. By understanding the visual outcomes the various brick bond patterns create, you will be able to select the one that suits your project best. Below are the most common brick patterns used in bricklaying today.
