How many bricks are in 1 cube of masonry?

One cubic meter of masonry (including seams) contains approximately 394 pieces of single brick or 302 pieces of one and a half bricks.

What wall thickness should I choose for my house?

For load-bearing walls of a residential building in the middle zone, the minimum thickness is 380 mm (1.5 bricks) plus insulation. Without insulation, to pass heating engineering standards, a wall with a thickness of more than 640 mm will be required.

This tool will calculate the amount of ordinary (building) bricks for load-bearing walls and partitions of any thickness.

How to choose the wall thickness?

When calculations, it is important to correctly indicate the type of masonry, since the material consumption changes multiples:

Half-brick (120 mm):Only for interior partitions. Not load-bearing.
One brick (250 mm):For garages, sheds or internal load-bearing walls.
One and a half bricks (380 mm): Minimum standard for load-bearing walls of a residential building (up to 2 floors).
Two bricks (510 mm):For permanent buildings with heavy floors and high heat capacity.

Foreman's advice

Always calculate volume in cubic meters (m³) if you buy ordinary brick. Many suppliers ship goods in pallets, focusing on volume, and not individually. Our calculator gives both values.
