1.5 : 砖块尺寸

The dimensions of a brick are determined by three measurements: its width, height, and length.

Typically, bricks are sized to build walls in modules of 4 inches or 8 inches or multiples of these sizes in width.

Bricks suiting these measurements are known as modular bricks. The nominal size of a brick refers to its listed dimension, which incorporates the thickness of the mortar joint used in construction.

Bricks come in various dimensions, including but not limited to Modular, Engineer Modular, Closure Modular, Roman, Norman, Utility, and Meridian.

The nominal dimensions of utility bricks are approximately 4 inches in height and width, and 12 inches in length. These dimensions include the thickness of the mortar.

Exactly four and one-half modular bricks are required to complete the area covered by two utility bricks. A wall made with large bricks can alter how observers perceive the size of the wall.

For buildings that feature unique details, decorations, or unconventional shapes, custom brick sizes and shapes are often necessary to accommodate these distinctive architectural elements.
