Enter your wall's length and height to get brick count, mortar bags, and estimated cost for a standard single-wythe brick wall.
Estimate only — assumes standard modular brick (3.625 x 2.25 in face) with a 3/8 in joint.
The standard rule of thumb is about 7 bricks per square foot of wall for standard modular brick with a 3/8 in mortar joint (about 60 bricks per square meter for a 215 x 65 mm brick with a 10 mm joint). We multiply your wall area by that rate and add 10% waste. Mortar bags use another rule of thumb — about 7 bags per 1,000 bricks.
About 7 bricks per square foot for standard modular brick with a typical mortar joint — this varies slightly with brick size and joint thickness.
About 7 bags of mortar mix per 1,000 bricks is a common rule of thumb, though joint thickness and brick face size can shift this somewhat.
