Reading the chart. Dimensions are thickness × height × length. Brick / SF = 144 ÷ [(height + 3/8) × (length + 3/8)]. Coursing is the number of courses and their combined wall height, including exact 3/8″ joints: three Modular courses measure 7-7/8″. All drawings use one shared scale.

¹ Confirm with manufacturer. A dash means details are needed. Mortar depends on cores, bedding, and the veneer system; ask us for a project estimate. Confirm dimensions, plant, and order quantities before purchasing.

Stretcher uses length along the wall; rowlock and header use thickness; soldier uses face height. Thin brick depth ranges need a selected thickness for rowlock and header quantities.

Nominal dimensions add a 3/8″ joint to each actual dimension unless a coordinating size is specified. Thin brick thickness ranges describe available veneer depths.
