Question

Flemish bond is expensive than English bond.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was addressed to me in unit test.

My query is from Brick Masonry topic in section Building Construction of Basic Civil Engineering

Answer 1

The correct answer is (b) False

For explanation I would say: Number of bricks required in Flemish bond is less than that required in English bond. It is because each course has a header and stretcher, which occupies more space than header or stretcher when placed individually.
