* A lap of half-width is available for each header in all the courses.
* This bond is generally provided in foundation work, in order to uniformly distributed the transverse load.

English Bond:
* It is the arrangement of bonding that consists of alternate courses of stretcher and header placed one over other.
* In order to break the alignment of vertical joints to be in the same straight line queen closer is placed next to the quoin header in each alternate course.
* Header courses must not start from queen closer as it is liable to get displace off.

Flemish Bond:
* It is the arrangement of bonding that consists of an alternate header and stretcher in each course.
* The header in each alternate course is centered over the stretcher in the course below it.

*In order to break the alignment of the vertical joint to be in the same straight line queen closer is placed next to the quoin header.
* For walls having a thickness greater than 1.5 brick thick, an English bond is found to be stronger than a Flemish bond, however, a Flemish bond renders a higher aesthetic appearance than an English bond.
* Flemish bond is more economical than the English bond.

Stretcher bond:
