A method of laying brick in which headers and stretchers alternate in each row to form a bond and give a cross-pattern.
a pattern in which bricks are laid where the bricks are arranged in an alternating pattern; the long side (stretcher) alternated with the short side (header). In the next level or course, the header appears above the stretcher and the header's joint. The header-stretcher alternating pattern continues on every course. American bond differs in that five courses of stretchers alternate with a header course
Brick bond of alternate headers and stretchers in each course
a system of laying bricks which creates diamondlike patterns in the finished wall through the alternation of short (header) and long (stretcher) faces of the bricks.
Method of brick laying where the long and short sides of bricks are set alternately using one, than the other, and staggering the rows above and below, so that the short side is above the long side of the surrounding rows.
a patterned brick building where you would have a short brick and a long brick
a type of brickwork in which alternate headers and stretchers in each course appear on the wall face.
