The width of a brick varies depending on the type of brick. According to the Brick Dimensions Guide, here are some standard brick widths:
Standard Brick Widths
| Brick Size | Width (in) |
|---|---|
| Standard | 3-5/8 |
| Jumbo Modular | 3-5/8 |
| Jumbo Standard Molded | 3-5/8 |
| Queen | 3-1/8 |
As you can see, the most common brick width is 3-5/8 inches, which is used for standard, jumbo modular, and jumbo standard molded bricks. Queen bricks have a slightly narrower width of 3-1/8 inches.
- Standard Bricks: These are widely used in various construction projects due to their classic size and versatility.
- Jumbo Modular Bricks: These are slightly larger than standard bricks in height and length, but have the same width, leading to faster construction.
- Queen Bricks: These are often used for their longer length, creating a more elongated look and saving labor.
It's important to note that these are nominal dimensions, meaning the actual dimensions might be slightly different due to manufacturing tolerances. When planning a construction project, it's always best to refer to the manufacturer's specific product information.
