How many thin bricks per square foot?

Published in Building materials 1 min read

The number of thin bricks needed per square foot depends on the size of the thin brick. Based on the provided reference, here's a breakdown for different sizes:

  • King: 4.8 bricks per square foot
  • Norman: 4.8 bricks per square foot
  • Utility: 4.8 bricks per square foot

It appears the reference only provides data where these three sizes result in the same bricks per square foot. If the thin bricks are a different size, the number needed per square foot will vary. To calculate this for a different size, you would need to calculate the area of a single brick and divide 144 (the number of square inches in a square foot) by that area.

For example, Modular thin bricks are listed by linear foot, not square foot, indicating they are likely for edge caps.

Therefore, without knowing the specific dimensions of the thin brick in question, the answer can vary. If you're using King, Norman, or Utility sized thin bricks as defined in the reference, you would need 4.8 bricks per square foot.
