The height of a brick typically measures 2-1/4 inches (2.25") for a standard modular brick. However, brick height can vary depending on the type and style of brick.
Here's a breakdown of common brick sizes and their heights:
- Modular Brick: This is the most common size, with a height of 2-1/4 inches.
- Engineer Modular Brick: Slightly taller, usually around 2-3/4 inches in height.
- Norman Brick: Longer than modular bricks, but typically with the same height, 2-1/4 inches.
- Queen Size Brick: Taller than modular bricks, typically around 2-3/4 inches in height.
- King Size Brick: Even larger in length and height, often around 2-3/4 inches in height.
- Thin Brick: These are purely aesthetic and come in varied dimensions, but can be made as thin as 1/2 inch and upwards.
Therefore, while 2-1/4 inches is the most common height, it's important to specify the brick type when determining the exact height.
