The size of a standard brick is typically 3-5/8 inches wide, 2-1/4 inches high, and 8 inches long.
While this is considered the "standard" brick size, it's important to note that variations exist. Different types of bricks are manufactured for specific purposes, and their dimensions can differ slightly.
Here's a table illustrating the dimensions of various brick sizes:
| Brick Size | Size (in) (W x H x L) |
|---|---|
| Standard | 3-5/8 x 2-1/4 x 8 |
| Jumbo Modular | 3-5/8 x 2-3/4 x 7-5/8 |
| Jumbo Standard Molded | 3-5/8 x 2-5/8 x 8 |
| Queen | 3-1/8 x 2-3/4 x 9-5/8 |
Therefore, while the "standard brick" has the dimensions listed at the beginning, always confirm the exact dimensions required for your specific construction project with your brick supplier or architectural plans. Belden Brick Dimensions Guide provides a useful guide to brick dimensions.
