- hearder bond or heading bond is the one in which all the bricks are laid as headers on the faces of walls .
- width of the brick are thus along the direction of the wall
- pattern is used only when the thickness of the wall is equal to one brick ( i.e 19 cm)
- overlap is usually kept equal to half the width of bricks
- This is achieved by using three - quarter brick bats in each alternate courses as quoins.
- This bond does not have strength to transmit pressure in the direction of the length of the wall. As such it is unsuitable for load bearing walls
- It is useful for curved brick wark where the stretchers , if used would project beyond the face of the wall and would neccessitne inconvenient cutting
- It is also use din construction of footings
