How the calculation works

Brick Calculator

round up(Area ÷ ((Actual block / brick length + Joint width) × (Actual block / brick height + Joint width)) × (1 + Waste allowance / 100))

Before you order

  • Use the coverage, yield and dimensions printed on your product. Waste allowance is adjustable; real cuts and site conditions may change the order.
  • Planning estimate only. This is not a structural design, a safety approval or a local code check.

Worked example

Area
20 m²
Actual block / brick length
0.215 m
Actual block / brick height
0.065 m
Joint width
0.01 m
Waste allowance
10 %

Blocks / bricks 1,304

Units per m² 59.26 1/m2
