I am sure it's not every day that people ask what is the size of a standard brick. But the engineer in me jumps with joy when I see people interested in knowing these intricate details. People who are building their homes should know about this.
You should know that India boasts two main brick sizes: the modular brick and the non-modular brick.
The standard brick size in India is 190 mm x 90 mm x 90 mm, as per the BIS guidelines.When the mortar is thick, the bricks' dimensions shift to 200 mm x 100 mm x 100 mm, which is sometimes referred to as the nominal size of the modular brick.
What is a Standard Size Brick for House Construction?
Most face bricks measure 215 mm by 65 mm by 102.5 mm (length, height, and width), which is standard for construction bricks. The dimensions of a standard concrete frame and breeze block are 440 mm by 215 mm by 100 mm (length x height x width), meaning that bricks are often smaller than blocks.
We refer to the common thick bricks used in building construction as floor bricks. They put a lot of weight on the foundation and raised the floor's level because of their size. Bricks used for floors are usually 7 5/8′′ x 3 5/8′′ x 2 1/4′′ thick.
Brick measurements vary because it is challenging to make each brick exactly to size.
Brick Length: +/- 3 mm
Brick Width: +/- 2 mm
Brick Height: +/- 2 mm
